Let's showcase this socially retiring child by placing him in a situation where he is apparently extremely uncomfortable, and then we can all feel good about ourselves for watching daytime TV and not having special mental abilities, then laugh at him and be happy to be "normal"!
I wonder if the editor of this programme's literacy level is up to putting the following syllables in order to spell my description of him / her:
su-cock-cker

Is it just me or does that kid remind you of Marcus 2.0? Great publicity for home education too...

I think they´re related.

The funny thing is that I don't believe they intended for the kid or themselves to look stupid. Car crash TV. I love it!

Btw, I can't spell so that pretty much rules us out from being related.

Can't wait to see Marcus on tv. Big Brother maybe?

I'll have you know I've already been on TV. Twice. Fame has clearly done nothing to me! ... or indeed for me!

Let me guess. Watchdog and RogueTraders?

I really had no difficulty in recognising Marcus' voice Watchdog had tried to change during that insider interview they included in their feature on boiler rooms.

Still, that five-course meal Marcus paid for us at Chateau Lapin Tres Deliceux was awesome, and I didn't really feel too bad that Marcus paid with shares in Enron's sister company No-Ron. The chefs do a great rabbit main course, but they're thick as shit at the Chateau!

I recommend the "Pigeon avec plumeaux de couchon violé avec sause South-Endoise". Always a winner with the ladies (the sause is Rohypnol based)

Clearly they forgot to teach the child how to string together the words he has been spelling.

Is that tuna sub still going spare?
