Anybody else watched any of the Rees-Mogg reality show on Discovery+, an inside look at the life of the haunted Victorian pencil and his unusual family?
After half an hour our jaws had been stuck too long in the dropped position for us to be able to continue. Suffice to say that if you enjoy the spectacle of utterly carefree entitlement you'll enjoy it.

Sort of watched the first 10mins and decided it wasn’t actually anything enjoyable for us. I dont subscribe to the school of hating everything JRM, or even considering that important, influential enough to overly care about. I will say though that I do fully subscribe to his attitude of enjoying winding ppl up because so many simply deserve it.

Angela Rayner seems to have a similar effect but I wonder if anyone would categorise his comments about the Grenfell victims as ‘winding ppl up?’

I’m really not sure he’s that disingenuous, but I won’t watch the documentary, I find him exceptionally dull.

I don’t have any great hate for Angie either. I’m also northern working class chav scum.

I wouldn’t watch this or any other reality show, starring these self serving ponces, pimping themselves for financial gain and notoriety.

Integrity is clearly a thing of the past for our elected members.

I'd sooner eat a dog egg sandwich than deliberately watch anything with JR-M in it!

It is always quite entertaining seeing how angry he makes some people. Life's generally much more enjoyable when you don't take anything too seriously.

I don't think I have any way to watch Discovery plus without another subscription but if I did, I'd probably have a watch.

We watched it, he knows he winds people up and he's pretty thick skinned about it with his humour.
He came across as fairly genuine with a decent outlook knowing he's extremely fortunate as are his wife/ children. He's obviously extremely privelaged and not really aware of how normal working class people live/struggle but it was worth watching as a series to see "how the other half live" etc.
Not a lot more to be said, not sure it needs a second series really.
