Roger Mexico Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 1 hour ago, Passing Time said: Thankfully, I have managed to miss every one of the programs in the 25 series of this shite The real surprise was that it struggled on till 2018. Though I suppose it's a philosophical question that if it's on Channel 5, is it really being watched. Even now being on ITV2 is probably a step up. The Manx lad is definitely trying too hard on the "Hey! I'm whacky, me!!" front. The trouble is that Big Brother contestants are chosen exclusively from people who are desperate to be on television, almost certainly the group of people that anyone would least like to see on it. I can't find a Dr Matthew Simpson of the right vintage on the GMC Register. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he’s a doctor who works with old people (so not a “doctor” but someone with a doctorate in something who works in some vague health setting). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make sense, though at 24 he's still quite young to have got his PhD, it usually takes a year or two more, even if you didn't do a Masters. In related news, the great London blogger Diamond Geezer reported today that the site of the original Big Brother House is now literally part of the sewage system. Which is doubly appropriate as Peter Bazalgette, the creator of the UK Big Brother series, is the great-great-grandson of the man who created that sewer system. A coincidence much remarked on at the time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Colombe Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 I'd definitely want a second opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medicine is 5 years Uni (so leave 23/24) when you're a 'Junior Doctor' and then a couple of years working in hospitals etc, before you then specialize. Phd (Philosophical Doctorate) is usually a couple of years, after a year of Masters, after 3 years undergraduate. So 6 years total(ish). Either way he must be reasonably intelligent.

Plus he's not on the GMC list, so seems he's a Phd rather than a Medical Doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
