If you thought that TV reality programmes could not get much worse than 'My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding' then think again.
Cable TV programmes in the US beat us hands down for niche and outrageous content. Here are a selection of unbelievable programmes:
"Hillbilly Handfishin"
Some amazing people catch catfish by hand and feet. A net is a lot easier.
"Cajun Justice"
Crazy times with Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office, Louisiana, that promises a range of reports including one of a shape-shifting swamp creature called the Rougarou. It must be a swamp thing.
"Tattoo School"
Following students who take two weeks to learn "what most tattoo artists spend years learning" in Louisiana. Watch out for the spelling mistakes.
"Rat Bastards"
Follow the hunters of nutria, which are large, ecologically ruinous rodents. Set in Louisiana - there's a theme here.
"Full Metal Jousting"
Medieval jousting is back as an extreme sport with modern steel suits and "big money" prizes. A train crash in the making.
"Texas Multi Mamas"
A programme that follows the lives of mothers of twins, triplets and quadruplets in Texas. Double, triple and quadruple trouble.
"Doomsday Preppers"
Hunting out Americans that are getting themselves ready for the end of the world. An expert joins in advising them whether their survival tactics would work in the face of Armageddon, the Rapture or a mile-wide asteroid. Good to be prepared.
"Confessions: Animal Hoarding"
Visiting people who have a compulsion for accumulating various critters. Move over Doctor Doolittle.
"American Stuffers"
Don't say goodbye to your pets with the taxidermist in this programme. Time to run away and hide we think.
Bring back Rogue Traders, all is forgiven.
