Journeyman is the new time-travel series running on NBC in the US and on Sky One here in the UK. I Sky Plus-ed a couple of episodes during the week and watched them last night.
Gerry Springer, host of Sky One’s Nothing But The Truth, has hit back at claims that all the people on his new show are trashy.
He insists that he features only the lives of normal people, he stated:
“In an interview with Martin Bashir, Princess Diana talked about her cheating during her marriage, bulimia and contemplating suicide - these issues are on my show every day. So if people on my show are ‘trash’ then so is she.”

The synopsis of the book reads:
Across the world, millions of people are members of street gangs. In groups, they fight, stab, rob, rape and murder anyone who isn’t one of their own.

On his harrowing journey he: meets murderous members of the Number gang in Pollsmoor Prison in Cape Town; crosses paths with Maori criminals in New Zealand; gets shot at in Rio; and, is set on fire as an initiation test for Russian Neo-Nazis Ross Kemp manages to get close to the world’s most violent street gangs: he’s streetwise enough to earn their trust and get them to confide their innermost secrets. It’s a wild ride - and not for the faint hearted.
