When I read about it on the net it had me scratching my head saying WTF?

I've heard about flogging a dead horse, but flogging a dead celebrity (hmmmm...an interesting idea for a gameshow) just to jump on a bandwagon for ratings, seems a bit low.
If the show didn't have Derek Acorah doing the table-tapping then it would hold no real interest for me at all, that bloke is hilarious when he starts talking to his 'spirit-guide' Sam
