Well "over the top" is a pretty commonly used expression and one that's been applied to Meat's performances for more than 30 years by critics, so why he wouldn't use it I have no idea
And he's used the pushing to "see what's on the other side" many times. I thought it was a good article .. and find to no surprise that it was the Sun which mainly reported his criticism of of his "TV bosses" and left out most of the interesting stuff
He seems gung ho for the show, has prepared with his usual focused professionalism, and I'm really looking forward to it .. a first for me and a reality show!
