hi everyone so today I want to talk about a new program for channel 4 and system --is Dipsy girls
and when I saw this in the television magazine I kind of thought well i warn't I while am I going
to get from this that is different to you know My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding and all those kind of
similar programs I've all stemmed from there and Selma Medine sells the dresses to the reject see
the gypsy travel the Gypsy from the traveler girls and and in this documentary she's kind
of training them to you know make the own dresses curler watch the message she puts
across so that she's giving back to the traveler in gypsy communities because they've given her so
much she is the number one in the UK for providing these elaborate wedding dresses to the Gypsy and
traveler girls and she's gonna give back to them by training I think it's ten of them if I remember
rightly and failing them to make these dresses so they have a job because a lot of the a lot of the
message as well as stressed that you know yes it's traditional for gypsy and traveler girls
to get married at a ridiculously young age and to have kids and to do the housework and to not
have a career and to not be very well educated and whereas this is saying well not all of them
want to be like that especially you know as the years go by people get more and more more than
everyday basically so she's training they love to give them back something and also to the program
as well also to assure you know look not every gypsy girl wants what what everybody thinks they
want this is kind of a housewife life if you want and so this is based on the first episode um well
I watch any more of it before I get in with the specifics of my opinions and yeah I might watch
the next episode but this only starts to get good about 10-15 minutes before the end and pretty much
the first half of it was an hour long pretty much the first half was Selma being well talking to the
camera was going to say being in food boat was just her talking to the camera basically saying
what I was doing it and where her shop is located and things and to be honest with you I could only
imagine you'd be watching this if you're a fan of the Gypsy weddings and things like
that so you can I'm gonna know a lot of this so I guess they should have kept them for me
you can't read me start the program without any background information but I think we spent too
much time with background information because if you're watching this you're going to know at
least a little bit about who she is what the wedding dresses are for and why they're so
elaborate so I think maybe we spent too much time on that it was until kind of the second
half when she started to interview the Gypsy and traveller girls to narrow them down to the
ten she's going to be training I keep saying ten I think is ten and my memories rubbish when when we
were narrowing it down that was the interesting bit because I really do think the personalities
of the Gypsy and traffic girls are very unique they're very interesting plus there's an Irish
Wang with a fantastic accent I loved her accent so much Cara meronym but this I just think the
format if it was wrong the concept is great not training these girls for six months giving back to
the community after they've given her something something makes a brilliant television program
I just think the format first episode was all wrong I wasn't happy with the editing pace of
it I didn't like at all however as I said the last set of 10-15 minutes maybe 20 minutes if
I'm being nice it went really really well and I thought yeah actually I enjoy this so I will
work to the next episode but if it know if I'm watching it and I'm halfway through and it's
still not getting any better I'm gonna just turn it off so it's not something which I'm prepared to
sit and wait and wait and wait for for it to be good but if it wasn't used to keep my attention
then yeah fine great I'll give it another watch I definitely think it's worth tuning in if you are
a fan of the Gypsy weddings and things like that because it it expands on that really if you've no
idea what my Bigfoot Gypsy Wedding is or whatever and so you can still watch it cuz you get all the
information anyway as I said there are a lot of detail in there but I do think it appeals
most to those who are already found of the show in the concept and the dresses and things like that
please feel free to let me know your thoughts on this and maybe you loved it that's fine if
you loved it deal let me know I'd love to see to how your opinions differ from mine and where
you stand in terms of how many times have you seen the show I'm not an addict if the Gypsy
Weddings but I am I do enjoy watching it but I'm not a massive massive I never used to like
it I used to hate it and then I kind of took me a while again to it now I kind of enjoy it enjoy it
quite a lot but I'll never be like the avid fan and I'll never have seen every single apps what
I doubt yeah but letting your thoughts on Telus gypsy girls and I'll see you all next time bye
