Will you be watching 'The Hunks'?

Was E4's Tool Academy too philosophical and intellectual for you? Did you ever think Big Brother would have been better if they'd just shoved a load of topless Hollyoaks wannabes in the house for Davina to drool over? Have you ever wondered what goes on in the minds of 'the lads' you see living it up down Yates's Wine Lodge on a Friday night? Well, Sky Living may just have the answer and it's called... The Hunks.

The premise for The Hunks, which we are told by a posh voiceover woman at the start of episode one, is "ten ordinary but beautiful guys living together for the summer in a social experiment". This, of course, is a load of hogwash. It's basically the good bit at the start of Tool Academy - thick-as-two-short-planks Neanderthals being exposed as thick-as-two-short-planks Neanderthals - but it has none of the hypocrisy or boring bits where it tries to change the participants into "good people". This is no-holds-barred reality TV, which showcases the very worst of male behaviour. Grubby, late-night sex antics, sleazy nights out and plenty of macho posturing by the pool, on the beach and anywhere else they can show off their 'guns'. These are the sort of blokes who think buying a card from MoonPig on Valentine's Day is the height of romance. Seriously.

There are guys cheating on girlfriends, guys groping girls they've met 30 minutes previously and guys being ever so slightly homophobic to the one gay chap in the house. The latter is more than a little ironic as The Hunks features camp work-out scenes and water splashing frolics that make the Village People look like serial womanisers. It also contains more gratuitous oiled-up torso shots than you could ever find on Grindr. And don't worry about that 'social experiment' intro, because the conversation rarely rises above such hot topics as, 'Where do you put your genitals when you wear skinny jeans?' So if any of this sounds like it might float your boat, the show starts tonight at 10pm on Sky Living.
