"UK's Worst: Pet Shops" (BBC1,
Weds 8.00) OK, good idea, exposing some of the con-artists
& just plain disreputable folks out there, but please, don't
give me half a story then fail to finish it. I want to know
more about how the lion came to be on the black market. And
what, if anything, was done about the people involved. C'mon,
tell me.
"The Food Police"
(BBC1, Weds 8.30) Feeling sick now. I never want to
see another chicken as long as I live. This has always been
one of the more interesting bits of Life Of Grime, so it's good to see
a programme just about the food inspection side of Environmental
Health, but, ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I don't want my tea any more.
"The Brits"
(ITV, Thu 8pm) and "The
Baftas" (BBC1, Sun 9pm) No More Award
Ceremonies! Please! Let's have a break for a week or
two. And the Brits was as dull as a wet weekend in Skegness
without people getting drunk and making fools of themselves.
"Celebrity Driving
School" (BBC1, Mon 8.30)
Yes! This is more like it! OK Nadia Sawalha serves
no useful purpose,
but we knew that already. I think Gareth Gates is just there
to attract the 13 year old girls, he's not that entertaining, but is
doing surprisingly well. However, someone needs to sit him
down and ask him a few questions. As his pop career's going to
be long forgotten by the end of the year, does he *need* a
Ferrari? I think a financial advisor might be a better
bet. Jade? Well she's milking every last second of
her fame isn't she? Proving yet again she's thick as two
short planks & twice as useless. How does she manage
to dress herself without assistance? And Paul "Lily Savage"
O'Grady. Well, what can I say? Make Jade look like a
fully functioning adult, and that's an achievement. I'm not
sure he should actually be allowed past his own front door without
adult supervision. Hopefully we'll get a bit of Natalie
Cassidy & Simon Day next week. I can't wait!
"MacIntyre
Investigates: Parents Under Attack" (BBC1, Mon
10.35) Not Donal MacIntyre's usual style, no undercover probing of
illegal goings on, but a very well handled, sensitive look at one of
the least recognised forms of domestic violence, children attacking
thier parents. It would be all too easy to spot the common
factors in these cases, and make patronising suggestions about how to
put a stop to it, but that wouldn't be fair. Not an easy
watch, but gripping all the same.
