Issue 39
"Kids on Top"
(BBC1, Wed, 7pm) Scary stuff. Children shopping. At least the parents are
about to take control when the tiredness kicks in & the novelty wears
off. Pot noodles get pretty boring after a few days. Seems like an
interesting little experiment this, but so far, very predictable. Shows what
the kids think about smoking though.
"Wife Swap" (CH4, Tues 9pm) Going for
the lowest common denominator vote? Cheap Ch4 thrills in the hope people
will tune in, in case its the "other" sort of wife swapping? Never! Am I
the only one who wants to string these people up? Bunch of nutters. And
what on earth does "goppin" mean? Gah, horrible parents, horrible
kids. That Sonia deserves a medal for putting up with her waste of space
other half every day, then the in-bred bigots from hell for our amusement.
There's meant to be 2 or 3 more in the series, but I'm not sure if I can
bear to watch.
 "World
Darts" (BBC2, all week) Televisual Temazepan! I think they're
trying to glam it up a bit though. Camera trickery, shots of random women's
cleavages, and a U2 soundtrack. But at the end of the day it's still darts.
One Hundred and Eighty & fat blokes drinking pints. I can see exactly the
same in my local, and feel like I've got a social life at the same time, so
why am I watching it on the tv?
"The Fall of Milosevic" (BBC2, Sun, 9pm) Don't panic, I'm not
going all intellectual on you, but there's been nothing on this week except
documentaries and docu-soaps. No entertainment at all. But goodness me, the
number of world leaders and other international important bods on this
programme? That doesn't happen every day. Shocking images, the harsh
reality of war brought into your living room, with an awful lot of
subtitles. It's fascinating to see what really goes on behind the spin of
politics, especially when you can remember it all happening. Pitched low
enough to be accessible to those who "Don't Do Politics", but without the
patronising tone we've come to expect of late. 10 out of 10.
"Crossroads" (ITV, weekdays, 5pm) is
back. Again. I think. It's looking suspiciously like Sunset Beach only with
British weather. Interesting idea. But, in all honesty, give it up.
Please.
And finally... quiz answer of the week. Carpet.
