"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 p urpose,
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.
