Big Brother

1:31pm Wednesday 17th June 2009

Big Brother viewers are steadily ebbing away. The show has sprung a leak, through which any real interest seems to be relentlessly escaping.

Celebrity Wife Swap

8:01pm Wednesday 10th June 2009

I suspect that all those involved in last week’s episode of Celebrity Wife Swap thought they had it in the bag by pairing up Rhona Cameron and Stan Boardman.

Come Dine With Me

10:01am Friday 5th June 2009

Come Dine With Me is a week long contest between 5 strangers, all of whom must devise and prepare their own menu and attempt to lay on a suitably smooth evening for the other 4. The food, the conversation, the pattern on the tablecloth, the sheen on the cutlery – all will be noted, scrutinized and brutally judged. The guests then score their host out of ten for the evening (usually in the back of a taxi when they’ve consumed so much wine it’s slopping out of their earholes).

Neighbours

8:59pm Thursday 28th May 2009

Neighbours champions the cosy domesticity so wilfully, gleefully destroyed by most other soaps. Plenty of drama, but there’s usually somebody on hand with a casserole and some sensible advice.

Coach Trip

11:03pm Monday 18th May 2009

Coach Trip is a brilliant programme. You get yourself a coach. You get yourself some contestants, divided into pairs and convinced that their ideal holiday is to spend an infinite amount of time on this coach, touring the many sherry distilleries and candle factories of Europe. You get yourself a temperamental, effeminate tour guide named Brendan, who perspires with such vigour that he needs to change every ten minutes. Ideally suited to the warmer climes, is Brendan. Oh, and you ask the contestants to line up every night and vote for who they want to send home. In front of each other.

Katie and Peter: Stateside

5:32pm Thursday 7th May 2009

You probably thought that you knew everything you needed to know about Queen of the Mammaries, Katie Price, and her antipodean partner in tanning, Peter Andre. Well, you’re right. What else is there to know about these two? Not a lot.

Diagnosis Murder

5:50pm Friday 1st May 2009

Diagnosis Murder has managed to attract something of a cult following in the UK, and it’s not difficult to understand how it has achieved this revered status. It’s camp, it’s gloriously predictable, it’s unintentionally hilarious and it has Van Dyke’s shoe-horned into every possible spare role.
