Chez Moi

Ok I missed Episode I of this year’s series, shuttling as I was between Marne de Vallee / Chessy and St Pancras stations. But thanks to Guardian blogs and BBC’s excellent iPlayer, I have been brought up to speed. And I have to say, the actual viewing of the missed episode paled in comparison to Guardian’s Anna Pickard’s lively piece. The girl is undoubtedly hilarious!

I actually thought I would steer clear of this year’s quota as it was getting a bit stale. A scowling Surallen, the latest crop of Britian’s Supreme Twats and the po-faced trusty sidekicks was too much deja-vu. But typical of car crash telly, one cannot keep away, right? And when you can get quality television, thanks to the supremely arrogant tools on the show, why deny oneself eh?

Last year’s show was made interesting as 1. I could discuss it the next day with my team at work and 2. we had a sweep of sorts to predict the winner. (I gotta say, I never would have chosen Simon Ambrose in a million years!) So this year, I am looking to my lovely readers and my reluctant uni mates to make it all interesting.

So, BBC 1, Wednesday at 9.00 pm - mark it!
