Monday, I watched the controversial Immigration: The Inconvenient Truth with the rather dreamy Rageh Omaar. Investigating how immigration has affected the UK, Rageh used Enoch Powell’s Rivers of Blood speech from 40 odd years ago as a starting point to find out whether his visions of future Britain have come true. Some of the results of the specially commissioned yougov survey about the opinions of the native white population really didn’t surprise me, what did though was the views of some of the settled second or third generation immigrants towards newcomers… who knew that that level of anger and resentment was floating about? I look forward to Parts 2 and 3 with great interest.
Tuesday saw the long awaited return of Gay Breast Lover Gok Wan, and his How to Look Good Naked. Now some clever wag as already suggested the best way to look good naked it to turn the light off – but Gok believes that with some Spanx support pants and self perception alteration any women can feel good about herself regardless of size, shape and imagined flaws…
I was tempted to apply to the show once, until I saw the length of the application process and gave up. Some shrink would probably have a field day with that little admission. I do however genuinely love seeing these women who start the show standing in front of the 360° mirror in their awful sports bras and grey old lady pants, and emerge like butterflies by the end of the show in heels and corsets shouting about how damn sexy they look. By association I to believe that I can look good naked – until I remember I don’t own any Spanx, I can’t walk in high heels, and I don’t have a 35 year old gay man hanging about eager to tell me how great my bangers are….
If only…
Then tonight its episode 3 of The Apprentice. Personally I think The Sugar made a right balls up last week – from the edited cuts we saw Shazia was stitched up like a kipper by Jenny Celery – but I’m hoping that tonight’s pub challenge episode is a killer – as long as my horse isn’t the victim…
