![]() And that's without waking up with Adrian Chiles, Christine Bleakley or Tony Blair.Years before he became revered as the ‘Gentleman of British Horror’, prolific filmmaker Pete Walker started his cinema career making hugely popular sexploitation movies and gangland thrillers. And in Come Dine With Me: Big Brother Winners (Channel 4), Sophie, who you'll remember won BB10 last year, wonders if potatoes grow on trees.Īll that excitement in one night: the summer drought is over. More thrillingly, in Surgery School (ITV1), Nicola – blonde, pretty, how come you got picked to be on TV? – gets to lance her first boil. Oh go on, please boil the Willmotts in a big pot and eat them! But they don't they all get along splendidly, and learn from each other: we're all the same underneath bla bla bla. They play at being Mongolian nomads, and visit a remote Papuan tribe who've never met white people before. In My Family's Crazy Gap Year (ITV1), the well-heeled Willmott family go on a self-indulgent world tour to see what life is like outside the home counties. One thing I'd like to know: did an innocent animal die in the making of Him and Her, and if so, was the RSPCA watching? So it was a spider, so what? God loves spiders too. I think this kind of thing is going on in bedrooms all over the country. Him and Her is strangely charming, warm, touching even – as well as being funny. But in a nice way, not like Trevor Eve and Imogen Poots. It's all pretty inappropriate really, and puerile, smelly, and ever so slightly shocking. Plus there's a neighbour – a show-stealing performance from Joe Wilkinson – who's lonely and inappropriate. And she goes to the loo, with the door open. I was new to dick-dancing to be honest, but it's pretty much what it says on the tin: his dick does the dancing. He (Russell Tovey) does do a "dick dance" for her (Sarah Solemani) though. There's a lot of sex talk in new comedy Him and Her (BBC3), but not much actual action. Oh yes, teenage daughter's pregnant by her now unemployed, abusive, chippy Yorkshire husband. ![]() I'm already worried for that poor baby and it hasn't even been born yet. I'm guessing (I was too young for the original) there's going to be vengeance on a grand scale. There are two more to go, and I'm thinking we're nowhere near rock bottom yet, in terms of behaviour. What 17-year-old texts her father: "Daddy can u meet? I've been SINFUL."īelievable or not, it's pretty compelling. Is the bad thing with the intern a substitute for what would be a much worse thing with his own daughter? How's your father? He's your father! Are we even meant to think that? Even if not, I find their relationship not just creepy but also unbelievable. It's all adoring looks, hugs and kisses – and, well, I'm sorry, but it's just wrong. ![]() That prize goes to the relationship between dad (Trevor Eve) and daughter (Imogen Poots). ![]() Which still isn't the most shocking thing about BoBW. So they've had to bring it all forward a couple of years, and turn him into chippy violent Yorkshireman. But obviously that wouldn't even raise an eyebrow these days (I mean, was there a university lecturer you didn't sleep with?). In the first TV adaptation of Andrea Newman's novel, 34 years ago, the daughter's inappropriate fella was her American university lecturer.
