If
there is one thing I hate more than going to the dentist, it's cleaning.
So imagine my disgust when I switched my TV on recently to find
myself watching a programme titled 'How Clean is your House' hosted
by Kim Woodburn on Channel 4?
Well, all I can say is, methinks, this time they have taken reality
TV a bit too far. What
I want to know is:
..it's not entertainment and if we didn't have to do it,
then we wouldn't.... personally I think it should stay behind
closed doors |
a.
who the hell doesn't know how to clean their houses and needs lessons
on cleaning; b. get a cleaner for Christ's sake (Hey presto - this is
where Kim Woodburn comes in) and; c. having got a cleaner (Kim Woodburn) why do we need the
evidence on the toilet brush shoved up our noses that close and
personal in our living rooms?...
... the thought that springs to mind is some things in life just
being so unnecessary springs to mind.
Put
it this way: in dental terms, watching Gals Aloud or the now disbanded
vocal harmony group, One True Voice - and even Hearsay do their
thang on Pop idols/rivals - was a clean and polish. Sitting through
this cleaning programme is more like getting your teeth pulled slowly
without anaesthetics. Yikes!
And as for cleaning, it's not entertainment and if we didn't have
to do it, then we wouldn't, and personally I think it should stay
behind closed doors where it belongs.
Oh
yeah! Did I mention that this programme pulled in 4.1 million viewers
last week thereby attracting a 20% share of TV viewers at 7.30pm?
In my opinion that's a whole lot of people desperate to learn how
to clean their homes.
