My favourite lines, TV gold, TV dross
My favourite lines…
Channel 5’s life-affirming Benefits By The Sea: Jaywick… and proud resident John gushes: “I would regard it basically as a sh*thole.” That’s putting it kindly.
Channel 4’s The Jump… and the Alpine non-event’s top loser Sid Owen insists: “I can be a bit of a joker.” But not in a funny way.
TV gold… BBC1’s stunning The Night Manager. BBC1’s brilliant Happy Valley. ITV’s dazzling Doctor Thorne. BBC2’s extremely good Steve Backshall’s Extreme Mountain Challenge.
TV dross… Dismally depressing EastEnders going from bad to worse. Cockney cobblers. Whining Willie Thorne experiencing life on the streets from the comfort of a luxury hotel on BBC1’s Famous, Rich And Homeless.
