I arrived home from a meeeting last evening and sat down to complete the work I needed to do before going to bed. In the background the tweetling of television. I became more annoyed as the program impinged on my serenity, and realised after I had heard the word a**e for the sixth time in two minutes that obviously the TV was tuned to Big Brother Uncut!
On investigation I discovered the TV was on and no one was watching it...so turned it off!
We read today that last night's episode was considerably cleaned up.
Ms Killeen, our erstwhile host, says "On a more serious note" (it is difficult to believe that the extraordinarily cynical Gretel could ever be serious about anything), Killeen also told viewers "we don't condone the behaviour of these housemates but we do believe it should be out in the open."
No it shouldn't! The 'behaviour' she is talking about is people in the shower and their pre-bed conversations. Private moments of affection and so on.......
The BB audience may want to watch this but this doesn't mean it should be out in the open.
I am pleased to say that in a house of BB devotees...none of us could be bothered watching Uncut .
Ah well next week they will have to double the number of Anglo Saxon crudities. Thank goodness we will be overseas!
In startling contrast Andrew Denton's "Enough Rope" featured an interview with Anthony LaPaglia in which he and his wife Gia Carides appropriately shared a lot about their personal life, and also some of his careful reflecting on the current state of acting. The two things were worlds apart! The transcript is not yet on the website but will be worth a read if you missed it. My admiration for LaPaglia multiplied a thousand times, and of course Denton...well he is just superb...a far cry from the loony days of his youth. Though they were fun too!@!
