The time is 1am and I feel like exploring the bizarre lands beyond my grammatically incomprehensible mind. I watched the first half of 10 O'clock Live this evening only to find Lauren had not only increase her foul vocab but also fell into what must have been Alan Carr's wardrobe, emerging with a hideous pink jacket peppered with glittery rocks with matched the large metallic teddy bear hanging off her necklace. I would have turned the channel over anyway as even Charlie Brooker was a being a bit too vulgar, and Jimmy Carr appearing in pink frock and a blond wig spending 5 minutes selling holiday getaways to a bloke in a Gaddafi costume signaled an unexpected low in his career. The show seems to have gone from cutting edge political satire to a series of confusing gags involving politicians with the odd debate thrown in. Jimmy Carr, I've seen you do better.
David Mitchell hosted a debate between a Labour MP, a Tory MP and an Activist. I don't want to spoil it but you can imagine what the result was. Yes, 2 minutes of shouting, laughing and David firing terrific questions at people with opinions. It was hard to watch as he asked those questions knowing he wouldn't get anywhere near a satisfying reply in the few minutes he had. In the end we had more swearing, comparisons of the government to a man getting intimate with a panda, and swooping camera shots between satirical skits. Even if my cat hadn't fallen in the Vaseline and started running round like a maniac foaming at the mouth, I'm sure I would have changed the channel anyway!
