Tonight's TV

Another night of watching My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding on Channel Four, but it wasn't a good one this week. There wasn't a wedding. There was one hen night (not a wedding, but related, so OK, we'll let that one go) but it was mainly about serious issues.

No one tunes in to that show to learn something. It's not BBC4, it's Channel 4, and people have come to expect what that TV show will offer.

And you can't laugh at someone being made homeless or someone racing horses on roads which risked the safety of the animal and their kids. But you can laugh at a silly big wedding dress. You don't want to make fun of someone's traditions and culture, but a massive outfit that makes you look like a thing old women use to cover toilet rolls, now that's golden.

Let's hope next week is better.
