Outnumbered

Something strange happened on terrestrial telly last night - a comedy was shown, on BBC1, on a Saturday night, and it was funny. Outnumbered might be a little twee for some, but what a relief to not have to watch a programme that involved dancing dogs or people, or Simon Cowell lording it over more star struck ordinary members of the public (as they are always referred to). Speaking of which, I can't help thinking he should get his comeuppance some time soon. It seemed to be heading that way on the news in the middle of the week when he was seen to mock someone on the American Pop Idol/X Factor who then went on to commit suicide, but his reign continues as people wait for his pronouncements as though he were God - or talented in any way.
