This Week on T.V. - 9th May 2008

Ooh la la, The Apprentice on Wednesday has to have been the funniest and most cringe-making of the series so far with the downfall of the Jennifers and the obvious lack of kosher knowledge. For those of us who stick to 100% as the best, rather than the much quoted 110% or the extravagantly ambitious 150%, the candidates, who are all in a little business world of their own, give us mortals a chance to feel superior. Thank you.

Eastenders again and the scriptwriters really should remember their audience has an attention span longer than they do. Jase and Mickey have both separately had a confrontation with Sean - following so far? - they clean Mrs Masood's car, and before they receive the payment the car is dirty again. As Mickey helpfully pointed out, someone has done this on purpose.If this is supposed to be the best soap, I want a recount.

 

This Week on T.V. - 3rd May 2008

Paranoid, hateful and full of self-loathing - anyway, enough about me because Peep Show is back. The boys have returned to the flat after Mark's disastrous wedding and it's no surprise that the selfless one is ready to date again. His new found machismo was a shock, though, when he apprehended and locked up the burglar on the balcony and hope the same amoral decision that led to the burning and eating of a pet dog will surface again.

I  wonder if Eastenders has been pulling out all the stops in time for the British Soap Awards. Ben's tap dancing and Stacie's mum cooking a cocaine surprise have given the shattered viewers a few moments of light relief, but Ben really needs to overcome his embarrassment, and should learn to do more than the beginning and end, if he is aiming for the big time.
