Strictly speaking, none of the celebrities were jobless of course, seeing as they were working on the show to portray how devastating unemployment is for more ordinary people, but I thought I would give it a go anyway. And if you're also concerned about how Meg Matthews (just a minute, did she used to have blonde hair around the time she married into the Gallagher dynasty?) and Camilla Parker Bowles' niece are getting on in the real world, you should tune in too. Larry Lamb looks set to be the Austin Mitchell of this tribe as he fails to grasp the earnest social experiment and instead does his own thing, but it is strange to see some of them crumble after a few days of knockbacks and only £40 to spend. So if you get your kicks from watching celebs being as distressed as everyone else, even though they know they are going home soon, tune in for part two (on 10 March 2010).
