I was a teenage
pain-in-the-ass

RAUCOUS! My Teen's a Nightmare - I'm Moving Out, ITV2, 9.00pm

Not that we want you to think we're shallow or anything, but there are occasions where we decide what to preview solely based on the title, and this would be one of those times. It sounds like it ought to be the subtitle of a 10-minute segment of Trisha or Ricki Lake, but in their infinite wisdom ITV have made it into an hour-long show.

In all honesty, it's nothing we haven't seen before. Parents and/or family tire of problem child's bad behaviour and send in an expert in a last-ditch attempt to sort the whole thing out. In this case there is a slight variation on the theme, as 14-year-old Ceiran's entire family will be moving out and allowing youth coach Sarah Lawson some one-on-one counselling time with the kid. Since we have, unsurprisingly, watched television before, we are expecting initial resistance, a small breakthrough, then some development, and a happy ending filled with hugging and learning.

Also on tonight: One of our favourite movies, Romy and Michele's High School Reunion is on Five at 9.00pm. You've probably already seen it, maybe you don't even like it, but hey: at least we didn't get fat. And we hope your babies look like monkeys.

About Us

According to Marxist theory, cultural forms such as opera, classical music and the literary works of Shakespeare all fall under the heading of high culture. Low culture refers to a wide variety of cultural themes that are characterised by their consumption by the masses. We might not be Marxists, but we do know we loved Footballers Wives. If you do too, you'll know what this is all about.
