Swear it again

FOOTIE! All In The Game, Channel 4, 9.00pm

We're quite traumatised by the way in which all of our favourite football-related TV shows have been dealt the blow of the axeman recently. True, we can see the point of the people who are arguing that Footballers' Wives and Dream Team had reached the end of their natural lives, but there's still something distressing about knowing that our baby-tanning, breast-igniting, prostitute-bribing days are officially over. And it does tend to mean that we'll cling to anything in the schedules that has anything to do with football, even if it doesn't involve Tanya Turner or gratuitous shots of the locker room.

So yes, it's not exactly a glitzy soap opera starring rich bitches who treat men like playthings, but there are equally valid reasons for us to recommend this one. For starters, apparently it's full of swearing. Hooray! Swearing is, after all, extremely big and clever, although perhaps it's just because LOWCULTURE has a mouth like a sailor who's just fallen genitals-first into a van of rat traps. According to our very favourite listings publication, the Radio Times (and no, they're not paying us to say that), the show manages to fit in an impressive 136 f-words and seven c-words, amongst others. Not for the easily offended, then.

Oh, and the other reason is that it has some lovely LOWCULTURE present in the cast list - Sarah Manners from Casualty and Mile High will be there, and if you need more convincing, we just need to say - wait for it - Vicki Michelle. Wheee!

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.
