FRAGRANT! Just Jade, Living TV, 8.00pm

We'd never have thought it back in 2002 when we were watching the third series of Big Brother and large amounts of the nations press were calling for the death of Jade Goody (for a variety of crimes including not being aware of the existence of East Anglia), but it seems now that she's the one that all contestants going into the house want to emulate. You can say what you like about her, but there's a canny business brain operating somewhere (even if it's not necessarily hers) because long after the rest of her housemates have all but disappeared from the public eye and only get rounded up again to write columns on the new series every time a fresh bunch of lunatics goes into the house (hello, Kate Lawler!), Jade's still in the public eye, and we quite love her for it.

Of course, a lot of the time it's for the wrong reasons - fights with her boyfriend, that time someone defrauded her of a large sum of cash, not to mention that unfortunate near-death experience at the London marathon - but she also still gets telly offers, including this bizarre but potentially brilliant show that chronicles her attempts to launch her own perfume. Now, as we mentioned last week, our recent moving of house has completely denied us access to Living TV for the foreseeable future (oh noes!) so we're judging this largely based on hearsay and the show's website (neither of which are, we suspect, the most reliable of sources), but if we had Living, we'd probably be watching it - through our fingers, if nothing else - hence the recommendation.

After all, who doesn't want to smell like Jade? You there, at the back...

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.
