Just promise you won't sing again...

IMPROVE! How Clean Is Your House?/You Are What You Eat, Channel 4, 8.00pm onwards

You Are What You EatWe get the distinct sense that Channel 4 is trying to double-team us into being better people, and we're not happy about it. Can we not just sit on our entirely untidy sofas eating the calorie-laden remnants of yesterday's pizza from a box crawling with cockroaches and feel happy about it?

Of course not. Although we still reserve the right to be far more interested in what Kim and Aggie have to say than in the so-called teachings of so-called Doctor Gillian McKeith. We still haven't forgiven her for utterly violating our eyes, ears and minds during The X Factor: Battle of the Stars with her insistence on singing songs about rumpo in some kind of key that musicologists will spend the rest of the decade trying to identify.

The only problem is that this rather begs the question: will there be any room for TV in this new celery-munching, dust-busting world? We rather hope so. Especially since at 9pm they're trying to encourage us to exercise as well. Hell, we go to the gym three times a week and we're still feeling guilty just sitting here writing this.

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.
