The kids aren't all right

UH OH! Stop Treating Me Like A Kid, E4, 10.00pm

We are positively rubbing our hands with glee, such is our anticipation of this show. Call us voyeuristic if you like, but we always have a strange fascination with shows where they take a bunch of kids who are all "I'm well grown up, me, I can totally live on my own innit" (check out our mad skillz with the youth patois) only for them to all suddenly realise that standing on a street corner inhaling something dubious all day and actually being an adult isn't always the same thing. Unless you're Pete Doherty.

So, here's the latest in a long line of shows where some young'uns are taken out of their natural habitat and forced to act like grown-ups. We can only feel sorry for the poor residents of Devon, which is where the selection of teenagers who all think they can totally cope with being an adult are relocated to. Sharing a house. Our obsessive-compulsive tendencies are already having palpitations at the mere thought of the mess.

In short: bragging and bravado leading to eventual comeuppance, with lots of yelling along the way. Sold!

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.
