I'm going to tell you a secret

SAUCY! Strictly Confidential, ITV1, 9.00pm

We've been eagerly awaiting this one for some time: an adult drama about a sex therapist, written by Kay Mellor and starring Suranne "Barren Karen" Jones and Cristian "Jason Turner" Solimeno. Those are some pretty remarkable LOWCULTURE credentials right there, after all.

Other things that make us suspect this could be the best programme ever: unless we've misunderstood the pre-transmission bumph, Suranne Jones's character is a bisexualist who had an affair with a character played by Eva Pope (and again, excellent casting there to appeal to us); the first episode deals with a honeymooning couple played by Nikki Sanderson and David "Cutting It" Leon, with Tracey Brabin as Nikki Sanderson's mother. I mean, need we go on? (Although we don't approve of David Leon, who was quite fanciable in Cutting It, associating himself with Nikki Sanderson, but we'll try to remember that it's only fiction.)

Apparently there's going to be lots of bonking as well. Our main concern is if it turns out to be po-faced instead of campy fun, because that is clearly not the direction they should be going with this. We're slightly hopeful, anyway.

It looks good from the ads, although the presence of Nikki Sanderson is putting me right off...

It was rubbish, wasn't it. I think all the shagging was an attempt to detract attention from the utter shitness of it all.

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.
