Baby, come back
CRYING! The Baby Borrowers, BBC3, 10.30pm
We're willing to wager you've heard a fair bit about this one over the past couple of days. The Oh Noes lobby have been clutching their pearls at what is apparently another example of the BBC's blatant disregard for child safety, this show in which a selection of teenage couples are given a proper, real, living, breathing and oh-yes-crying baby to look after. It's a very literal case of "won't somebody think of the children?", although we're slightly baffled by quite what they hoped to achieve, since the series has already been filmed and is in the can, therefore the babies in question have already been exposed to whatever dangers they were likely to be exposed to, and have presumably emerged unscathed the other side. But then, perhaps it's only real if it gets shown on television. But does that mean that, by that reasoning, everything that gets shown on television is real? If so: awesome. We're off to slay some vampires as soon as we've posted this.
