I’m starting to feel a bit self concious now about blogging about tv - I swear to god its not the only thing I do.
I just got bored of watching “Lilly Allen and Friends”, a tv chat show which premise seems to be “get the audience to write it for us and we’ll headline it with Lilly Allen cos she can sing good and is amusing”
The whole of the first episode seemed to be “here is an example of what we like, but we want you to send it in for us!” - eg, video clips of animals fucking (yes, ok, so they are strangely and wrongly amusing). They also got David Mitchell on and did a fairly bland interview, at which point I switched off.
In the beginning Lilly (I keep wanting to spell that with an e…I don’t know why) Allen (I also feel uncomfortable calling celebraties by their first name even though you know who I mean - I’m not friends with her and so it seems weird.) asked members of the audience to relay a funny and embarrassing story about themselves, and its always fun watching people sell their dignity for a small moment of telly time, but when she said their names, none of them even tried to pretend to be shocked - it was clearly rehearsed and that takes the fun out of the whole situation. Its far less humiliating!
I have to say I’m disappointed - I’ve thought Lilly Allen was funny and I like her music, but her show just felt very scripted. Maybe I’m being mean - she’s not a comedian really and this is the first episode and I couldn’t do better but I’m not going to be watching that again.
I’m also not going to watch it because its a bad influence and got me hurt; L.A (there, less letters…which I’ve just added by typing this…) can fit her fist in her mouth, and it looked fairly easy and I though “well everyone is always telling me I’ve got a big gob…” (despite being told by numerous dentists I have a very small mouth and have had to have a lot of teeth removed to ensure I don’t end up looking like I bought t-rex dentures) and yes, I stupidly tried…and failed, but in the process I managed to split the corner of my mouth. So now it hurts - stupid me.
Lotsa Love
