This week’s must-see TV
1 The Real Housewives Of Dallas
FROM TUESDAY, HAYU NEW SERIES As those of us who remember the 80s know, no one does drama like Dallas! The ladies of the Lone Star State are returning for the second season of the fly-on-the-wall reality TV show — regulars Cary, Stephanie, Lee-Ann and Brandi are back, and they’re joined by newcomers D’Andra, who describes herself as ‘pretty ballsy’, and Kameron, who is a real-life Elle Woods from Legally Blonde (she’s even developing her own range of pink organic dog food). Expect plenty of wild times ahead, including a crazy night out on a yacht and sex toys on holiday. Everything is bigger in Texas, including the hair – and, of course, the arguments!
