CBB ‘stars’ can learn from the CBeebies generation

Fair play to Channel 4’s schedulers for the alternative to Celebrity Big Brother they offered last night.

Both shows featured a bunch of immature attention-seekers sharing living space with proper grown-ups.

On Channel 5, some of this latest batch of Z-list celebs were simply behaving like small children.

However, in C4’s case we were dealing with actual pre-schoolers.

Of the two programmes, I’m willing to bet Old People’s Home For 4 Year Olds stands the best chance of improving anyone’s life.

It was a six-week social experiment to see if the lives of the residents of what Michael, 87, called “God’s so obvious, it makes you wonder how hard it would actually be to organise inter-generational sessions like this all over Britain.

That’s one for Theresa May. I have more pressing matters. Such as finding out exactly which comedy programme Hamish was watching during that scientific observation last night.

The only clue he gave was: “If I’d been watching that on television I would have changed the channel.”

Cheers Hamish. That’s really cut my shortlist down, pal. To around 40.
