Drum roll for Mossad mole
the end of the brutal sporting contest that aired on on Monday. Instead of the gentle pace of Escape To The Country, many of us stumbled on to the baying backbenchers of Westminster – or at least those who could stand after lunch – who berated their leader in a dreadful blood sport.
It made for a great spectacle until you realised that the entertainment value of this exercise may wear thin very soon.

Number 10 may be struggling but their nearby neighbour is flourishing, as we saw in
(BBC Two, Wednesday). If their former leader Boris tarnished the brand with his general buffoonery, this show boosted it massively, as did the release of Matthew Hedges, the British academic jailed for “spying” in the UAE.
Also, we learned that if you’re ever involved in a “pornography party” in Cambodia (soon to be offered by Thomas Cook), the Foreign Office will always be on your side in a lovely, non-judgmental way.
The trouble really begins when you have to face your relatives at the airport.

FI’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!
INALLY, (ITV, Sunday & Monday) is about to enter its interesting phase when celebrities find out how much we dislike them. Sorry, I mean like. Over the coming week we start to lose them, one by one. It’s like a kangaroo cull, only less bouncy.
And just to correct the lovely people at ITV, Monday’s excitement when three contestants were taken to the “outback” was technically nowhere near the “outback”. Just to confuse further, it was actually “the bush” which is somewhere near the “outdoor dunny”. Thank goodness no Australians are watching.
