TV Review: Seven Days, Channel 4, Wednesday, 29 September, 10pm

August 5th, 2012 By Mof Gimmers

Seven Days (Channel 4, Wednesday, 29 September, 10pm) is still on our box, once a week, just so the show lacks the momentum of a real reality show, leaving the British television viewing public the chance to store up vital resentment and cruelty.

Thanks to this latest social experiment, which is so ingrained in social networking that the line is truly blurred to the point of awkwardness, we see Britons rising to the challenge of making complete strangers as unhappy and upset as possible.

And it’s a challenge that we’re all seemingly taking up with the kind of enthusiasm that we rarely see on these shores. We’re, at long last, unified and speaking as one.

“DON’T EAT ANYTHING… ‘TIL YOU’VE WATCHED THIS!” cried the advertising trailer for new show Food (Channel 4, Wednesday, 15 September, 8pm), leaving thousands of viewers starving to death before the programme even aired.

Still, no matter, because those that perished saved themselves from a breathtakingly pointless programme which pointed at foodstuffs shouting “It’s food! LOOK! FOOD!” and very little else.

That’s okay though because food is just food isn’t it? Television shows about it are usually made fun by the personalities in it. Masterchef has the camp machismo of Gregg and Torode, while Rick Stein makes us want to eat fish because he’s a cuddly old man. What’s that?
