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. Basically, we’re all ganging up on some wealthy people who live in London and trolling them until one of them snaps with the pressure. Aren’t we a charming country?
