Last night Channel 4 screened the second episode of the second series of 'WIFE SWAP' - an ingenious programme where the wives in two families switch roles for 10 days and take on their lives, jobs, families and responsibilities.
To say it was lively last night is a bit of an understatement. Lizzie and Mark were from a council estate in Uncouth Street, Rochdale, were on benefits worth an incredible £37,000 a year and had a rabbit-like EIGHT children. Devonians Emma and Colin pulled in £27,000 a year, lived in a smart street and had a comparatively conservative two kids.
What amused Mark and I during the build-up to the switch was the fact that Channel 4 played circus-esque music when filming Lizzie and Mark (electric plugs hanging off walls, chain smoking, kids as far as the eye could see) and normal stuff when Colin and Emma were on.
Needless to say, when the switch was made, they didn't get on. Lizzie shouted and screamed about absolutely nothing and never made a point, Mark smoked and swore an incredible amount whilst Colin and Emma were tolerant, peaceful and assertive.
When the show finished, the narrator announced that chatting with the stars of the show was possible in their online chatroom, so I duly logged on with another 2800 people and so began the forum.
Half an hour later and Mark and I had instigated a political debate about how £37,000 in benefits was possible, thus sparking a 'we hate the Labour government' campaign in the chatroom. Then, to cap it all off, it was decided amongst the hundreds of people contributing, that hanging and gas chambers should be brought back to rid the world of awful, uncouth people (I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions - I wouldn't want to be sued for libel...)
Tune in next week.....
