Need I go on?

I must say, however, that I didn't mind the first episode of Real Stories at all! Maybe I'm getting soft in my old age, but most of the gags amused me greatly. The idea that a legitimate reporter (Jennifer Adams) is hosting the thing and making deadpan statements like "Recruiting; annoying when it's al-Qaeda or the gays, but vital when it comes to paperboys" and "Touching young boys all across Australia; what a lovely man" just made it all-the-more hilarious.

I hope Hamish & Andy have better luck with this show than with their previous foray into television (by which I mean: I hope Real Stories lasts longer than six episodes).

I enjoyed the show a lot more than I thought I would - and I'm looking forward to next week.

Everything else on the above list can follow Yasmin's Getting Married's lead and sod right off, though. Especially The Wedge!
