I usually enjoy the One Show but last night it was sickly and over the top. Main guest was "Hollywood Legend" Goldie Hawn. I was expecting the usual glamorous Goldie but what a disappointment. I think the Botox has just gone too far!!! Goldie was effervescing about a new project but the whole programme was a sickly pat on the back.
Matt Baker can be cringingly good at this and last night he was in top form. Louise Minchen was the other presenter in place of the poorly Alex Jones. To start the evening she looked as if somebody had sat on her hair. She seemed to have it re-arranged during the programme, however. As far as Goldie was concerned everything was either "awesome" or "amazing." Occasionally she downgraded to just "great." Matt wasn't going to be left behind, however. He described the Hollywood Legend as "brilliant and absolutely fantastic" and did this on numerous occasions. When Goldie informed him, after an article on driving lessons, that she had learnt to drive in Maryland he was off again: "That's amazing." Mind you I have driven in Maryland so he might just have a point there. By the end of the programme I needed the sick bucket.
Also watched the first episode of a new serial White Heat which follows a number of flatmates from the swinging sixties to the present day. It started rather slowly but by the end I was beginning to form some kind of affinity to the characters who were beginning to develop nicely. There were a number of hints that in coming episodes relationships will become rather strained. The programme also cut to the present day where one of the female characters said to another "There isn't a day go buy without me regretting what I did to you." I look forward to future episodes when things should unravel.
Another album to crow about. Have been enjoying Shallow Bed by Dry the River, a London folk/rock kind of band. I note they are playing Norwich Arts Centre soon so must book my tickets.
Can't leave today's blog without once again having another go at the Government for the coming planned closure of coastguard stations. This is folly of the most ridiculous kind and will cost lives. I understand Great Yarmouth coastguard station is due to close in the very near future. These are example of Government cuts that will cost lives.
