Rob Ashwell 2.0

Being the elitist snob that I am I try to deny watching populist, puerile, pugnacious pap. I do genuinely loathe Celebrity Insert Title Here. Big Brother sends chills down my spine. I have only reluctantly watched any of the Apprentice - is it me or does Kevin look like Matt Lucas?

However, I do like the car crash element only normally seen in the early stages of X Factor. But I am also torn by the knowledge that there is something not quite right with the contestants and, more importantly, their families for putting themselves on such a show. I, with my tone deaf voice that fluctuates between falsetto and baritone uncontrolably, can sing better. I also know that if you look like the cross between a naked mole rate and an aye aye then you maybe missing the missing X Factor.

So I was delighted to see car crash TV that didn’t leave my conscience screaming at me for being cruel. The Inbetweeners. So wonderful. Reaching the David Brent-esque level without going too far. I loved it.

In one episode alone it smacked a frisbee into a disabled girl’s face and (without being offensive) managed to have a homophobic scene culminating in a ‘he touched me there’ moment.

Comic talent. I squirmed. Pure brilliance
