Teenage boob jobs - celebs have a lot to answer for...

OK so last night I had to endure ITVs Teen Boob Jobs: Too much too soon, when I say endure, my wife insisted we watched it in bed instead of Ruddy Hell! It's Harry and Paul - which has been hugely disappointing thus far and about as flat as Joan Rivers chest, which brings me back onto teenage boob jobs. The youngest teenager who underwent the knife was just 16, and I found myself thinking what will become of these young girls in a few years time when they will need further surgery. The show ended with confirmation of my worst fears as one of the featured four girls said she wanted yet another op to make her even bigger....and so it goes. I'm no doctor or physcologist but I don't agree with teenagers having boob jobs - I actually blame their parents, and this 'must have' culture which is driven by celebs in the media.

Power to the people....

This programme marked the first of a new BBC2 series as Tim Samuels joined the residents of Lanreath, a small Cornish Town which like many similar small villages in the UK is under threat. Samuels and the villagers, which included Morris Dancers, farm animals, children and old age pensioners travelled enblock to London to protest about what is happening to Lanreath and to save their tiny local school. Alas the collective best efforts to save the school failed but the people of village did manage to reopen the local post office and the local pub. You cannot help but admire the spirit of communities like those of Lanreath. Samuels comes across well and the series is one to look out for.
