Now that we are parents, Jo and I collapse on the sofa at 7.30, after bedtime, and then we stay there all evening. We have become slaves to American crime dramas and reality TV.
For instance, on Friday night over the last year, America's Next Top Model merged seamlessly into New Zealands Next Top Model and then into Stylista (like top model except contestants compete for a job at Elle magazine. And are extra bitchy). Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares has merged into Tabithas Salon Takeover.
It's time to fight back.
I have designated Wednesday night as Intellectual Movie Night. Jo is quaking in her boots at the thought of low budget Britich films and American documentaries. I might even subscribe to the London Review of Books.
