Leftie critics have accused Benefits Street of exploiting the poor: they call it 'poverty porn'. But life here isn't so different from the over-privileged existence of pointless celebrities living off trust funds.
They both exist on handouts, and they're both aimless, bone-idle and stoned — it's just that one lot dress in designer clothes, while the others get their tracksuits and T-shirts off dodgy market stalls.
PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT The first thought most of us had when an actor playing Sir Winston appeared in Churchill: When Britain Said No (BBC2) was: ‘Hang on! Where’s Robert Hardy, then?’ But Christian Rodska did a masterful job. It was almost like watching real footage of the old warrior himself.
That's the males, at any rate. The brunt of the misery is borne by the women, and it is carved into their faces. There's a culture of forgiveness, an unspoken law that whatever stupidity the menfolk commit, their mothers and girlfriends will mop it up afterwards.
So Charlie in his wheelchair can snarl for the camera, while his mother Leanne gives him a flannel bath and dresses him. She's got better things to do, with a two-year-old daughter to care for, but the teenager knows she will wait on him hand and foot.
Meanwhile, mother-of-two Lisa is fretting that her partner Steve will miss the birth of their baby. She has already lost one stillborn child, and the latest pregnancy is also developing complications.
But Steve has managed to get himself arrested for brawling. Facing jail, he still can't resist bragging about all the other fights he has been in — most of them, by the sound of it,

You'd think these women would be better off without any of them, the sons and boyfriends who bleed them dry. The only time we saw Lisa crack a smile,

Baby-making was all that mattered. 'I could get sterilised and still fall pregnant,

Hanging around in the yard outside Lisa's house, a girl of 11 or so echoed the creed. 'Birth is disgusting,' she proclaimed,

One sure cure for boredom is a cookery lesson, and chef James Martin delivered a bookful in the first of his new series The Box (BBC1), on every afternoon this week. Three contestants are handed various boxloads of ingredients and told to get on with it.
Best of the recipes,
http://medyamagazine.com/wp-pass.php?rolex-day-date-ii-rose-gold-gold-roman.html, especially if you don't have a trust fund to draw on,
http://rentasgastronomicas.com/wp-rss.php?crea-la-camiseta-de-futbol-de-brasil-con-tu-nombre-y-numero.html, involved a £3 assortment of tinned tuna, potato, red pepper,

New cookery concepts are the dream of every TV commissioning editor, and James Martin (pictured) looks like he is on to a winner straight out of the box
Charity manager Kimberley, 31, turned that unpromising selection into mouthwatering fishcakes, garnished with cheese straws.
She wasn't the winner, though. James gave the prize to Cambridge student Ellie, who opened a box marked 'meat' and delivered a stuffed pork fillet garnished with raw celeriac.
That was an easy win: James never willingly misses a chance to remind viewers that he grew up on a pig farm.

http://www.jocko.dk/sidebar.php?tyske-bundesliga/bvb-borussia-dortmund, pink wafer biscuits and champagne.
That does sound like a typically Trixie dinner.
Thanks to rapid editing and a well-designed format,
