balloon 30 August 2010
It’s just great when new tv comes along and delights you which is what it should do, really, whether that is with laughter or tears or both. SO it was with such delight that I saw ROGER AND VAL JUST GOT IN with Dawn French and Alfred Molina – funny, touching, really really moving and then tonight the total joy, also, of Simon Amstell’s GRANDMA’S HOUSE – the plot of the latter involved, amongst other wonderful plot strands, his mother insisting that he’s a celebrity and that he take part in a balloon ride over Africa for charity…and now later tonight, get this, I am watching a celeb crossing Rwanda in a balloon…not quite as hilarious as the Amstell but it has made me laugh all the same…
