has anyone been watching 'Meet the Natives' on C4?
I have a horrible sad suspicion there is going to be an awful denouement

i keep forgetting it's on
so, having not seen it, am i justified in thinking that it's very very patronising in a 'look at these silly darkies! they don't know what a hoover is!' kind of way?

it's not too bad in that respect
I'm not sure why they've divided it into 'classes' though - the Manc people they chose for the 'working class' were the only ones with any humility
the toff guy is just painful to watch

Have you seen the "Adventures of Prince Phillip" strip in Viz?
"Here, Chinky - dry your slitty eyes on this hankie - you haven't so much lost a dog as gained a Chinese meal, what what?"

I read the description, something about the working class
Which always annoys me, because "Working class" now means "thick chav" in media-speak. So I avoided it.

i was a bit concerned about that
but over all i thought they were a nice enough family, dad even went to the trouble of learning a few words of the guests lingo.
as mighty nimbus said, the toff is painful to watch.

Blimey, so when they said "Working Class", they actually meant it.
I'm no class warrior, but my family comes from a working class background and when the media use the term to mean "underclass" it grinds my gears.

i think it's all of the lovely, i know it's a bit well staged, but the fella's little speech at the end of his custom dance brings a tear to my eye.
i love those guys.
