If I keep watching this, will I start to appreciate what everyone else sees in it? Or will I just start softly weeping? So far neither has happened; I just get annoyed.

This is the second week of Mrs Brown's new chat show where celebrities drop by Mammy's house to sit on the sofa and have a natter. Despite the show being crude and loud, Mrs Brown has managed to pull in some genuine celebrities - by which I mean "people who are obviously recognisable".

You can't shake your head at her guests and snort, "Celebrities? Never 'eard of 'em!"

Last week she had Pamela Anderson, for crying out loud! Someone who has actually been to Hollywood!

Tonight she welcomes daytime TV overlords Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, plus Lulu and Adam Woodyatt, the latter better known as Ian Beale from EastEnders, and, in the pub, Kaiser Chiefs play a few songs.
