Celebrity Big Brother

Celebrity Big Brother

Channel 4

My twin loves of celebrity and television intersect at a point of pure, infinite goodness. This is a point I call Celebrity Big Brother Bow down to the Don.

"determined to show the world she's not just a vacuous clothes horse, she's well on the way to proving she is...."

Still reeling from the giddy excitement of the first night, here is Aerial Telly's at-a-glance guide to the contestants.

John McCririck: opinionated right-wing bigot. Wears his bigotry on his sleeve in the hope that he will be thought of as a lovable old curmudgeon. He will, of course, be thought of as the fat, sweaty turd he is.

Germaine Greer: the pioneering feminist now spends her days disagreeing with Tom Paulin on the Late Review and calling young feminists dirty scrubbers and the like - a passion she shares with John McCririck.

Bez: a bog-eyed fucknut who became a walking guinea-pig for the effects of smoking 40 crack rocks a-day for five years. The results are inconclusive. Once opined that it was OK to kill a homosexual "if he got his fooking cock out". The gay vote may be split.

Kenzie from Blazin Squad: horrible little turd with no redeeming features. He speakee de street slang but is about as much from the street as Darren Day is. Is threatening to beatbox and kick a freestyle. At which point I will kick a broomstick up his bony arse, pull his spinal cord through his mouth before flogging his soggy carcass with it.

Caprice: determined to show the world she's not just a vacuous clothes horse, she's well on the way to proving she is. Used to date Tony Adams which suggests Bez may be in with a chance.

Brigitte Nielsen: 18 ft tall with shoulders like a quarterback, Nielsen is possibly the most bonkers woman who ever lived. Sexually voracious, her asylum seeking boyfriend fits in her handbag and is thought not to expect sexual fidelity from her.

Lisa I'Anson: living in what PJ O'Rourke once referred to as "the lonely hell of the formerly cute". Once beautiful, she spoke on her preview tape of her all-conquering sexual allure. Sorry sweetie, you're a bit porky these days and your face is fucked. No one's really sure what you did anyway apart from being an MTV clone back in the day.

Jeremy Edwards: famous for being a minor actor, his career high-point came when he almost married Rachel Stevens before she realised there were single men with money and dumped Jeremy to become engaged to a different billionaire every month. A future trophy husband for Cheryl Tweedy.

Bring It On! Where there is harmony let us bring discord. Celebrity Big Brother will own you all....
