I'M shuffling uncomfortably in my seat. Not surprising after I'd watched Jim Fenner get a warm welcome in the showers after he was banged up for his fit-up on Karen Betts.
For those of you who weren't watching at the end of the last Bad Girls (ITV1, Tuesday) instalment, allow me to refresh your memory.
After seeing off Yvonne Atkins and framing Betts by donning a blonde wig, nicking her car and running down an innocent man, Fenner was convinced all would be well in the world.
He'd just wed fellow screw Di and was looking forward to an easy life. No such luck.
In pop the Bizzies at the perfect moment (as they so often do) to stick evil Fenner on the other side of the bars.
Meanwhile, back on G-Wing, psycho-but-gorgeous Natalie was prancing around giving it the big one, relishing her new role as Top Dog, Costa con Phyl turned fellow inmate Bev into Alma Baldwin from Corrie, all with a swift makeover from the Julies and Tina couldn't couldn't cope with life on the outside so torched some clothes.
Other than Fenner's horrific shower scene, it was all rather comical (not something you expect from Larkhall) although Darlene Cake's one-liners are still shining through. "Whad? Why can't me be a Rasta, aiiiy? Or should that be "Why can't aiiiy be a Rasta, me?"
Incidentally, am I the only one who finds the name Darlene Cake really funny? Oh, okay...
The Little Britain bandwagon keeps on a'rollin, despite the number of people leaping on for a ride.
If there was a cow in the show, then the Beeb would milk it, but, instead, we were just left to marvel over the saddos in the latest BBC2 documentary The Real Little Britain (BBC2, Monday). Dumbing down? Whatever do you mean?
First up was Adrienne, (a poor man's Vicky Pollard), a mouthy teenage girl whose life revolved around having milkshake fights in Maccy D's with her "geerlfrenz" and generally running around swearing and causing discomfort. Sure she was chavvy, but there was no smoking in the swimming pool, no "yeah, but, no" and no swapping of babies for Westlife CDs. Hence, no laughs.
Robyn, on the other hand, provided plenty of "look away now" moments. S/he, like the David Walliams' Emily Howard, may have been a rubbish transvestite, but it was more stomach-turning than laugh-out-loud. Most of her/his pearls of wisdom can't be repeated in a family newspaper, but if you're eating your dinner then that can only be a good thing.
The star of the show was undoubtedly Stuart, the only gay in his Welsh village.
Despite being vain to the extent that he has plastered his walls with camp pictures of himself, Stu came across as quite a likeable character, even in the face of the obvious troubles he had back home in Wales.
Frankly, though, it's hard to see where the Beeb thought it was going to find real people as eccentric as the characters from Little Britain. I mean, when was the last time you saw a bloke in a wheelchair beat up a load of lippy kids?
Another item to tick off on the List of Things You Never Think You'll See.
Cue Friday Night with Jonathan Ross (BBC1, Friday). Jonathan and his guests are always good value and that was certainly the case last week.
You could try for a thousand years, and you'd never get Oasis, Bradley Walsh and Colin and Justin from How Not To Decorate in the same room, but somehow Wossy managed it.
Even more worrying, however, was the sight of Noel Gallagher and Colin enjoying a beer and a giggle as Jonathan interviewed Walsh.
Now, I know you've got an album to promote, Noel, but what happened to cocaine on your cornflakes and good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll?
