Does She Have to Spell It Out to You?

Oh joy. Following on from the success of her previous advert, Holly Valance is back to further promote the cause of reverse charges. Where as previously she employed a pesky mut to steal a young boy's clothes at a swimming pool, Holly is no longer nefariously nicking the pants of the innocent, but helping a scruffy sk8ter boi who has, rather foolishly, dropped not only his keys but also all of his loose change. Seeing as how the aforementioned youngster appears a tad street tough, and could probably break into the nearest car to find enough money for a phone call/crack fix, we can't help thinking Holly's advice isn't entirely necessary, but bless her anyway.
She's really building on her little "Do I have to spell it out to" catchphrase - the problem being that she does clearly have to spell out the word reverse for the type of teen who is so stupid as to leave the house with no cash/keys/phone/pants. Perhaps in the next advert, Holly will recruit a gang of pick-pocketing kids to rob an old woman, before the Australian songstress turns up and advises phoning 0800 Reverse, rather than 999. Then again, perhaps she won't.

This Is More Like It

Emmerdale's been a bit dull this past fortnight. No one's been murdered/squashed by heavy machinery, and all Patsy's done is start a feud with Chas. And while the whole Pearl/Len/RapistSon thing has been done well, it's a tad dull. And as for the Ethan/Debbie strand - yawn. Although dull Debbie's now about land another older man in the form of Andy, the transformation of Steph into a raging, Misery-esque psycho will provide some much needed camp drama. Just imagine the mock horror when Turner remembers exactly who pushed him down the stairs in the first place...
