Kvinner på fjernsyn

AA Gill tar et blikk på hvorfor det er så mange forglemmelige kvinner på fjernsyn:

Han gir oss også en update på karrieren til Ulrika Jonsson...

"But she was back again with Ulrika — Am I a Sex Addict? (Tuesday, C4). This is perhaps the first time a presenter has leapt at the chance to be her own reality victim. What was supposed to be an examination of sex addiction soon became a “look at me, look at me” view up Ulrika’s sex life. It would have been merely embarrassing if it hadn’t also, unintentionally, been appallingly funny. Ulrika sobbing her inability to love herself into the ear of a horse while taking part in equine therapy is something those of us who saw it will need to talk to a poodle about to get over. Jonsson has no talent for television except a willingness to explore her lack of talent. It was desperate, unenlightening, cynical broadcasting."
