Amanda Holden: Fantasy Lives
Well, she made a pretty respectable job of becoming a Parisian showgirl.
And she emerged unscathed from last week’s task, training to be a Hollywood stuntwoman.
So this final challenge, in which Amanda sets out to become a country
singer in Nashville, should be a relative doddle – shouldn’t it..?
ONE BORN EVERY MINUTE
Tuesday February 9,2010
What, When & Where Channel 4, 9pm
It’s a simple enough idea for a fly-on-the-wall series.
Take the cameras to a busy maternity ward (this one’s at Southampton’s
Princess Anne Hospital) and spend a month observing what happens.
But, as we’re soon reminded, no two births are ever the same, and the
programme captures the drama, intensity and emotion of the experience
for all concerned.

JO FROST: Extreme Parental Guidance
Best known to most of us viewers as Supernanny – yes, her of “naughty step” fame – parenting expert Jo Frost is broadening her approach in this new series.
Rather than spending the entire hour trying to discourage a specific toddler from, say, setting fire to his mum’s curtains on a regular basis, she’ll be applying her expertise to a whole range of related topics, including eating disorders, body image, the value of sleep and the way so many kids are getting hooked on computers.
One of the main topics on this opening programme is computer games, with Jo conducting an experiment to measure the effect the more violent examples can have on a child’s behaviour. Elsewhere, she meets a four-year-old whose diet has never included anything but sweets.
