Last night I watched Louis Theroux’s documentary on plastic surgery.

No, the subject of this entry isn’t about the rather ample surgery receptionist Louis interviewed, but about the two middle aged men having their pecs enhanced with implants. As Louis pointed out, they did look like small women’s breasts. I wondered why someone would want to have their body enhanced to look more muscular and “manly” when in fact they were looking more like (bad) transsexuals…

This documentary followed Top Gear which included the three presenters heading off to Southern and Central Europe in search of some great roads and apparently being crap at it. Now this crapness element is getting a tad boring and over-played as it’s in every feature they run. If they’re that incompetent, sack them.

But whilst they were gadding about at 9 mpg they were accompanied by a helicopter for some nice aerial shots. No doubt all of this was paid for by the licence fee, etc. and yet when Louis Theroux wanted £2,500 for plastic surgery as part of his documentary, the BBC wouldn’t pay.
