Sky’s the limit
There seems to be a lot of concern about the ‘Iran stand-off’ these days - which is probably why Sky One has asked Plymouth-based TV-types Twofour to make a documentary about the Beckhams’ move to Los Angeles.
Called, unsurprisingly, The Beckhams Go to Hollywood, the show will be hosted by smirking beanpole Iain Lee (Justin Lee Collins was presumable unavailable).
He’ll pose as the couple’s PA, trying to shut down a store, buy a Bentley and book a table at the Ivy - all at a moment’s notice. What japes.
Twofour will be taking an international version of the programme, which is due to be screened next month, to Cannes, along with a coupla royal documentaries: Young Royal Love, which focuses on the yawn-tastic ’relationship’ between Prince William and Kate Middleton, and Diana: Her Last Ten Days in Pictures.
They’re also making a show about Celebrity Big Brother winner Shilpa Shetty.
Good to know Twofour is managing to avoid lowest-common denomitator fare, ain’t it? Excuse us while we go and slap our foreheads for about an hour.
