Beauty and the Geek

This program, shown on E4 has got better and better by the week. The basic principle is that seven hot but potentially dizzy women have been paired up with seven geeky men, but it's not a dating show it is a social experiment to see if the two sets of people can teach each other stuff to make themselves better people.

The voiceover is done by one of the guys from Peep Show and is done in a typically toungue in cheek manner. My favourite quote from the beauties so far was from early on in week two when one of the girls said "I've come to realise that just because a boy is a geek it doesn't mean that he is like awful".

Last night's episode was a classic where the girls gave their boys a makeover. The boys, some of whom did look radically different, the had to go to a club and get as many phone numbers as possible from girls. Then later the girls, stripped of their makeup and wearing clothes from a charity shop had to try and get drinks bought for them. Some of the boys did very well and the girls not so well.

Series only has two more episodes left.
