There’s no two ways about. Dawn Porter has polarised opinion. Some people think she’s a silly sod mucking about on the box under the guise of journalism whilst others think she’s tackling serious issues with a refreshing amount of fun and curiosity. I find myself in the latter camp, finding Dawn a very pleasant watch indeed. So, she’s gone lesbian and she’s got herself naked… what next?
The clue is in the title… which is Dawn Gets a Baby (BBC Three, Thursday, 9pm). Basically, Dawn goes off in search of the truth about childbirth. What? She’s gonna get up the duff jus’ for a TV show? No. Don’t be daft. Dawn, like a lot of ladies out there, is petrified at the thought of childbirth. There’s pain, stretching delicate bits of your anatomy and the prospect that sex will never be the same again. Not to mention lugging a baby around for 9 months and being rather tired constantly. So, with that, she off to talk to those who know and, she seeks out a first-time mum who will let her witness a birth in the flesh.
