The Secret Millionaire (Channel 4, Monday, 1 March, 9pm) returns to our screens and such is the nature of the show, you invariably know exactly what is going to happen to the point that it’s almost pointless me carrying on. However, the people above me in this media company are prone to beating me with a rubber hose if I don’t give you, dear reader, a certain amount of words per article.
So yeah.
Secret Millionaire. This is the show that sends rich people undercover in deprived areas and hunts out those who are trying to do good in our apparently failing communities. They meet people in tracksuit bottoms and are forced to live off a small budget, which means eating microwaveable lasagnes and looking mournfully out of small windows, contemplating on just how lucky they’ve been in life.
It’s all very warming stuff, even if a little forced.
Entrepreneur Dawn Gibbins is the first rich person to leave behind her glitzy lifestyle in Cheshire to cry and be touched in the run-down areas of Bristol.
She’ll reveal her wealth at the end and people will cry, including me because the show has served to remind me of the time when those above me at TVScoop beat me up because of this rubbish preview.
