You have to give some respect to Jo Frost. Why? Well, no-one likes children unless they gave birth to them. Children are all thick and fart on everything. Yet, here’s Frost, actually wanting to hang around with strange children. She actually seems to enjoy the little idiots even when they’re displaying behaviour so appalling that you wonder why no-one ever passed a law that let us kick irritating kids into the sea.

Of course, it’s quite lucrative hanging around with terrible infants, but surely there must come a point in Jo Frost’s life where she just wishes that every child on Earth would either shut-up or piss off somewhere.

Much has been made of the fact that Frost doesn’t have any children of her own, which may go some way to explain why she puts up with them and, more frequently these days, gets it wrong with them.

See, aside from doing marvellously well with a kid that intended to scream her bone-marrow blue when asked to sleep in her own bed, our Jo has clearly been asked to cover ‘issues’.

Those would be those issues that Affect All Parents.

As such, we’ve had Frost looking at the internet and video games and screwing her nose up and thinking out-loud about how our children are in some kind of danger. If she’d been around long enough, I have no doubt in my mind that Chris Morris would’ve had her garbling on that BrassEye.

Last night, we saw our Supernanny talking about childhood obesity. Anyone who has seen Frost will know that there was an elephant in the room. She held up tiny pizzas and the like and told parents not to overfeed their children. If my mum was present with a childhood me, I have no doubt she would’ve muttered “Well, you’re hardly thin are you?”

As cruel as that may seem (I’m from the North so that’s bordering on compliment if you ask me, seeing as it’s quite normal to be called a “c**t” by a best friend asking you to go to the bar) it’s a pertinent point. If you’re going to warn people about overeating, don’t look like you’ve swallowed a couple of pizzas beforehand or else the message is lost in sniping.

Anyway, is this show relevant? Well, watching it, I felt I’d seen it all before. Gone is the ‘naughty step’ and Frost has seemingly learned how to pronounce the word ‘ask’ (previously, she said “Aks”), but these minor improvements don’t make for a new and exciting show.

In essence, if you’ve ever taped an old episode of Supernanny, you’d probably come away with the same information and inspiration. It might be time to put this show to bed Channel 4.
