When producers let a bunch of 'ordinary' people try to make entertainment, some fascinating reflections of society occur

‘There are conversations and interactions that for the first time in a while, truly feel like reflections of Britain’ that feels weirdly refreshing. Yes, I did use that word in relation to a 20-plus-year-old show where the words “wine bottle” and “would you like me to be the cat” don’t exactly make for fuzzy memories. But that’s not the point, really.Yes, much of it is still produced within an inch of its life. Yes, the contestants are painfully aware of the cameras.

The conversations have genuinely been enlightening, particularly those headed by Trish – the self-described feminist, immigrant lefty – whose penchant for parsing the sort of topics that opportunist pundits and right-leaning white folk call “woke” is already rubbing up some other contestants the wrong way. But even those protests against “deep” chats are interesting in themselves.

Yinrun’s experiences also exemplify the patronising nature of many Brits who don’t ordinarily interact with people whose first language isn’t English, or indeed East Asian people, with some contestants infantilising her when she does routine things, or avoiding her altogether, particularly at the start of the show. In all of these cases, none of the women have explicitly said what’s happening to them – but to many of us, it’s clear as day.
