On Friday I appeared on the E4 programme 'Big Brother's Little Brother' to talk about the manners and etiquette (or lack it!) in the Big Brother house.
Now in its ninth series, many people in the UK wonder why the Channel 4 bosses re-commission the series year-after-year. Whilst it may, in parts, be puerile reality viewing, if you scratch the surface a bit deeper what you actually have is an experiment in human behavior and social interaction; manners cannot be more relevant when people are put in groups (after all, manners are all about putting people at ease/respect for each other - there is no selfishness in manners or etiquette).
Whilst I was there to highlight pretty obvious areas of bad manners and etiquette, there are some examples of very good manners and civility. Take, for example, the way Rachel comforted Kat after the latter failed to complete a task. Kat was worried it was all her fault (which is wasn't) so Rachel began to reassure her and to PUT HER AT EASE! It was a very touching moment...well, I thought so, anyway.
