Why Channel four are so wrong to get rid of raised by wolves.

Raised by wolves a comedy about the Gary family set in the loveliest of places Wolverhampton, written by Caitlin Moran and sister Caroline, based off of they childhood and possibly the best programme that channel four have broadcasted in the past couple of years, and the programme I’ve invested way to much time and effort into since that time I thought I was going to be a lawyer and spent at least three weeks watching law and order for six hours a day convinced it would suddenly make me a lawyer of some sorts.

After this already terrible year of loss heartbreak, brexit and finding out that Davey Cameron the pie would no longer be running this shit show of a country, the news got delivered to me today by my best mate that my favorite show would be axed from channel four after only two series, its safe to say my heart broke just a little bit more, and I’m not sure how much more my heart can take this year. As I tried to absorb this news my mind started to list all the great things that I’ve learned from this programme and Caitlin herself from reading all her books in the short space of two months (again), from Yoko’s love of animals that are more or less exitcnted, to Germaine’s openness about sexuality and literally anything else in the world to Della the women who has the quickest wit and best one liners I think I’ve ever seen in comedy.

To me this programme was so much more than a family of six kids (seven if you include grampy) living pretty much on the poverty line but getting on with it and not caring, of course you could say it was a metaphor for big families that rely on the state welfare and some of the things they have to go though just to keep they heads above water, but in raised by wolves it showed us that there is so much more to life and that things don’t have to be as bad as everyone makes them out to be.  

From the first episode I was hooked, mainly because I seem to be the embedment of Aretha and Germaine as well as Yoko when it comes to her love of animals and her naiveness. And even now I couldn’t give you a reason as to why I was hooked to this programme maybe because it reminded me of myself and my best friend so much because we have the conversations that Aretha and Germaine have, maybe its because my mum can be so much like Della sometimes (minus the five other kids) maybe its because Caitlin and Caroline’s writing is so true and exactly what teenage girls and everyone needs to hear.

But no matter how many times i re watch both series of this and tweet channel four a stupid amount of times begging them to bring it back and persuading them with twenty pounds and a promise of baked goods, Caitlin and Caroline are not wallowing in self pity and saying that’s that for raised by wolves, nope in classic Moran style she is rallying up the next rebel alliance to not let raised by wolves die out and i for one am totally behind her on this.

Poppie's Stranded List.

Poppies’ Stranded List Week three, and another Stranded List, on this week’s stranded list, we have the most emo person I think ive ever met, even though now four years later she tries and disguises it by loving Wolf Alice more than maybe anything ever, however she doesn’t fool me I would say she’s still pretty high up on the emo list, it’s the Alex Turner to my Miles Kane its Poppie. After discovering her Twitter whilst going ham in the You Me At Six tag way back in the joyous year that was 2012, I came across the best @ possibly ever and that was poptw4t (bring back poptw4t I miss her) and from there on we’ve been friends ever since, although we stuck together though both of our emo and extreme Arctic Monkey phrase’s and trust me it was an intense year and a half, we’ve become closer in the past year and a bit over Poppies’ wonderful Tinder adventure’s, our texts over the beauty that is Harry Styles and how his solo’s had given me some kind of heart palpation, and of course ...

Part One Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost review.

Part One Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost review. Oh hello! It’s me your local mushroom, I have returned to my now pretty much-forgotten blog which makes me so very sad, but honestly in the past two months there hasn’t been any spare time to write anything for myself which makes me so sad, because all I ever I want to do is write and make people listen to my insignificant opinions on everything and anything. But finally I have found some time in my mad hectic life to finally write something for myself, between working pretty much full time, doing a degree and trying to have some kind of social life and semi-normal sleeping pattern, I haven’t had a spare second to write anything, that is however until the wonder that is Foals new album came out three days ago, and now I’m about to make you read this delightful little waffle on this beautiful album that I haven’t stopped listening to for the past three days, and to think this is the only first half of the album, boys we are in ...

Why “Reggie Yates Life And Death In Chicago” is so important.

Image
509. People as of July 2016, have been killed this year alone in the us, 123 if these people were black, 13 percent of Americans belong to this ethnic group. Michael Brown was the first black male shot by police that I was aware of, and his death was just over two years ago. You would think that his death would have created such an impact that this would be the last time we saw or heard of anything like this. But it somehow made it worse, the loss of his life seemed to be the start of something, something I thought I would never have to witness. So why is the black lives matter movement, and programmes about police brutality so important and why is an eighteen year old white girl writing about it? Honestly I’m not to sure myself, but I do know I’m angry. I’m angry that its got to this stage, angry that so many people and life’s have already been lost, angry that people are only just realsing how important this movement is, and to use they power and voice to speak out about it, and...
