SuperScrimpers: Monday, 8pm, Channel 4 
As students, we try to save a few pounds here and there. However I don’t know if I could go to the same extent that the people on SuperScrimpers have. Let’s just say these people take “the thrill of being thrifty” to the next level; who in their right mind would use half a lemon and some sugar as a hand wash when they could take a trip to Poundland? This show makes me question whether or not I want to be that awkward person in the middle of ASDA buying nearly-off food just so I can save 50p. The only part that I found mildly helpful were the tips on how to ingeniously get salon perfect nails for under a fiver. Whilst I was sceptical about the idea of using paper-hole reinforcers to make French manicures, I have to say I was swayed by how easy (and good) it looked. However, I draw the line at putting talcum powder on my eyelashes to make them thicker. After watching this show, unfortunately, I will not be joining the ranks of the SuperScrimper. I will, however, be utilising some of their tips in order to save some money for extra nights out in Willow.
Noel Fielding’s Luxury Comedy: Thursday, 10pm, E4
Noel Fielding’s Luxury Comedy is a sick and twisted journey into the mind of a doped up mad man. Visually striking, this strange concoction of whimsical storylines and peculiar animations had me strongly questioning whether I had taken some kind of illegal hallucinogen. Set in a weird and wacky alternate universe, Noel Fielding tries slightly too hard to navigate us through his ludicrously psychedelic mind. Hugely disjointed and just plain crazy, it felt like I was trapped inside a five year old’s nightmare. It didn’t really seem to have a plot and Noel’s random and abnormal looking characters
had me baffled rather than laughing out loud; I just didn’t get it. Outlandish and stupid, you’ll either find yourself immersed in the madness hooked on whatever mania incucing narcotic Noel unassumingly slips you, or confused and freaked out at the weirdness of it all. Me? I think it is easy to say that this hefty attempt at foolishness had me wanting to turn off immediately. Those who loved The Mighty Boosh might like this quirky offering from the raven-haired comedian, it’s different, eccentric and darn right weird. Watch with caution.
