Eamonn (軍の)野営地,陣営s it up in a Bedouin テント. No wonder Ruth's in a strop: CHRISTOPHER STEVENS reviews last night's TV

Eamonn & Ruth Do Dubai

率ing:

Bus Wars

率ing:

The 平易な life 控訴s Eamonn Holmes. When he had to be on 義務 at 夜明け with the news on Sky every day, his 直面する had a haggard, pouchy look.

But he was 若返らせるd on Eamonn & Ruth Do Dubai (C5). Gone were the dark hammocks under his 注目する,もくろむs. His unlined 肌 was plump and scrubbed, with bouncing dimples like a 風刺漫画 baby.

He’s getting camper, too. When we saw him board a 計画(する) to 飛行機で行く first class to the 部隊d Arab 首長国s, he had a mincing spring in his step that was pure John Barrowman. At any moment I 推定する/予想するd him to burst into a medley from Oklahoma.

Eamonn when morose and short-tempered is hard work. Eamonn in a 明言する/公表する of joyous mischief must be exhausting.?

That’s just a guess, though. His doc umentaries with wife Ruth usually 含む enough unscripted moments to give us a 手がかり(を与える) to how exasperated she seems, but this time the banter was ひどく rehearsed.

They went camel-riding over the dunes, and dined in a Bedouin テント, before window-shopping for millionaire tat such as a box of gold-plated 商売/仕事 cards that cost £150,000 per hundred.

After a pretend 列/漕ぐ/騒動, wifey sulked and hubbie plied her with embalmed roses which, the salesman said, would never droop. It was all as unconvincing as the rubbery glow on Eamonn’s forehead.

The 小旅行する guides’ patter wasn’t believable either. Ask anyone in Dubai about their most famous (弁護士の)依頼人s and I’m sure all of them, from the cabbie to the maitre d’, would 特記する/引用する Kylie Minogue, Will Smith and David Beckham.

One fixer who runs a concierge travel service, 素早い行動ing celebs around by ヘリコプター, 追加するd an extra 指名する: former U.S. 大統領 法案 Clinton.?

His documentaries with wife Ruth usually include enough unscripted moments to give us a clue to how exasperated she seems, but this time the banter was heavily rehearsed

He visits Dubai to go ‘sandboarding’, 明らかに.

Eamonn asked casually if Hillary Clinton visited, too, and the man blanched.?

‘No,’ he stuttered, breaking into a muck sweat, ‘she has never been here.’ It was the same look that characters get in Harry Potter movies when Voldemort is について言及するd.

どこかよそで, the 半端物 little 文書の Bus Wars (BBC1) left the (疑いを)晴らす impression that Belfast will never get carried away by Dubai-style bling

They all said they loved their jobs, which is what people tend to tell the cameras when they are desperate to keep in employment regardless of how mundane it is

They all said they loved their 職業s, which is what people tend to tell the cameras when they are desperate to keep in 雇用 関わりなく how mundane it is

When Ruth and Eamonn are on form, they 掴む on such 明らかにする/漏らすing moments and use them to prise away the facade. With its Lamborghini police cars and diamond-studded 超高層ビルs, Dubai is achingly 偽の: it would have been far more 利益/興味ing if we could have glimpsed behind the illusion.

‘I call myself an entrepreneur,’ said coach-小旅行する boss Ben, happily dripping ice cream 負かす/撃墜する his fleece as he waited in the 病弱な 日光 for a party of tourists to board his bus.

Across the road, staff at 競争相手 会社/堅い McComb’s were watching to 確実にする Ben didn’t poach their 顧客s.

HAIRDO OF THE NIGHT

Zoologist Lucy Cooke took a break from midwife 義務s on Amazing Animal Births (ITV) to give Stardust the guinea pig a shampoo and rinse, 加える a blow with the hairdryer.?

Result: One adorable fluffball.

?Mrs McComb was 納得させるd her 小旅行するs were far superior anyway: 示すing the on-board WC and 小型の-fridge 在庫/株d with 瓶/封じ込めるd water, she 誇るd: ‘I think this is as の近くに to five-星/主役にする as it gets.’

We met the ticket-販売人s, some of them with Belfast accents so rich that even the subtitles needed subtitles.?

They all said they loved their 職業s, which is what people tend to tell the cameras when they are desperate to keep in 雇用 関わりなく how mundane it is.

There was a sharp edginess between some of the touts, though we never saw all-out 敵意, just phoney ‘bus wars’.

In the end, the programme didn’t 追加する up to much more than an open-最高の,を越す bus 小旅行する ― it left you wondering why you had bothered.
