Shrink Rap

Did anyone see the first in the above short series on More 4 last night?

Nope.

The format is Dr Pamela Connolly (nee Stephenson) interviewing a
"celebrity" but with the good doctor in her real life role as a
psychologist. Last night was Sharon Osbourne - I hadn't heard anything
about Mrs Osbourne other than to know she's married to Ozzy and had a
couple of kids (and all that via trailers for their MTV show). I found
it quite interesting in terms of getting some insight into the person
and what had happened to them in their life. There were one or two
moments of resonance with my own feelings / experience.

While I accept it's voyeuristic it seemed to offer a view of the person
and their vulnerabilities that mainstream shows don't get to. Tonight
is Stephen Fry which should be interesting.

I read a review which gave away the "big" point of the Fry
interview long before it aired. How did it come through on-air?
Apparently the interviews are cut down from an original 2-1/2 hours to
avoid anything too close to the bone.

When's it repeated?

Any other views?

I can imagine them thinking of the title first and liking it so much
they decided to build a programme around it.

It's just Radio 4's long-running "In the Psychiatrist's Chair", but with
pictures.

I loved her comedy, but the POS that was the book "Billy" is a sin that
can never, ever be forgiven. What a festering turd of a read that was.
