TV review: Grandma’s House; Louis Theroux – Extreme Love
Grandma’s House is a dark, smart, Jewish comedy – family sitcom for our age Simon Amstell wakes up with another body in his bed – a single airbed because this is grandma’s house and, in fact, Grandma’s House (BBC2). The body, which appears to be alive, belongs to a boy. Simon’s gay! That’s sooo disappointing, though to be honest I had my suspicions (something about the way he has always stated he is). Not disappointing because he is gay – come on, who do you think I am? Disappointing because it means he will never marry Stella Tennant.
