Is anybody else watching One & Other? I keep finding myself wandering back to see who's on there now, and end up watching for hours. Last night I watched a man playing the bassoon for his entire hour.

It's like Big Brother without the wannabees. I'm not watching BB this year because it's become too contrived. I preferred BB when it had just ordinary people in it, being normal, and One & Other is pretty much exactly that. It's really cool.

When I first heard about it I didn't think it was art, but now I'm pretty much convinced it definitely is. Lately I've been having trouble sleeping, but that doesn't seem so bad now there's something to watch in the middle of the night. I'm going to miss it when it's over, and it's only just begun.

Comments:
I read on Twitter that One&Other has been described as "Big Brother for Guardian readers", oh dear, think I may have just pigeon-holed myself quite spectacularly...

Did you see this? I particularly liked 'It's Big Brother: Tate Modern Edition, essentially.'
 
Thanks Willo, no I hadn't seen it. Enjoyed it though. I'm still loving the plinth. It's driving Mattgreen batshit insane :)
