Observer TV Review"The Divine David Presents..." by Barbara Ellen
Just to liven things up a bit, try The Divine David (Channel 4, 12.40am). Face smeared with make-up, eyes popping ghoulishly, the unapologetic ally camp David comes across like a cross between Julian Clary and Marilyn Manson. The 'vibe' is public-access cable with a hint of stream-of-conciousness comic genius. We see David "coughing up furballs", decorating a Christmas tree with meatstuffs ("Quite German, isn't it?") and ranting away about how he has been sexually abused by Santa ("Rearrange the letters and I give you... Satan!"). Ridiculous, but frequently priceless, The Divine David shouldn't be allowed on television, which is precisely why it's so nice to see him there.
