Clowns!!

I always thought that clowns were a bit scary, but I never really knew why until I accidentally saw a programme all about them on tv the other night.

It seems that most clowns take up the role because they're either broke and need a quick buck, or they believe that they are actually very funny when actually they're just quite sad. And the really weird bit, is that none of the entertainers on the bbc show seemed to have any interest in actually entertaining children!!

Even the first 2 minutes of it had me with my chin on the floor, and it pretty much stayed that way until it was al finally over.

So, I can at last put to bed this concern that I have an irrational fear of clowns, purely because it appears my fears are well founded after all.

If you didn't see the bbc2 show about entertainers on Monday evening, you HAVE TO watch it on iplayer.
