The day has finally come for The Model Agency to make its debut on Channel 4 TV and give us all a sneak peek into the working of Premier, one of the world's biggest modelling agencies.  The agency has been home to a number of top names including supermodels such as Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford just to name a few. I'll be here for the next six weeks to chat about the ups and downs of The Model Agency and giving my take on all the the high-lights and low-lights for your reading pleasure!

So with no further adieu: The Model Agency

8:55pm

I've stocked up on Lambrini  and other treats and I'm ready for the show to start. Phones on silent and I'll be totally tuned into this show for the next hour. You should be too!

9:00pm

Show starts off with a preamble about being a model. Apparently they can make up to  £15000 a day... Obviously I am in the wrong profession. If only I met the criteria lol! But i know only  a select few ever make that much money.

9:03pm

Only three minutes gone and it's apparent that Paul the senior booker is going to be the star of this show. This man is TV Gold. A model wannabe calls and he abruptly tells  her "5 foot 5, thats way too short im afraid, Thank You!"

9:04pm

And already Paul gives  us our second golden moment of the show when he describes Diana  as "the model with the pretty face".  Isn't that prerequisite to being a model? Paul quickly points out that thats a silly comment to make in a modelling agency.

9:06 pm

Next booker to be introduced is Annie, the head of the New Faces division. She looks after all the new girls between 15 and 19.  Seems really happy. I think she is going to be "the nice one" on the show. She then introduces two girls, India from  Manchester and Naomi from Colliers Wood. Carol the Director of the agency thinks these two girls have the potential to be huge.

9:11pm

The first crisis happens. India one of the models is sick in New York. Annie seems very surprised that India is getting sick because its "very unlike her". Huh? Do models not get sick?????

9:17pm

Basically, more drama about India being in New York. Now she has decided to quit modelling and return to school. Annie seems really upset  and is driven to the point of tears.... Please could someone give Annie a hug?... or a counsellor?? (lol) The other agents are all engulfed in the problems with India  and it seems to make Annie even more upset. I can foresee more waterworks from Annie in the near future.....

9:24pm

Annie decides to fly to New York to give India a shoulder to lean on, but who's shoulder will Annie lean on?, she's been  bloody crying for most of the episode!  Apparently the drama with India stems from someone in New York telling her that she's fat.... If India is fat then obviously  I must be morbidly obese.

9:30pm

The show is half way through and  we have heard India's name about 5788500 million times. I am thinking they should consider renaming the show "The India Show". I've also heard her name so much that I've been brainwashed into planning a trip to India. Annie is on the phone with India and tells India that "she's having a cry while India cries on the phone"....

9:35pm

We finally see the infamous India  and she tells us that she doesn't know what she wants to do in life and that her brother only figured out what he wanted to do when he was 21. Well unfortunately for India a model's career is half  way through by the times she's 21 so she better make up her mind quickly!

We also see Sadaf, from the Men's board photographing one of the male models. Am I the only one that finds it weird that he is wearing two pairs of underwear?

9:37pm

India's decided to leave New York and is back off to school.

9:38pm

Am I the only one that noticed that when Carol puts on her glasses she transforms from  a sweet, loveable lady into a witch that swears like a pirate and breathes fire. It's uncanny. 

9:40pm

Paul is  back on TV and the real show starts again. Seriously, everything out of his mouth is GOLD. This time he's trying to persuade one of the interns not to get anymore tattoos.  He tells her that if she wants to get a tattoo she should get a steaming dog turd or cobweb tattooed on her face. HAHAHA I can't really see that happening...

9:45pm

We meet Jade, a gorgeous girl that Anthony (the Director of Scouting) scouted at  Thorpe Park (of all places!!!). He tells us about his ability to see a model's "potential". I guess that must make him the modelling industry's version of Nostradamus.

So that brings us to the end week 1 of the Model Agency, Dont forget to check back for week 2 of our "The model agency" live blog!
