If you put a group of former prisoners together most of them convicted drug dealers and ask them to run a flower business you wouldn't expect it to be a success but that's exactly what Channel 4 is trying to do in its new series Going Straight (Tuesdays: 9pm).

In its latest reality TV programme Channel 4 is hoping to chart the progress of the prisoners as they are integrated into society.

Why they chose to give them the task of running a florist is quite a mystery I don't think being seen arranging flowers into small bouquets is going to give these cool gangsters' any street cred.

Maybe they chose it because the Great Train Robber Buster' Edwards apparently ended his life of crime running a flower stall at Waterloo Station.

And with the shop name A New Leaf it clearly shows what the programme makers are trying to do.

It started off fairly well in the first episode when they all seemed keen enough to undertake training but that wore off very quickly. When they were given the first real task of putting together floral candle holders for a wedding the next day, some of the team didn't turn up until two in the afternoon and all bar one left before the task was finished.

Now it seemed too good to be true that Clive was being the good samaritan and offering to complete the task so the wedding would have all its floral decorations in place on time.

Maybe he was trying to score some brownie points because he was later grassed up' by one of the other members who claimed he was still involved with drugs and although those running the training were reluctant to believe it he admitted it.

Even before they had got passed the training stage they were already going off the rails.

As the programme went on and they decided on some premises for their florist shop there were so many disagreements and divisions within the group I can't see how they are ever going to be able get their business up and r unning.

After conducting some research on the streets themselves members of the public said they would be interested in buying flowers from a shop run by ex-cons but you felt they couldn't say anything else in front of the cameras.

As the pressure builds the six ex-cons aren't afraid to let their feelings known to each other, which makes for interesting viewing.

After tuning into Coronation Street for the first time in a few weeks I was amazed to see that the love triangle with Dev, Sunita and Maya was still on-going.

I'm not to sure what happened with Leanne and Dev for it to have involved solicitors but I'm not sure who was most stupid Leanne for thinking she could make a bit of cash out of Dev or Maya for thinking she could get her own back on Dev by bringing false accusations of sexual harassment. And whether she succeeds with her more and more desperate acts of revenge I can't be sure but the more extreme her ideas are the less chance she has of getting her way.

It seemed to be a week of stupid acts by members of the Street - not only did we have Jason luring Sarah to bed prompting Todd's departure but the highlight for me was Norris' curiosity with Rula the geriatric wife-swapper.

Although he maintained he wanted an early night, he couldn't go to sleep and was caught listening through Rula's bedroom door only for her to open it leaving him to fall into her bedroom.

It was then a case of being trapped in the spider's web as Norris seemed besotted with Rula and he was saved from being eaten alive by Rita who sussed the situation when Rula's husband had jumped into her bed.

As soon as Rita realised they were into wife-swapping she stormed out taking Norris with her.

Tonight (Wednesday; 7.30pm) Sally's obsession with Oakhill gets too much for Kevin. When she reluctantly agrees to go for a night out to celebrate their wedding anniversary Kevin is not best pleased when he finds she has invited the kids from Oakhill.

Challenging film Also this week ... BBC1 produces an interesting portrait of Gary Hart the anonymous builder who turned into one of Britain's most notorious killers when his Land Rover swerved off the A1 causing the Selby rail crash (One Life Selby BBC1: Tuesday 10.35pm).

As he begins a new life the programme accompanies him for the first three months of his freedom asking the challenging questions that viewers and his victims would want to ask.

The short film also includes interviews with survivors and victims' relatives to understand the devastation and maybe find out why he has never accepted his guilt.
