Last Night's TV: Can't Read, Can't Write Channel, 4
Dragon's Den, BBC2
Not being able to read is, at least as far as I\'m concerned, unimaginable, and since you\'re here, I\'m guessing that you\'re in the same boat, or, to put it more cogently, we\'re reading from the same page. Try spending even a few minutes pretending you can\'t read, and see how far you get. Words beckon at you from every side – the newspaper discarded next to you on the bus or the train, posters, computer screens, television screens, text messages on your mobile, street signs and shop signs and the labels on the sandwiches you buy for lunch. To be unable to read is, in fundamental ways, to be shut out of the world.
