Posh doc gets mauling in US

The Victoria Beckham fly-on-the wall documentary that ITV1 will screen tonight (17 July) has been savaged by critics in the US after going out on NBC.

Victoria Beckham: Coming to America charts Posh and Becks' move to California as David takes up a lucrative contract at Major League Soccer club LA Galaxy.

Reviewers in the US have been scathing.

The New York Daily News gave the show "no stars" in its review while The New York Post called it "an orgy of self-indulgence".

The New York Times said: "She does appear to be pleasant and not without a sense of humour. But that isn't quite enough to carry viewers through an hour of house hunting, sunbathing and applying for a driver's licence.

"There has to be something going on behind the scenes because there is no other way to explain so much time and videotape spent on the moving arrangements of Mr Beckham's wife."

ITV1 will air the film tonight at 9pm (17 July). It will be followed in the same slot next week by David Beckham: New Beginnings. The show will feature interviews with the man himself and follows him and his family's arrival in America.
