Yeah, I saw THF. It also said a household is more likely to own two cars than two books.
Then I found the survey they'd clearly got this from and it was 200 couples and they'd found that 23% of couples had both read a book in 6 months vs 26% who owned a car each. It's a leap from that mad, flawed survey to say what the programme said, so take everythign there with a pinch of salt.
That said, it was great when they set fire to a lifetime's supply of farts.
