Another embarrassing star spot. This time Emma Watson at Didcot train station, waiting for the train to Oxford (where she’s from fact fans).
I saw her as I was on my way to buy some gum from the shop (mmm, the minty chewy goodness) and thought “Ooh, that’s Emily Watson off the Harry Potter films. [...]

I’ve just been alerted to this TV gem by the folks over on the Digital Spy forums:
Wonderful stuff. Sorry it seems like I’ve got a bit of a GMTV vendetta at the moment but years of watching this comedy debacle of a morning has suddenly got to me. And besides, how can anyone ignore such [...]

“Tony Blair uses YouTube to welcome Australian finance minister,” You think that’s a snappy headline? Yup, last night’s Tycoon saw the timely demise of Tom the paper boy. And about time too. I watched, cringing as he introduced reporters from the Sun, the Mail, the Guardian and the Mirror to his product; a newspaper [...]

It’s a sad state of affairs when the news breaks away from a story on the recent floods that have brought misery and mayhem to the country to focus on Paris feckin Hilton and her release from jail. But this is what the news editor at GMTV decided to do this morning.
On their main [...]

I’m worried about the state of our education sector if BB’s Brian is anything to go by. Anyone who thinks that Shakespeare’s Romeo is “That guy off So Solid Crew, innit,” makes me a tad concerned.
Bless him the poor lad, who evidently “didn’t pay much attention in school,” but then got rather annoyed that [...]

I never thought I’d say this, but my favourite bit of Enders last week featured the not-that-crap-an-actress-after-all Kara Tointon. All week, we’ve been following the rather ludicrous Dawn/May/Rob saga and on Thursday, Dawn went into labour on the tube (as you do). My favourite quote was when she was in the delivery room with [...]

A bit sad to see Seany go. He’d been trying to get on BB for four years, so you’ve got to admire his patience! I’m not really sure why he was voted out. All I can think of to explain it is that all his nu rave mates are currently jumping up and [...]
Posted in Doctor Who, anti-climax on June 23, 2007 | 5 Comments »
Another Who (almost) finale, another anti-climax. Why RTD insists on writing them I’ll never understand. He needs to realise something that Lucas has needed to realise for years - a good director/producer does not a good writer make. It wasn’t that it was terrible. It had its moments. But it wasn’t nearly as good [...]
Posted in Mary Queen Of Shops, fashion, shopping on June 22, 2007 | 3 Comments »
Last night saw the conclusion to one of the best-named series I’ve seen in a while, Mary, Queen Of Shops, where queen of the high street, Mary Portas sets out to save struggling fashion boutiqus (the name only just beat my rather obvious idea: Pret a Portas).
Along the way, a few (mostly male) retailers [...]

And so to Tycoon (Tuesdays, 9pm), ITV’s answer to The Apprentice (or the Chav’s Apprentice if you will) and we’ve got Peter ‘Dragon’s Den’ Jones leading six budding entrepreneurs to hopeful millions. Each has a business idea and it’s Jones’ task to lead them to it, funding their developments as they, er… develop. After ten [...]
