Being a Child Of The 80s™I grew up with Jeremy Beadle’s ‘Beadle’s About’, ‘Game For A Laugh’ and ‘You’ve Been Framed’ (this was back then YBF was actually good, ladies and gents). Looking at his biography on Wiki (so pinches of salt taken) you realise just how much of a successful innovator he was:

Quite a bit of coverage last week on Dani Graves and his girlfriend/pet Tasha Maltby. The couple even appeared on LK Today with Lorraine Kelly today.
All I want to say on the matter of their relationship is that if it suits them then fine. She seems happy with it (in fact if reports are [...]

Had a few emails from peeps over the last week asking why I haven’t yet commented on the new series of Torchwood. Well, last week I was off galavanting around London with film directors and simply didn’t have the time (dahhrlink!). Watched last night and… *gag* I hate to say it but *heave* It wasn’t [...]

When the press release came through for last night’s Supersize vs Superskinny (yes, there is *some* degree of planning in all this, however unlikely it seems) I thought it was a joke. The premise: take one heffer and one skinny minny, swap their diets and see what happens. Hmmm… “What do they *think* would happen?” [...]

- Why would Shabnam, who was reprimanded just before Xmas for going to R&Rs, suddenly be allowed to go for work reasons?
- Why would Minty and Gus suddenly become best friends with Billy and Honey in order to play twister with them in Pat’s house (a creepy scene if ever there was one)?

Dear HR,
I’m writing with regard to the new management at Walford club ‘R&R’ (London, E20) and a few issues I have been made aware of concerning certain staffing issues.
It has come to my attention that some of these may be in breach of the law (and certainly contracts of some individuals).
I list them below [...]

…And finally, there’s a fabulous review of last night’s News At Ten’s terrible return here. Says precisely what I’d’ve said, except more eloquently, like, innit…

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who watch Lost and those who don’t.
If you’re looking forward to the eight-episode run due this Feb and fancy a quick re-cap, or if you’ve never got into Lost because you can’t be arsed getting thru it all, then fear not. Here’s Lost episodes 1-3 [...]

With the writer’s strike in the US still affecting my television viewing (Heroes has taken an early season break, No Ugly Betty…) it’s fantastic to come across a stunning little ditty in the form of Reaper. Due on E4 soon, the series is about a 21-year-old everyman, Sam who (on his 21st birthday) finds out [...]

Dancing on Ice, the most tricky of the celebrity talent show (in that it’s Dancing. On Ice!), returned over the weekend with a slightly new theme, on a new day, with a new judge and new celebs (and I’m sure there were more of them this time…)
Some things have stayed the same – Pip Schofield [...]
