Doctor Jackman is on the run, but he can't escape himself. Waking up in a seaside hotel with his chain around his ankle and its key in a box locked with a combination only he knows, he finds Mr Hyde has been out to play during the night and has decided to teach him a lesson for leaving him restrained. Not only has he not slept the entire night, so Jackman too is exhausted, but there's a message scrawled on the wall in his own blood: "When you sleep I will eat your children." I think Doctor Jackman has finally found a cure for narcolepsy.

This may very well be the most pointless "Set The Video" post I've ever done. I mean honestly, is there anyone in the country who *doesn't* know the season finale of Doctor Who is upon us? But I'm steaming ahead anyway for three perfectly valid reasons...

Today's Daily Mirror contains a few Season Four spoilers for Doctor Who fans. Follow that link for the whole article, or click through below for the edited highlights (like who the new season's companion is going to be, and how many of them, and - finally - when David Tennant has decided to leave), or if you don't want to know anything you could just close your eyes, stick your fingers in your ears and spin three times widdershins and hope you can stay away from all sources of news for the next nine months.

It's time to take TVScoop's hand to wander through the TV listings of the coming weekend. Swerve the garbage and head straight for the cream of the weekend's viewing.

Friday - Big Brother, 8.30pm & 10pm, Channel 4

Come back! Don't walk away! Tonight is a bit of a turkey in the listings, so why not sit back and enjoy some moronic cretin being roundly booed by hundreds of people. Hell, you can even join in at home. Big Brother - truly interactive TV... as in your fist can interact with the screen while you scream foul mouthed abuse at complete strangers! It's the only violence you can join in with that won't get you arrested! Great fun. Failing that, The Big Lebowski is on Film4 at 11.10pm.

Read over for the rest of the weekend's top picks...

Butch boy's fun comes to an end next week, with season 2 of The Unit finishing on Bravo. The action drama, produced by David Mamet stars 24's Dennis Haysbert and Terminator 2's Robert Patrick as top Special Forces operatives who risk their lives in international undercover missions with only their tough, deep voices to protect them in the face of danger. Below is a clip from the finale entitled 'Paradise Lost', which manages to provide a wee taster without giving too much away. Ooh, such manly stuff for a Friday afternoon!

Jesus wept. I've heard some bad ideas for a show in my time (Keith Chegwin being naked in a pretend studio springs to mind) and MTV have seemingly got a prize error-gramme. Frighteningly, people seem to like it.

The show in question is Meet or Delete, the "multi-platform reality show which links young people together through what they share on their computer." Yes. Really. Meet or Delete has been commissioned for a second series starting this September airing on mobile, Internet and TV platforms on MTV channels in Europe, the US and Asia-Pacific.

I like a bit of Project Catwalk/ Runway and can occasionally be found watching one of the many seasons of America’s Next Top Model, but must admit that I’ve never gotten into our British version. I don’t know why. Maybe because many of Britain’s biggest modeling stars seem such arrogant, unpleasant screw-ups - Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell spring to mind, and where once I quite liked Sophie Dahl, found myself disappointed when she traded in individuality for a tinier bum. However, whether I convert or not, Living TV are counting on many numbers of interested girlies and pretty gay boys to tune in to their new season of Britain’s Next Top Model on Monday night.

Living TV promise it to be the “most controversial series yet” which I don’t really understand. Controversy? We are still only talking about a stroppy gaggle of girls learning how to perfect their pout, aren’t we? 12 hopefuls will be fighting it out to become the next champion, but I suspect that like the many singing contests on TV, the televised search is more popular with the masses than the victor’s subsequent career. After all, where are the other Next Top Models? Rubbing shoulders with Gisele or hiding away in the Littlewoods home shopping catalogue? Judging the whole shebang are former model Paula Hamilton, industry veteran Jonathan Phang and Lisa Snowdon. Yes, you read correctly. According to the Living TV website she is a “modeling sensation” (suppressing laughter as I type – focus fingers, work that keyboard), and here I was thinking she was most famous for sleeping with George Clooney and those naff Martini adverts.

I've already shared my concerns about Ready Steady Cook with you (click here to refresh your memory). If you can't even be bothered to click the link I gave you, rest assured that I feel that RSC has gone beyond its Best Before Date. It would seem that someone at the BBC (or Endemol who make the show) agree with me. It needs spicing up. It needs a batch of new ingredients. It needs a writer who will tell you the news without using culinary references (I promise I'll stop).

So with that, the show promises "New chefs, new guests and a new look – a feast of transformations are served at Ready Steady Cook!" By the way, you can't blame me for the "feast" comment as that was in the PR mailout. So what do all these changes mean? Well, read on and find out...

Do you remember the Eighties? Do you!? Aaah! Such a wondrous time of recession, Rubik Cubes, rioting, Cabbage Patch Dolls, keytars and mullets. Madonna and Michael Jackson ruled the raio airwaves and every female fancied Don Johnson from Miami Vice? There's no question that the world lost its penchant for taste in the Eighties, but for nostalgia fiends, it's still worth plundering... and believe or not, some decent TV was made too.

In the second of three one off specials, Fern Britton is joined by a different guest host to present That’s What I Call Television. On July 7th, Matthew Kelly picks his fave TV shows, moments, ads and themes from TV’s golden age of 1979 -1989... I could've done a better job... but I'm not bitter...

Ahhh... My Name Is Earl (Channel 4, Thursday, 10pm) is still funny, still brilliant and still strangely touching. Last night, our unlikely hero decided to cross off number 91 on his karma list ('Made fun of Maggie Lester for having a moustache'). This saw Mr Hickey tracking down Maggie at a carnival where she was performing as a bearded lady.

Of course, with Earl making his way to see a carnival gal, he encountered the rest of the 'freak' show. Of course, this ensured a barrel of laughs... but not in the way you'd think. Earl wouldn't be cruel to people who are different would he? Well, he wouldn't... but Joy would.

It's not often you find a gripping thriller that combines a moving human interest story and is also based, however loosely, on a true story. Val Kilmer excels in this engaging story directed by Michael Apted, which manages to impart a deal of information about native American Indian culture without being preachy or sickly sweet. The high tension is relieved by the occasional wrily humorous moment made even funnier by Kilmer's superb comic timing, but it is the subplot of a "Washington Redskin" coming to terms with his cultural heritage that really makes this a stand-out movie.

Mika Brzezinski of MNSBC is a genius. Why? Well, when faced with leading the news with a story about rake thin horror bag Paris Hilton, she promptly ripped up her story and refused like a horse in the Grand National. Despite her ridiculous-to-spell surname, I want more newsreaders to act up in the face of pointless news articles like this. Saint Mika Brzezinski! Saint her now!

Hot off the news that ITV have re-positioned the failing Tycoon in their schedules, Tough Gig has also faced the chop. The series follows stand-up comedians spending time with unusual groups of people before performing for them. It started with a respectable 2.9 million viewers tuning in to watch as Frank Skinner took on new-age hippies, but when Dara O’Briain faced off with fantasy role-players the numbers were less than one million. The decline continued with Arabella Weir’s contribution as she met with ghost hunters and psychics – could they have predicted that only 838, 000 were going to watch? Three episodes remain of the series, which include Patrick Kielty, Russell Howard and Shaun Williamson, but no confirmation on whether these will ever see the light of day.

I for one quite enjoyed the show. As someone who has faced drunken hecklers as a short spell as a stand-up, I found the concept new and interesting. Frank Skinner liked his crowd, Dara enjoyed hamming it up to his cameraman and Arabella Weir could barely conceal her disdain for those with a paranormal bent. Maybe it’s due to its time slot behind 'Tycoon', maybe people aren’t that interested in the machinations of a stand-up comedy routine, or maybe the comics just weren’t appealing enough. Arabella Weir, by her own admission isn’t a stand-up but a comic actress and Shaun Williamson – come on. If it had been Peter Kay and Eddie Izzard it could have been so very different…

How did you spend the few hours of anarchy that Britain had yesterday? I spent it looting the local shops and shouting "f*ck the pound!" Then I got arrested. You won't have seen me on the news though because a) The BBC prefer to show Wimbledon as opposed to big world news and b) I'm making it up.

What the devil am I talking about? Well, BBC director of news Helen Boaden has had to make something that sounds like an apology to viewers after BBC2 decided to cut away from coverage of Tony Blair's final turn at the despatch box to Sue Barker's preview of the afternoon's tennis at Wimbledon. Yes. A momentous historical event was cut short to show us centre court getting rained on. Brilliant work there Helen.

ITV has dropped Tycoon from its Tuesday, 9pm slot after a second successive week of disastrous ratings. Surprised? Me neither. In fact, in a previous article about this, I signed off with "ITV? P45 is in the post."

The business-based reality show which is fronted and produced by Peter Jones (and is in no way a rip off of the hit BBC show The Apprentice) - debuted last week to 2 million viewers but lost 100,000 on its latest outing last night. The figures are significantly down on ITV1's year-to-date slot average of 4.5 million. The series will return on Monday, July 9 as a 30-minute format for the 10pm slot. An unconfirmed 90-minute drama will now air next Tuesday, July 3.

"Tycoon has been moved into a new slot," confirmed a spokeswoman. "ITV1 has performed very strongly so far in 2007, with some of our best results for three years, and we have taken a commercial decision to protect that performance. Happily we have been able to return the series to a new slot." Tycoon replaces the reality-chat hybrid 24 Hours With..., which will now play out "in the future", the spokeswoman added. [Mof Gimmers]

I've done only gone and done it again. I've ended up watching a property programme... even though I have absolutely no interest in buying a house, looking at someone else buying a house or indeed, the values of houses in various parts of Britain. That said, I could probably feign interest in such a thing as it could feel a bit like nosing around in someone's life. That said, the people that Location, Location, Location (Channel 4, Wednesday, 8pm) find are so infuriating that it makes me think up amazing and violent actions which I couldn't ever hope to share with you on these pages.

Thankfully for LLL (I'm not typing out the word 'location' again), they have a pair of presenters who you can't help but like. They know their stuff, they actually have that old fashion TV thing called 'chemistry' and they get ratty with the idiots thrown their way. Of course, I'm talking about Kirsty Allsop and Phil Spencer.

Channel 4 has licensed the new US comedy series Back to You, for exclusive broadcast in the UK from Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution.

This was announced today by Jeff Ford, Director of Acquisitions, Channel 4 & Film4, and Steve Cornish, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution.

Back to You, one of the highest-profile shows at the Los Angeles Screenings market, stars sitcom veterans Kelsey Grammer (Cheers, Frasier) and Patricia Heaton (Everybody Loves Raymond) as news anchors reunited at a Pittsburgh television station in an attempt to return the newscast to the top of the ratings. Back to You is created, written and executive-produced by Steven Levitan (Frasier) and Christopher Lloyd (Frasier, The Golden Girls).

Ford said: “We are thrilled to continue our commitment to the best of US comedy with the much sought after series Back to You.” Fox’s Steve Cornish stated, “We have high expectations for Back to You and we are very pleased to be working with Four to create a success story.” Read over the jump for a preview of the show... it actually looks pretty good!

I admit it, if there is nothing else on, I will turn to E4 and watch repeats of Friends. I know it’s not the most sophisticated, mature or innovative of sitcoms but before I know what I’m doing, I’m flicking over to E4 and immersing myself in the world of Chandler, Ross and co. I find myself inexplicably relating to the neurotic Monica Geller-Bing, formerly Geller, and so am interested by the news of Courtney Cox-Arquette’s new show to hit the airwaves. Can she hang up her chef’s hat and shed the Monica persona that made her name?
