Wonderfully dressed to match the red carpet and fantastically tall, comedienne Miranda Hart talks about the success of her comedy programme, Miranda, and how she was inspired by Morecambe and Wise.
Nominated for two awards – Female Performance in a Comedy Programme and Situation Comedy – she lost out to Rebecca Front and The Thick of It in both categories. Nevermind, there’s always next year.
Have you heard the news that a new CGI film of Snoopy is in the works? It will be called You Left Your Facebook Open Charlie Brown! Chuck will be voiced by Ricky Gervais and Snoopy – now talking – will be voiced by Jack Black. However, one role up for grabs will be that of The Teacher. Previously, the teacher was soundtracked by a muted trumpet, but leaked footage from Pixar has revealed that the studio cat is up for the role. See the audition tape below.
Heroes has been struggling of late (check the news that Bryan Fuller, the man credited for its improvements last series, has now left the show), so it’s clear that the producers of the show are going a bit Twin Peaks and going for the surreal angle. So here’s a sneaky peaky which has obviously been leaked because it’s clearly true, of Sylar (Zachary Quinto) falling flat on his face with a dog, a giant pork chop and a butcher covered in blood. New characters in the next series? What an exclusive this is!
News just in: “There is another BB next year. I am presenting it.” And so spake Davina McCall on her Twitter account, casually tossed in amongst some chat about a sports day she attended with her kids. Now, I’m not sure if she’s supposed to be telling everyone or not… these things are usually kept pretty secret until the last minute… but there it is. Hell, by the time you read this, she may well have deleted it. We can be pretty certain that 2010 will see Big Brother 11 hitting our screens. I for one am quite surprised at this as BB10 has completely failed to set the world alight. It’s not clear whether it will be a Celebrity Big Brother or Big Brother Hijack (the latter seems incredibly unlikely) but the news for now is that we haven’t seen the last of the Big Brother franchise. What are your views on it? Should next year be the last?
Scientists at Cambridge University had developed a machine – called The Intercraniagramme – which can read and transmit what is going on in someone’s head. A thought broadcaster if you will. With that, Dr Roman Clef recorded the collective thoughts of those that run ITV and the video below shows his findings. Dr Clef said: “I both thrilled and disturbed… very much like David Pleat’s football analysis.”
Okay. I’m going to be a sycophantic fanboy for a moment. Allow me this moment… but… IT LOOKS LIKE CHARLIE BROOKER HAS A NEW SHOW IMMINENT! Okay. Calm down. Breathe. Basically, I’m saying all this on the strength of the most flimsy evidence… evidence that may well indeed get Charlie Brooker in trouble. Brooker has Tweeted this: “Worst videogame bosses ever? Email yr suggestions to gameswipe at zeppotron dot com. Make what you will of that email address.” It certainly seems like there’s a new show afoot, obviously looking at videogames. Of course, it may only be in pilot stage at the moment, but I think I should be (a lone) voice in the thicket yelling:A NEW CHARLIE BROOKER SHOW? YES PLEASE TV BOSSES!
There’s a row surrounding the Eurovision Song Contest. There’s cries of ‘no fun’, unfair play, sour grapes, political voting… and now, the UK could lose its guaranteed place in the Eurovision Song Contest final following criticism that the event is becoming increasingly biased against western European countries.
After seeing the opening credits from Holly and Fearne Go Dating the other night, Godzilla decided to reclaim the city that he feels his rightfully his! Kill Godzilla! Kill! Get Godzuki and Mothra in on it too!
Kim and Aggie are wonderful, warm human beings. However, in this never before seen before ever footage, a house is blown up when our fave cleaning gals admit defeat. Who knows what horrors met them inside, but boy, it must have been bad. Do not cross Kim and Aggie.
Now I know you’re probably too excited by the prospect of spending the entire evening in your local bookstore dressed up as Professor McGoneandunnitagen with your broomstick between your legs waiting with bated breath for midnight to roll round so you can get your hands on the last Harry Potter book to be reading this, but it turns out that after ten years of writing, untold millions of books sold (and millions of pounds earned) and with several “most successful movie opening” records under her belt, all JK Rowling was really after all this time was a gold Blue Peter badge.
And she’ll get one this afternoon at 4.30pm, as she appears on the show in her second BBC interview this month. “You have no idea what that means,” the multi-millionaire author trills, “Thank you very, very much.” Watch out for more Rowling interviews in the coming weeks. She’s said in the past she didn’t like talking about the books while they were “ongoing.” Now she’s finished, she’ll be popping up everywhere, mark my words.
