BBC dominates RTS awards

Comments (0)

sircharliebrooker.jpgAuntie BBC completely owned the Royal Television Society 2009 awards last night, taking home nine prizes including best drama series for The Street. Quite right too. However, the biggest shock of the night was Charlie Brooker beating Simon Cowell. Yes, really! And again, quite right too!

Adrian Chiles to puzzled by BBC plans

Comments (0)

adrian-chiles_news_.jpgAdrian Chiles is a miffed man. Apparently, the BBC are under the impression that he's too busy to front The One Show. He says he isn't. Now, he's clearly getting a bit weary and thinking of leaving the show.

skins skins skins.jpgHave you finished going "What the f---?!" at the latest Skins episode yet? For those who haven't watched it yet, I won't spoil the surprise (although, that said, I fear various social networking sites have already done a million spoilers already). Anyway, fans of the show... there's some good news.

harry hill_-TV burp.jpgThis is seriously great news! Harry Hill has signed (a multi-million pound two-year) deal with ITV to make more series of TV Burp and You've Been Framed. This new agreement will see TV Burp on our screens until 2012.

studio 5.jpgI'm not against Ian Wright earning a wage. Everyone is entitled to some cash. However, I am against anything that pays Ian Wright to open his mouth, talk, think or/and offer an opinion. That's one of the (many, many) reasons Live From Studio Five is such a terrible, awful, tawdry programme. However, not according to our Wrighty.

gillianmckAAAARGH.jpgYou know Gillian McKeith don't you? Skreeching, vapid, withered old idiot-bag that ferreted around in people's faecal matter before making them cry using tactics that would make Josef Fritzl blush? Yeah, that's her. The woman who would shout 'YOU'RE DISGUSTING AND FAT' at people whilst pointing at coffin chaped giganto choc ices... a woman who would make widows grieve more whilst stirring giant milk cartons with cow thighs... that Gillian McKeith.

Penny Smith leaves GMTV

penny-smith-.jpgDepending on which reports you read, Penny Smith has either been axed or decided to leave GMTV after 17 years on the show. Some are saying that this move came after a fair amount of speculation as advertising revenues for the show had fallen through the floor and viewers were jumping ship to rival BBC Breakfast.

Alan-Carr1.jpgAlan Carr. You know him right? No, not the guy who wanted you to stop smoking tabs - rather, the comedian who likes to pour glasses of Taboo for unwitting guests whilst making jokes about his own teeth. Yeah, that one. Carr seems to polarise opinion, with some loving the old-time camp schtick, with others endlessly irritated. Well, he's got admiring fans who may well be trying to tempt him away from Channel 4.

KRISTAN_DIGBY.jpgBBC daytime television host Kristian Digby has been found dead at his flat in London today. Police sources have said that the circumstances of the To Buy or Not to Buy presenter's death were "unexplained". He was 32 years old. Digby was pronounced dead at the scene when ambulance services arrived at his flat in East London, this morning. A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "Police were called to reports of a body of a man in his 30s found at an address in Richford Road, E15. Ambulance services attended and life was pronounced extinct. Next of kin were informed and we await formal identification. There will be a post-mortem at 12 noon at East Ham mortuary."

john-lydon-butter.jpgOh! Johnny Rotten Lydon! What an art-school prankster you are! You've made money via things that are deemed to be not credible, but there you are, passing it off as art-school japery! Yep, the former Sex Pistol and PiLhead did I'm a Celebrity and a butter commercial and now he wants to do a documentary on the royal family.

What next for Stacey and Max in Eastenders?

Comments (0)

thenders folk.jpgAfter nearly everyone watched Bradley die of parkour on the Live Eastenders, what's next for those that survive him? Well, soon-to-exit Th'Enders exec Diederick Santer has promised that there are "fascinating" scenes ahead for Stacey and Max Branning. Like what? Something about the baby? A grief shag? A wrongful arrest by Walford cops?

Amanda Holden's Big Top to be axed by BBC?

Comments (0)

holden big top.jpgA while back, Amanda Holden showed uncharacteristic foresight by predicting that her sitcom, Big Top would get battered by critics. She said: "They'll slate it. They'll slate me. They'll say, 'Why is she a talent judge? - She's in this show and she's not talented in it'. But it's fine." Then, she mystifyingly called it a "credit crunch comedy". What? Something made with no money? Something that's supposed to talk us down off the ledge?

Frank Skinner back to the BBC with new show

Comments (0)

frank-skinner_.jpgFrank Skinner is going back to the BBC for the first time in... well... ages! He's going to front new BBC Two show Frank Skinner's Opinionated. In this show, he'll be joined by two comedians to discuss the week's events. The show will be broadcast from a different location around the country each week in front of a studio audience.

jeremy.jpgJeremy Paxman said a naughty word on television last night. Twitter nearly exploded with giddiness. People used the phrase 'dropping the F-bomb', which doesn't really make sense. Anyway, I bet most Newsnight viewers shrugged at the whole thing as Paxo was quoting from Andrew Rawnsley's book, The End of the Party, during an interview with the author. You can see the swear in this article in a video if you're sick of reading words.

glastonbury_fest.jpgThe Glastonbury Festival (or, Pilton Pop Festival if you're local, 'Glasto' if you're a spectacular example of idiocy) is one of the most miserable places on Earth. It's like the forced fun of a house party to the power of a million. Yapping swine dance in the mud and sing along to the most catholic bands on Earth, all the while, thinking that they're sticking it to the man and helping Mother Earth.

DANCING_ON_ICE_16.jpgRemember me ranting about Jason Gardiner, 'judge' from Dancing On Ice? Well, despite pretty much everyone being either angry or weary of the bitchy old dame routine, it seems that nothing will come of Gardiner's really rather grim comments about Sharron Davies which saw her referred to as "faecal matter" on national television.

The story of the Italian TV chef and cat stew

Comments (0)

kitten in saucepan.jpgI'm a Celebrity... may have seen two mildly famous people killing a wild rat and then eating it, leaving ITV to shuffle nervously and stare at their feet whilst they said sorry... but what about Italian chef Giuseppe "Beppe" Bigazzi? Well, he's a TV chef over there and he's caused an almighty ruckus and it all involves cats.
