DRAMA! I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! ITV1, 9pm. So we reach the finale of the ITV celeb-fest. Despite having one of the best line-ups in years, we haven’t seen much of this, mainly because it clashes with other things we prefer. We do hope that, if nothing else, it relaunches Cerys Matthews’ [...]

BACKSTAGE! 30 Rock, Five, 10.50pm This is fast becoming one of our favourite shows, you know. We’ve even managed to coerce our flatmates into getting addicted to it as well, and that almost never happens. So the other week we thought we’d check the ratings to see if it’s as popular across the nation as [...]

DATING! Love Trap, Channel 4, 10.00pm This programme’s a curious one, in that it falls into the category where everyone we know is watching it, but the nation as a whole does not seem to be. At least, last week’s ratings for the show seemed to imply as much. Which is a shame, because the [...]

AGONY! Sex in the 00s: Dear Deidre, Channel 4, 10.00pm There was widespread consternation on the forum yesterday as Becky EXCLUSIVELY REVEALED that Victoria Newton was no longer the editor of the Sun’s Bizarre column. Well, we say “widespread consternation”. Really it was more like “generalised cheer, until we discovered that her replacement looks similarly [...]

TREASONOUS? Monarchy: The Royal Family at Work, BBC1, 8:30pm. VILLAINOUS? Boy A, Channel 4, 9pm. Ooh, expect the Daily Mail and the Dail Express to be all in a lather about this little pair. If they haven’t been so already. We don’t know. We don’t read them. Still, it will be nice for them to [...]

MINOGUE! White Diamond, Channel 4, 8pm. Somewhat inevitably, we missed this when it had its very limited cinema run, so we squeed muchly when we saw a trailer for it on 4 last week. This is a behind the scenes doc filmed on Kylie’s Showgirl Homecoming tour (which,by the way=ace). It covers her recovery from [...]

FLASHY! Strictly Come Dancing, BBC1, 6:10pm TRASHY! The X Factor, ITV1, 6:40pm We’re around the mid-way point of the live shows of each of these, so what are we making of them so far? Here is a recap of the runners and riders and the collective views of the LC community on their chances… In [...]

POSH! Ugly Betty, C4, 9pm For some LC-ers, this is the TV moment that will surpass even The Kylie Show, Any Dream WIll Do and the wonderful reappearance of Dame Clare Devine in Hollyoaks. For others it is simply something that will hopefully brighten up an otherwise fairly dull second series of Ugly Betty. Whatever [...]

LABOURERS! The Street, BBC1, 9.00pm Homoltuous events in Jimmy McGovern’s here’s a typical setting peopled by typical people but with all the different people getting their turn in the dramatic spotlight at some point because people are interesting and these are typical people with typical people’s stories because that’s what good drama’s all about, people, [...]

CURRENT! Charlie Brooker’s Screenwipe, BBC2, 11.50pm Sometimes it’s just all about being in the right place, with the perfect combination of speak and subject. The third episode of the most recent series of Charlie Brooker’s Screenwipe was an in-depth study of television news, in particular the slight ridiculousness of some 24-hour rolling news channels, and [...]
