Admittedly it is sandwiched between boobs and softcore porn shows, and it’s highly likely that you’ll see the 793rd repeat of the Jonathan Ross interview, but Chelsea Lately is the best thing to be on E! since Kathy Griffin did their red carpet coverage of the Golden Globes and told everyone that then nine year [...]

Oh Lily Cole. Bless her M&S contract. She may be a student at Cambridge but she’s still a model at heart. As she proved last night on The Graham Norton Show. Which is rapidly turning into a celebrityJust a Minute/Gladiators style tussle between the hundred or so guests that they squeeze onto the sofa each [...]

The South Bank Show is one of the few television shows (along with BBC Two’s The Culture Show) to look at the arts, in all their forms. One of the great things about it is that you can see the likes of Will Young, Victoria Wood and Coldplay being taken as seriously as people [...]

LAUGHTER! Liz Smith Night, BBC Four, From 9.00pm

SERIOUS! Looking for Dad, BBC Two, 9.00pmFRIVOLOUS! The Graham Norton Show, BBC Two, 7.00pm
We thought we’d just take a moment today to celebrate BBC Two. We like all the telly channels in the world, generally (except, at the moment, ITV1 and their refusal to show the full series of Pushing Daisies but we’re sure we’ll [...]

I see a little silhouetto of a muppet.
Oh dear, what are you on about now? Join the discussion here.
I saw them perform it "live" on GMTV this morning and I nearly spluttered out my tea.
