Okay, another bit of a gap in blogging, and another catch up!
Pregnancy wise, Beth has been back and forth to the hospital several times over the past couple of weeks with stuff related to the gestational diabetes. The dietary stuff didn’t overly work – indeed her blood sugar seems to go all over the place [...]

So as one high-profile reality show draws to a close, with the Apprentice being announced next week, another, Big Brother, began it’s ninth run this week. Once again, The Times Online is blogging about the whole thing, which as before is an entertaining read, and if you don’t want to watch the whole thing is [...]

This video has been viewed 9,800 times, rated 122 times and favourited 140 times in just about a day (was released for door fourteen of the Doctor Who Advent Calendar).

Anyone would think that people were excited about this or something…

Big Brother 8 has kicked off, netting Channel 4 a 6.2 million average audience last night. The twist this year is that all the eleven initial housemates are women…
For a straightforward run-down of the first housemates head over to the BBC. Alternatively, The Times is once again providing a service to those who want [...]

So the most controversial series of Big Brother ever, the ultimate in car crash TV, was beaten in the ratings by a real life car crash – the return of Top Gear, complete with exclusive footage of the crash that nearly took the life of Richard Hammond.
Thanks to the wonders of Sky+, we watched both, [...]

Not surprisingly, as the first Sunday after Jade was evicted, we have more of the fallout from the events of the last week. Chief among them is the News of the World Exclusive, that main feature of this is ‘Jade on Trial‘ where they give her a surprisingly detailed questioning over all the controversial comments [...]

So not unsurprisingly, Jade has been evicted from Celebrity Big Brother. This Week, the late night current affairs programme, discussed the whole issue, and at one point the comment was made that if they were in Gordon Browns office today they would be frantically calling the number to evict Jade as all over the world [...]

So Jade seems to think that referring to Shilpa Shetty as Shilpa Poppadom was acceptable…
I’m absolutely speechless…
Having said that, although Shilpa has been showing a good deal of grace throughout all of what has happened, on one of the rare occasions she has actually got angry, she did give us one of the best [...]

So little did I think when I commented at the weekend on the attitude of of Jo, Danielle and Jade towards Shilpa in Celebrity Big Brother, that events would go quite the way they have.
As of tonight, Celebrity Big Brother has produced 21,000 complaints – still a long way short of the number who [...]

So after a third celebrity walkout from Big Brother this time around, I’m left wondering whether any of the celebs actually bothered to look at tapes of the series before they went in, or read their contracts.
I’ve just watched the latest highlights show, which includes the actual walkout, with Leo Sayer storming out by [...]

This news story raised a smile. Apparently the producers of Celebrity Big Brother contacted the office of the Archbishop of York to ask whether John Sentamu would be willing to appear on the show.
It is perhaps a mark of quite how much he has registered with the public over the year since he was installed [...]

So Robin Hood has been given a second series – which we were slightly surprised at. There have been some seriously groan inducing moments (the I Shot the Sheriff joke in episode three being particularly bad), and some decidedly modern looking costumes at times. Having said that, I doubt that this is really a concern. [...]

So last night Big Brother came to an end for another year. Davina McCall managed to make it through too, despite being due to give birth in three weeks.
Thanks to the Sky+ we probably saw a lot more of this series than in previous years, although like most people we were pretty sure from the [...]

So it seems that we didn’t need to vote quite so many times for Sezer as we did… As anybody who saw tonight’s Big Brother, we weren’t alone in wanting him out, in fact a record-breaking proportion of the audience – 91.6% – wanted him out too… But then Beth was really determined. The combination [...]

Ok, I confess it, I’ve got the Big Brother highlights show set up on the Sky+… I guess I should insert some pitiful excuse as to why I’ve got the daddy of all the car crash TV reality shows set up to record, but I won’t bother – it’s just one of these shows that [...]
