By far the most hideous aspect of this year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here is the various idents for Iceland that appear around each ad break. They feature a range of party food that looks so disgusting it could easily become the subject of a Bushtucker Trial.
Firstly, what the hell is a [...]

Nice to see someone is daring to divert from the Daily Mail party line over Russell Brand. Unfortunately that someone is… the Daily Sport.
Russell Brand resigned yesterday following thousands of complaints about his Radio 2 show…
But the Daily Sport is backing the long-haired weirdo…Forget all that Political Correctness Shite and BRING BRAND BACK!!!
The byline is Ann [...]

One of the most enlightening pieces of journalism re the Russell Brand/Jonathan Toss incident was when the BBC’s David Sillito solicited the views of people queuing to watch the filming of the Alan Titchmarsh Show and compared them with the views of people queuing to watch Never Mind the Buzzcocks. The former group (old people) [...]

Russell Brand and his pal Jonathan Toss have clearly touched a nerve over this whole “He fucked your granddaughter” business. But let’s get it into perspective. Why is Gordon Brown even thinking about this when real actual stuff is happening in the world? Aren’t we supposed to be on the verge of a global recession [...]

I was intrigued to see in the promo promoting the forthcoming BBC drama schedule (you know, the one with Elbow singing in the background) that Kenneth Branagh is starring as Kurt Wallander in an adaptation of the Henning Mankell books.
I recently discovered the joys of Scandanavian crime fiction, which is a generally magnificent and undiscovered [...]

Comic Sarah Silverman’s apparently disastrous appearance at the Hammersmith Apollo over the weekend proves that if you hype something beyond the level to which its promise can possibly be fulfilled, the risk of it being shit is magnified tenfold.
Thus an appearance on Jonathan Ross and the cover of the Guardian Weekend is not a copper-bottommed [...]

I may have created the impression the other day that I think Robert Peston is a tosser. This wasn’t my intention at all because, notwithstanding his numerous presentational faux pas, I actually deeply admire his ability to get up the noses of the Daily Mail (”Does this man have too much power?”), various bloggers and, [...]

It’s difficult to work out who’s the cheesier - Radio Norwich’s finest Alan Partridge or Oldham station 96.2 The Revolution’s Steve Penk.
The former presenter of ITV’s TV’s Naughtiest Blunders (before he was replaced by, er, a voiceover) Penk has just bought the Revolution, overturning its indie playlist overnight in favour of James Blunt and sparking [...]

I’ve always felt a strange affinity with Noel Edmonds and recently realised I had several things in common with the man. Bad facial hair, diminutive stature, wardrobe full of crap shirts and knitwear, etc.
Now I find out that he shares my view (first expressed in April - like, get with the program, Noel) that the [...]

Peter Kay is coming back with a spoof on TV talent shows with the extraordinary title of Britain’s Got the Pop Factor and Possibly a New Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar on Ice. Enough to fill-up the EPG listing on its own although, of course, no further explanation is really needed.
The first time I really came [...]
