Some things I’ve just discovered/been told:
Another quite boring week:
And at some point I’ll stick up an iPad review of You Don’t Know Jack.
Well after weeks of idle speculation it’s finally here – ITV’s brand new comedy hit sensation (so they’d like you to believe) Sing If You Can (7:20pm ITV1).
It is hosted by Keith Lemon who seems to be able to mention “bang tidy”, but will he be funny without being able to fall back to using “jizz” and “smashing her back doors in” for a cheap laugh? Celebrity Juice posted it’s best figures on Thursday night, will Lemon be able to keep it up for an hour pre-watershed, and will a sizable number of people just see him and click off? And then there’s Stacey Solomon who is lovely but not by any means a decent host. And there’s the games, described by people at the recordings as cheap and crap and you will have to sit through each one twice. The celebrities taking part are *quite* ITV1 and include Jedward (tellingly the ITV TV guide isn’t listing who is on tomorrow’s show).
And yet it’s leading into rating’s behemoth Britain’s Got Talent, and it’s against a failing So You Think You Can Dance? Lemon seems to be in the ascendancy. The advert for it makes it look not too bad.
My head says it’s the next Celebrity Wrestling, my heart has been secretly wavering all week. Which will end up being correct? I’m actually out this evening and will be watching from the comfort of a V+ Box, obviously you aren’t expected to wait with your comments and observations and I’ll read them after I’ve watched the show.
In slightly baffling news, we’ve had confirmation that despite putting out a massive press release saying Miranda Hart is going to be the voice of the Don’t Scare the Hare hare, which I could see working, it’s now Sue Perkins and feels a bit less appealing. What’s THAT all about, eh?
In other news, Penn and Teller: Fool Us records its series 16th-20th May. You can get tickets here.
In other other news this Sunday is a Deepstack Doubler for the BotherSOP, if you’ve never played before but fancy a game feel free to join in, the details are here. HOWEVER you may have some trouble if you’re from the US as there appears to be a major story brewing regarding getting round the illegal online gambling thing. You probably will not have a problem in the UK but the details are there for you to make an informed decision.
Awesome, the iPhone and iPad editions of You Don’t Know Jack, featuring different questions to the recent console release, are now out. Demos (iphone, iPad) are also avaliable, will try and review at the weekend. The demo ‘lite’ versions have different questions to the full games.
If you want to compare scores, you can add me on Game Cent(“re” – Ed): Brig Bother.
Right, if you’ve been following us on Twitter this afternoon you’d have noticed we were all bashing out a new chat show called Font Chat with Russell Grant and Richard Osman (as “the font of all knowledge” – thanks @OfficialBanker) and that the theme tune was going to be that of The Zodiac Game, but with fonts instead of star signs. Brilliant I’m sure you’ll agree. And I was going to put up the theme to The Zodiac Game on here to jog people’s memories.
However sod that, here’s Connections with Sue Robbie.
