Saturday Night’s Alright For Writing – 20th August

Other than Epic Win which we’ve already given a Show Discussion post, there are a coupke of interesting shows this evening – new series of Secret Fortune and The X Factor begin this evening, Celebrity Big Brother continues with its first proper highlights show (apparently Mohummed Al Fayed is dropping in to visit this weekend) and of course it’s the last in the series of Fort Boyard on France 2. You can write about all these and more.

Edit: And I keep forgetting it’s Live Millionaire Soap Star Special tonight and tomorrow.

Whatever you’re doing tonight, have a good one.

I largely suspect everything I said about the pilot is likely to still stand. Basically this is a comical take on You Bet! with added Chicken element. I thought the pilot was highly enjoyable, hopefully it translates well to TV.

Aww, I wish I was going to be able to update this on a proper computer this evening (as it is I’ll probably be playing along on Twitter), but you can leave any comments on the CBB Launch this evening (and also Bit On The Side) here if you want.

Alright, because we often get hits for “who’s on Big Brother”, the roll call is this:

  • Troubled ex-Kitten and Queen of the Jungle Kerry Katona.
  • Troubled US actress and socialite Tara Reid.
  • The hard one from My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding Paddy Doherty.
  • Vajazzle queen from The Only Way is Essex Amy Childs.
  • Paparazzi king and Aussie Dragon Darryn Lyons.
  • Wife of the Speaker of the House of Commons Sally Bercow.
  • Coronation Street and Waterloo Road actor Lucien Laviscount.
  • Baywatch babe and David’s ex-wife Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff.
  • Model Bobby Sabel.
  • Jedward.

 Strong rumours that someone else will be entering the house tonight (writing this on Friday).

Series five! To think David B thought there would only be three series in it.

Anyway, this probably doesn’t need a SD post but we’ll give it one anyway. There were plans to be able to play along with the Connecting Walls online originally although that’s gone a bit quiet. Despite this new Connecting Walls have gone up this afternoon, and if you fancy setting an OFFICIAL online Connecting Wall, you can do that via onlyconnect.tv. Puzzgrid remains avaliable for your unofficial third-best-round needs.
