… it’s Series 3, Celebrity Episode 1 (of 2) of Total Wipeout tomorrow.
Other things this weekend: Schlag den Raab, new series of The Cube starting Sunday (look out for Show Discussion posts for those two), The INTERACTIVE Board of Excitement AND! one OR MAYBE TWO App reviews.
Well, The EXTREME Games. Well, Famous and Fearless at any rate. Broadcast suggest 12 celebrities will be doing things like monster truck racing, skydiving and the like for two hours a night live across a week on Channel 4 with the best celebrities winning money for local community projects in their home town.
The Games was, of course, smashing. But this is a Princess Production rather than Endemol, so who knows what’ll happen.
Channel 4 are also doing a show called Four Rooms, which is being billed as Antiques Roadshow meets Deal or No Deal. People sell items and they get offers one by one by people in some rooms, once you reject an offer there’s no going back. Fascinating.
Potentially some very exciting news – you may have heard new BSkyB acquisitions Bravo and Channel One are getting the axe. Well, apparently the Channel One spot on Freeview will be taken up by Challenge.
Will this mean they’re going to put a bit of effort into their programming now, which they haven’t done for a while? Exciting times.
I am, as it turns out, immensely busy for much of this week 🙁
So because I’m not sure I’m going to be able to keep up, here’s a place to have a chat. About things.
Oh that’s interesting, just did some research on 71 Degrees North, a) it’s been running in Norway since 1999 (71 Grader Nord), and b) there was a US version called No Boundaries, seemingly in 2002, except they went through Canada rarher than Norway. Anyone?
I think there is some quite exciting stuff on this week, but in actual fact I’m about to go to Shropshire for the weekend and forgot to put this in until the very last minute. Um.
Anyway I’ll be back later today by the time you read this, so what’s exciting between now and next Saturday?
Edit: The results are in, and the spelling mistakes have been corrected.
So there we are. And YES! Some more iPad reviews when a) I have time and b) when I can sort a teeny site problem out.
Two new series on ITV1 tonight, one a returning favourite, the other a new reality show that’s big in Norway.
All Star Family Fortunes this evening features Keith Duffy vs Jenny McAlpine. So when is that follow-up to The Door coming, then? This is one of the few shows this evening Gavin Henson is not a contestant on.
Perhaps more interestingly, 71 Degrees North challenges celebs to trek across the tundra to Europe’s most northerly point doing challenges to earn warmth and immunity along the way. Expect lots of challenges involving being very cold. Gethin Jones and Kate Thornton host.
