Well if this weekend wasn’t exciting ENOUGH, Dan Peake sent me a link earlier to videos of every Eurovision Song Contest ever on Youtube.

Enjoy.

What’s Mr Chips doing?

Well?

Catchphrase starts on Sunday.

Meanwhile Emma Willis has been promoted to Big Brother‘s main host. Great work, although as I tended to watch Bit on the Side more than the main show, what’s going to happen with that? Presumably Alice Levine will get more days. Rumours are suggesting Rylan who would be popular but smacks of stunt casting that might bit them on the backside later. We’ll see.

Fifty 50 21

By | April 1, 2013

You know what they say: old news is good news! Well actually they’ve misremembered. Anyway, the episode of Fifty 50 Show due to go out a fortnight ago has finally popped up. In it, Dan Peake talks about appearing on The Common Denominator, and Travis Penery joins host Lewis Murphy to discuss Schlag den Raab and all the HOTTEST two week old gameshow goss.

There’s an extra bit of Dan stuff as well.

We’ll probably think about doing another episode of The Line Up soon.

MEANWHILE! Robot Combat League starts showing on SyFy in the UK from next Monday at 8pm (repeated 10:50pm). Had a chat about the first episode here, but funnily enough despite all the excitement haven’t really gone out of my way to watch other episodes.

I wish *next* week was a long weekend

Easter!!!

Unfortunately not much to talk about. But NEXT weekend is impossibly exciting:

I gather Catchphrase was on Ant and Dec this evening so good cross-promotion. Like the theme tune, don’t like the graphics, think people will otherwise find it basically pleasing albeit with some unnecessariness.

In the meantime WHO WILL WIN THE BATTLE BETWEEN ANT AND DEC AND THE VOICE? One is lazy but also quite funny, the other I have very little interest in. A and D had momentum going into it. I’m usually brilliant, I’m allowed a blind spot. The first person to mention share gets permabarred.

Where will Let’s Get Ready to Rhumble end up in the charts tomorrow?

More questions than answers, there. There’s no BSOP this weekend.

That’s it, really.

Hello I’m Kevin Bacon.

It’s Easter.

Easter eggs.

Geese lay eggs.

The singular form of geese is goose.

The Italian/Spanish word for goose is “oca”.

And somebody’s uploaded lots of episodes of the Spanish version of Il Grande Gioco dell’ Oca, El Gran Juego de la Oca, the original Italian version on Rai Due was required viewing on my television on Friday nights in the early nineties.
