One of the brains behind Bother’s Bar favourites Banzai! and Hercules has devised a new show for E4 beginning in January.

In My Little Princess, potential suitors will battle it out in comedy physical action games in a medieval setting in an attempt to win the heart of daughters of overprotective fathers.

The final two Princes must duel in a power ballad sing-off.

Might be awful. But knowing who is behind it, it might be awful with a certain glint in its eye. And prog rock in its headphones.

In other news, I’m informed the new series of Fort Boyard: Ultimate Challenge begins on CITV on the 8th December, and Saturdays and Sundays thereafter.

It’s a fairly good I’m a Celeb line-up this year. We are, of course, backing the entertainer and host of 2003 non-hit Judgement Day and surely-about-time-he-fronted-a-massive-quiz-such-as-Avanti-Un-Altro-just-for-example Brian Conley (although we reserve the right to change allegiance to Linda Robson if it doesn’t go well).

Inevitably a few extras will be parachuted in along the way, but the current starting line-up is:

• Ashley Roberts – Pussycat Doll who isn’t Nicole Scherzinger.
• Brian Conley – TV legend.
• Charlie Brooks – Janine Butcher off of Eastenders.
• Colin Baker – Dr Who.
• David Haye – Boxer.
• Eric Bristow – Retired sportsperson.
• Helen Flanagan – Rosie Webster in Coronation Street.
• Hugo Taylor – Made in Chelsea.
• Linda Robson – Jobs for the Girls participant.
• Nadine Dorries – Likely to get lots of Bushtucker Trials.

Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock was also rumoured to be going in – perhaps at a later date? It’s time to smell what The Rock is cooking! Kangaroo testicles, on previous form.

Not much happening that I know of, and not much until 1001 Things You Should Know on Monday. What are we missing?

Word Up! is still going. I get the feeling it might be over in the next few days, so if you haven’t had a guess yet then get in before then. The pot is now £57.

In other news, we’re hoping to “do” some sort of live Schlag den Raab English alternative commentary thing for SdR next Saturday. The problem is we don’t have a clue how to go about it. Does anyone have any advice? Google Hangout? Other? This will be an audio only thing to listen to whilst you watch your dodgy streaming.

TV Cream have done an amusing play along card for Bob’s Full House currently showing on Saturday nights.

I still don’t think the Golden Card is all that as an endgame, though.

In other news, the new Fifty 50 Show is out! And yes! Once again I am a guest (cheap and available). This week we have a chat about all sorts of things, mainly the new shows beginning on Channel 4 afternoons soon, and the career of Phil Spencer of upcoming The ConDom fame, so do check it out.

That’s right ladies and gents, it’s time for a brand new exciting edition of Bother’s Bar’s monthly pub quiz The Line Up.

And this week it’s a Halloween Stroke Guy Fawkes Stroke David vs Goliath Special, as our David (David J Bodycombe) takes on podcasting giant Lewis Murphy (speaking of which, I’m also on Fifty 50 Show tomorrow). Who will win the battle of wits, and will anyone oil the door? And what IS the name of The Machine?

IN OTHER NEWS: Nobody has won Word Up! yet although there have been some reasonable guesses. The prize this evening is £66. so why not have a go?

So obviously it’s the 30th anniversary of Channel 4 today, and we’ve been following TV Cream’s retrospective. It includes a full episode of DFYT from the first series.

But doing some digging there’s also an episode (in six parts) of the Australian show, hosted by comic Tim Ferguson:

And do you know what? Once you get over the slight sense of the Uncanny Valley, it’s really watchable. They’ve very obviously lifted a lot of the ideas and mannerisms and even clothes from the original UK show – Tim Ferguson is effectively Chris Evans if he looked and sounded a bit more like Alexander Armstrong – but there’s just enough localised stuff to keep it interesting. For some reaosn, it went out on Nine live on Tuesday nights (Tuesday!) and was repeated on Saturday mornings.

Some of us were trying to work out on Twitter if Bet on Your Budgie (part four I think) was something we did in the UK or was an Aussie original idea. I have access to lots of series two Toothbrush, but series one is a bit more difficult to research. Anyone?

I can’t believe there’s no examples of the throw-things-out-your-windows game on Youtube.
