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.
How terifficly exciting – it’s the new series of Strictly. Bruce and Tess will will still do the live shows on Saturdays, Tess and Claudia Winkleman will do the results shows on Sundays, presumably not clashing with The X Factor.
Tonight’s show isn’t live, in fact it was recorded on Wednesday.
The first live episode goes out Friday 1st October.
19:30, Channel 4: Ultimate Big Brother
21:30, Channel 4: Big Brother: Dermot’s Last Supper
22:00, Channel 4: Davina’s Big Send Off
22:30, Channel 4: Ultimate Big Brother: The Final
23:30, Channel 4: 8 Out of 10 Cats Big Brother Special
Well this is it – the end of Big Brother as we know it. Sons and Daughters, love and laughter, tears of sadness and happiness (and a suicide attempt) all come to a head this evening for the Ultimate Big Brother final.
Here we are, thanks to the plumbers for sorting the highly advanced technical problem out.
Anyway, The Cube is back next Sunday (as in not this one but the next one) (as in the 19th) at 6:45 on ITV1. So there we are.
There is an app for that. At £1.79 there are many worse things you could take a punt on, but get in quick because the price will be going up and then it becomes much more difficult to recommend.
Sorry about the ongoing problems, it’s as much of a pain for me as it is for you I can assure you. Lets try and cheer everyone up with – what else? Some titles from Jeux Sans Frontieres from 1968
No, I have no idea why Team GB are represented as a yapping dog either.
In other news, the line up for Strictly Come Dancing has been announced, and it’s enough of an eye opener for several wags to point out that they appear to have made it a celebrity special:
* Michelle Williams (from Destiny’s Child)
* Anne Widdicombe (politician)
* Jimi Mistry (a mistry to me. Oh, film star apparently)
* Gavin Henson (rugby player, Charlotte Church’s ex-beau, reality show contestant)
* Felicity Kendall (FELICITY KENDALL! Amazing.)
* Matt Baker (Amazing.)
* Patsy Kensit (Amazing.)
* DJ Goldie (DJ)
* Paul Daniels (AMAZING.)
* Peter Shilton (ex-Footballer)
* Pamela Stephenson (ex-Not the Nine O Clock News, psychologist, wife of Billy Conolly. Amazing.)
Also I missed these out earlier, thanks DS:
* Kara Tointon (soap actress)
* Scott Maslen (soap actor)
* Tina O’ Brien (soap actress)
Gavin Henson is also on 71 Degrees North on ITV1 on Saturday night. That will likely confuse old people.
More iPod reviews when the current woes are sorted – I’ve got a lot of things lined up.
The CGI problems are still ongoing (although they are being looked into), but I’m pleased to announce our new iPod Therefore I Am section (up there a bit) and more importantly, our very first review of The Cube.
When the problems are sorted I intend to go round and tidy the presentation up a bit, add captions and that. The review will do in the meantime.
