HER mum and dad are the most famous talk show couple in Britain but now she's going to be in the limelight herself - Richard and Judy's daughter, Chloe Madeley is set to star in the new Dancing on...
I watched the epically long King Kong for the first time on Saturday night on ITV1 and found one aspect to be incredibly annoying. The film itself was better than I imagined it was going to be [notwithstanding the poorly...
CYNTHIA Nixon who played fiery redhead Miranda in Sex and the City is to join the cast of a new ITV1 drama being filmed in New York. Cynthia, 42, who found fame with the SATC series and the recent...

FOR the first time in I don't know how long, ITV 1 had my individed attention from about 7.30pm until 10pm last night - a Saturday night. The return of Britain's Got Talent (now running weekly rather than on consecutive...
In the world of TV reviewing, it's probably not the done thing to suddenly start rabbiting on about a programme which has been around for a couple of decades, isn't particularly taxing and always holds its own in the ratings....
write, or blog, today in defence of Jeremy Kyle. Am I mad? Am I bonkers? AmI admitting that, when not at work, i actually watch this bear baiting, as one rather out-of-touch judge put it this week?...
Beware programmes which people proclaim is 'The new.....' It's a lazy, sloppy way of explaining to someone what a programme is going to be like, and often leads to disappointment. It's also, I suspect, marginally offensive for the programme makers,...
It finally seems to be happening. TV producers have cottoned on to a genre of show which is cheap to make and which people won't get bored of. Yes, hopefully the reality TV genre is going to die quietly, while...
In hindsight, it seems a logical step. Take two successful BBC formats, The Apprentice and Dragons' Den, mix them together into a hybrid reality TV show, and what what you got? Tycoon (ITV 1, 9pm). Self-made millionaire Peter Jones, who...
The voiceover on the trailer for The Time Of Your Life (ITV 1, 9pm) makes the statement: Imagine not realising George Michael was Gay (having gone into a coma in the 1980s and only woken up in 2007). Now, I...
Britain's Got Talent picked its winner last night. In the haze of an early-evening hangover thanks to my Godson's christening earlier in the day, I feared that Britain was going to get Bessie. In fact, at one point I was...
