Guest blog! Nick Johnson! Chris Moyles. A man so smug and unjustifiably self-satisfied that he cannot ejaculate without hearing his own name. Despite his previous attempts at TV - Live with Chris Moyles and The Chris Moyles Show - drawing about 12 viewers, he's been allowed to complete his hat-trick of programmes with his own name in. Chris Moyles Presents a Chris Moyles Production of Chris Moyles' Quiz Night is an all new Channel 4 quiz show. Actually, it's just Chris Moyles Quiz Night, and if the lack of apostrophe doesn't bother you, then frankly you're worse than him.
This three-part miniseries charts chemistry set chef Heston Blumenthal’s appointment to revive moribund restaurant chain Little Chef with his unique inimitable brand of weird food.
Essentially it is a cross between Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares and one of Jamie Oliver’s ‘only I can save Britain’ missions.
Now in its fifth season, Tony Jordan’s slick drama Hustle returns to the BBC. We must admit to a little excitement to see Adrian Lester revive the Mickey ‘Bricks’ Stone character after an absence, and to see the long overdue removal of the So Solid Crew man; clearly we are suckers for BBC trails (well apart from the Life of Riley one obviously).
Love tunnel, fanny, pleasure hole, hairy pie: these are all names for the female-only body part known as the vagina. Now, we’re all aware that some ladies like to sculpt their tits into enormous coconuts for the delight of perverts everywhere. We can accept that. Sometimes we may even like that. Though mostly it does just look a bit silly. Sadly, Sunday night's TV show - The Perfect Vagina - sunk to a new low on how desperate people are to tweak and mould their bodies. Plus it had Lisa Rogers on it, which is never a good sign.
Last night saw the finale of the ever-fantastical BBC spy series, Spooks. If you’ve never seen it before, it is about a group of egotistical clerical officers who take themselves far too seriously, and snoop on baddies from largely non-Christian countries.
In this week’s episode the Israelis airstrike a school located on the Gaza Strip, and while it isn’t really clear why that happened or why it involves the British, it just does. Events do seem to be created on the hoof in this episodic window on the fictional offices of MI5. For instance, the Venezuelans of all people randomly sent a coded message to our boys via the medium of Beethoven’s 7th. This Mighty Boosh-inspired idea was promptly resolved by Adam Carter (Rupert Penry-Jones) and team by replying with Pomp and Circumstance. Perhaps everyone will start sending messages using the songs of Steps instead of texting in future.
