Dirty Den Jr (Nigel Harman) is joining the cast of the dopey Hotel Babylon. Hmm - didn't he leave Eastenders because he wanted to do more 'serious' work?
LESS public service programming on ITV? Is that possible? Oh, of course it is.
Interesting analysis of daytime telly. As I am possibly the only freelancer in the world who does not turn the TV on during the day, except to watch preview DVDs and then turn it off again (too busy wasting time on the Internet), I'm out of the loop on the current quality of it. Any opinions?
Weirdly, when 24 returns, they will have skipped four years. While the format of the show means they couldn't exactly have Jack Bauer just so happen to have to stay up all day and night exactly once a year, having the series now span a period of 17 years (while having only been on for six so far) is strange. But I suppose having it set in 2017 will mean they can invent more enemies for him to fight.
More oddness, with a scheduling experiment for a new American "microseries".
The US brings back Blankety Blank, for some reason, but with a fairly credible cast of comedians.
