Guitar Heroes at the BBC 
  I found by accident a BBC4 TV show called "Guitar Heroes at the BBC", there were some interesting songs. But what idiot though it would look good to take all old 4x3 footage, cut top and bottom off, to create faked 16x9, and made the picture quality look REALLY bad. Why can't you just leave 4x3 image in a 16x9 box instead like BBC2's... more »

Shatner on HIGNFY 
  I thought there would be lots of comments about this... I was disappointed - not nearly as good as I was expecting it to be. I won't say that Shatner was pissed but he did seem to be having a lot of trouble reading the autocue. And it's clear that he doesn't mind being the butt of the jokes (as seen in 'Free Enterprise') yet that sort of thing was sadly... more »

BBC News scam 
  I've had my suspicions for some time, but it is now obvious that the BBC no longer send their reporters out into the wide world to get their stories. If anyone saw the sky-dive story on this evening's news, then you should be aware that the whole dive footage was posted on the internet 2 days ago.... more »

Hit and Miss on Sky Atlantic 
  Chloë Sevigny as a pre-op transsexual male to female learns she has an eleven year old son and a ready made family of half-siblings all needing her to be their legal guardian. Which rather cramps her day work as a jobbing hit woman. Quite enjoyed the opening episode, but it's resolutely down beat. No sign of campness or frivolity, just moments... more »

Last nights missing tv programme was... 
  The Restaurant Inspector. It was scheduled to be on Channel 5 at 9pm and they've been running promos for it since the last episode. Switched tv over from Planet Earth Live to find the programme had been changed to a repeat of Cowboy Builders. Soon as I saw it was presented by Dom Littlewood that was a reason not to watch it.... more »
