A rather dull & uneventful week...

As it says on the can, it's been an uneventful week, with not much happening.
It is good, however, to see Bruce Forsyth back on Strictly Come Dancing - what a great show, and a total complement to Simon Cowell's X Factor on Saturday night!! TV has never been so.... entertaining!!


At 116 years of age, Brucie is one of TV's oldest presenters, and some say, one of the most loved. Sadly, his jokes are just as old as he is - and so many of them fall flatter than a steam-rollered pancake on the flattest day of the decade. It's just embarrassing to see the jokes fail.... the tumbleweed of silence go drifting across the studio floor.. and the hilarious fake laugh of the judges, and then audience as the Floor Manager saves the day... and tells every one to laugh.

Poor Brucie.


I love the judges... Friendly Len, always keen to give someone a reassuring comment & a second chance, even if they're as lame on the dancefloor as a centipede with piles. My favorirte has to be Craig Revel-Horwood... Totally acidic, and with a manner to wither even the proudest performer.

As for X Factor... Simon rules for sure, even though he does pull his trousers up almost as far as his eyebrows. I loike d the (pathetic) Michael Jackson contestant - who thought he was a million dollars, but who was really yesterday's cold chips; and totally deluded!

As for me... Magners tonight... Indian meal in Penarth tomorrow... drive some where on Sunday... and we all know what Monday brings!!

Torchwood is supposed to be back soon - but as suspected, only for a run of 5 shows, over a one week period. Sort of like a full-on Torchwood week, I guess.If this goes well - maybe we'll get a new 13 part series in 2009 / 2010, to coincide with the full return of Doctor Who - but who knows for sure.

Watch this space - I'll post as soon as I know!!

Have a nice weekend!
