A distinct lack of TV excitement

 
Gosh. No TV reviews on this site for ages. Fact is, I just haven’t watched anything worth reviewing for ages. Can’t be bothered with either Jeremy Paxman or the Victorians. Hasn’t TV mined the Victorians enough already? What did the Victorians do for us? Plenty. But I just don’t want to watch any more surveys [...]

Ishoos with Twitter

Don’t get me wrong: I love Twitter. Just like I love Facebook and I don’t see them as mutually exclusive. We have an open relationship. I put my photos etc on Facebook, where I track who my so-called Friends are (a lot of them are colleagues, but it’s all a blur these days). I feed [...]

Edgy? What do you mean, edgy?

With the newspapers still attempting to stir up controversy over presenters like Jonathan Ross, let’s remind ourselves of what edgy actually means. I’m going to try to be quite brief.
A couple of other people are also pondering this subject. Well, loads really. Frank Skinner has made a special edition of Panorama about swearing and has [...]

@Wossy: you were great

So what did we all make of Mr Ross’ return to TV and radio last night and this morning? My highly scientific survey of a cross-section of the British public (one septuagenarian and a few presumably younger folk blogging here) suggests the oldies still don’t like him, the younger crowd still do.
In this new spirit [...]

Jonathan Ross is back

Stand by your beds: Jonathan Ross is back with his BBC 1 Friday Night Show tomorrow night at 10.35pm. And by the time you read this the show will already be in the can, having been pre-recorded (as usual) today, Thursday although at the slightly earlier time of midday.
The BBC made something of the excitement [...]

Random post: search hilarity

One of the more amusing things about writing your own blog is seeing what search terms people have typed into various engines to get to your blog. I need to know who typed “jonathan ross” + “wet the bed” into a search engine TODAY?!
It resulted in two page views, so I’m not complaining. Just asking [...]

Radio 2 needs an energy boost

I really should have something better to do (lots of things, in truth) but once again this weekend I was reminded of what a soulless place Radio 2 is without Jonathan Ross.
I didn’t even bother listening to whoever or whatever is standing in for his Saturday lunchtime show but was forced to listen to some [...]

Just say no to TOGs

I came across this story yesterday, on MailOnline and it’s scared the pants off me.
I’ve been terrified by the Daily Mail before, so that’s not a new experience. But the suggestion that Jonathan Ross might actually, in the real world, be replaced by Terry Wogan on Radio 2 on Saturday mornings is so tremendously discomfiting [...]

What we want now is Ross!

Now I really want to hear from Jonathan Ross. He hasn’t spoken publicly about any of what’s happened since his infamous appearance on Radio 2’s Russell Brand Show on 18 October and he was last on air on his own R2 show on Saturday 25 October.
Does he think he’s been hung out to dry by [...]

Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand, again

So the BBC Trust - that collection of the great and the good who the government appoints to rule the BBC - has today published its conclusions on the famous Russell Brand Show/Jonathan Ross/Andrew Sachs farrago.
In short, the Trust led by affable but somewhat “senior” in age Sir Michael Lyons, has decided that Mr Ross’ [...]
