Overview.

I know, like me, you were probably wondering what would fill the great Steps Reunion sized hole in your life. Well, I tried The Jo Whiley Music show on Sky Arts 1. I was kind of hoping it would be a Steps special, but I was out of luck. Instead we had Noel Gallagher, Julian Lennon and Ricky Wilson from the Kaiser Chiefs. It proved uncomfortable viewing as Jo aimed nearly every question at Noel, seeming to ignore Julian Lennon and Ricky Wilson from the Kaiser Chiefs. I don't know if this was just how the show was edited But what was the point? They might as well just have had Noel in the studio, he's always good value, and it would have saved the 'what am I doing here?' looks of Julian Lennon and Ricky Wilson from the Kaiser Chiefs.

What a joy it was to see Ian Hislop and Paul Merton team up to tear someone apart in Have I Got News For You. It happens all too rarely, so when it does, it's essential viewing. The recipient was Louise Mensch, as her crazy views were attacked from different stand points and different angles, It was like a blood sport. It was obviously getting to her, because Louise had that fixed grin on her face. I suppose it is either that or storm off the show.

It is a shame Terra Nova hasn't got the same bite, as it slowly gets worse with each passing instalment. This week we got the, Newt like, scruffy little feral girl episode. But she was won over by the love of the, getting sicklier by the minute, Shannon's. Imagine how great this show would be if it had taken its lead from The Walking Dead and not The Waltons. Can't wait until they all become breakfast for a T Rex.
Let's face it, no one does natural disasters quite like Home and Away. The week long storm brought much mayhem, but only got rid of one minor, make that very minor, character Tegan. All the action and tension of Summer Bay being torn apart was rivalled by Neighbours where they painted a history wall. Gripping stuff I think you'll agree.

On the forthcoming attractions front Misfits returns this week. Will this be the series it falls apart? Let's hope not.
