    • Imagery relating to C4 bucking the trend, more factual content…

      The BBC’s recently chosen to ditch factual content in favour of more budget friendly reality shows but, fortunately, Channel 4 has stepped into the breach. Unveiling their winter line up, they announced their intend to load up their 9pm slots with factual content, starting in January with a gluten of food related shows.

      January will see some heavyweight personalities hitting our screens, including Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall with Hugh’s Chicken Run, Jamie Oliver with Jamie’s Fowl Dinners and Gordon Ramsay with Cook-a-Long-a-Gordon Live. The shows are hopefully going to encourage people to think before they eat.

      Later on in the year, Stephen Hawking will present Stephen Hawking: Master of the Universe, a two-part series analysing our understanding of the Universe. We’ll be treated to a revisit of 2005’s Big Art Project and experience the delight’s Alan Carr’s first solo attempt with Alan Carr’s Celebrity Ding Dong.

      Unfortunately we’ve not been ridded of all reality-rubbish, while Celebrity Big Brother won’t be returning it’s been replaced by Celebrity Hijack which will be keeping Dermot O’Leary in work :(

      2008 looks set to be an interesting year and with the BBC languising on the verge of bankruptcy (maybe a little overstated), it’s time for the other broadcasters to challenge their monopoly!

    • StarNewsOnline has some early screen grabs from One Tree Hill season 5, interesting stuff!

      The child in the pictures is Hayleigh and Nathan’s son (the one she was pregnant with at the end of season 4). The production crew has done a pretty good job of making the characters 4 years older (when they’re not even 1 year older in real-life). Hayleigh looks the most aged to me, but I think that’s just her bad dress sence. Lucas’ lame attempt at a beard hasn’t really made him look any older and Antwon basically looks the same as before.

      Someone really needs to sort Mouth’s hair out, they can’t broadcast a show with him looking like that!

    • Imagery relating to Blaspheming BBC

      It appears I’ve been under an illusion for most of my life, I was always lead to believe that Britain was a multi-cultural society… But apparently nay!

      Stephen Green (Christian Voice) has chosen to appeal the decision of a judge not to allow him to pursue a case against BBC for airing Jerry Springer - The Opera in 2005. Stephen Green is aiming to sue the BBC based on Christian blasphemy laws. The show depicted Jesus in a number of negative ways, including a little bit gay and in Green’s own words the perv in a nappy.

      I find this absolutely ridiculous! There was a big deal made about this show before it aired, so why the hell would a Christian actually watch it, knowing they would probably be offended? Also, why are Christian laws still in existence? Christians are no longer the driving force in Britain, they should not be able to dictate the law and infringe freedom of speech.

      At the end of the day, by suing the BBC he’s only suing the British public, I sincerely hope this case gets thrown out straight away!
