Celebrity Big Brother: Day One

It seems to me like there's a lot of borrowing going on in Celebrity Big Brother and it's only day one. La Toya is wearing Michael's face and Davina has resurrected Pete Burn's dead gorilla coat. While we're on the subject, why can't they evoke good memories from the past instead of forcing us to look at these uncomfortable things?

It is far too early to say who might win or who will go out first because as ever I will be proven wrong - ok, I'll put myself on the line one last time and I mean it one last time. To win: the boy from the boy band who will remain nameless until I can remember it but I will have forgotten it again by the time I come to type it. To go first: it's between Tommy and La Toya I reckon (for now, but one of them will probably win it going by my track record).

Emmerdale: 29th December 2008

Not being as green as one is cabbage looking, or something like that, was the motto for the day in soapland yesterday in both Coronation Street and Emmerdale and for knowing that I think the signs are there for me to do other things that don't involve staring at a screen for hours on end. Before this time comes, I must mention Emmerdale and how seasonally uncheery it has been - praise the Lord. One of the major highlights was Victoria holding Shane's cold dead hand under the ice. The saving of the church - for now - was another bonus but this was a little too happy-making for those of us of a negative Christmas disposition. If only Andy could go on a rampage in the next few days, New Year would be so realistic then. Until that time, we have Matthew King's funeral to look forward to and the general demise of what is left of the King family should be good viewing.
