Coronation Street: 10 July 2009

If I could be bothered, I would be making a call to Ofcom right now. I can't be the only one, surely, who thinks a warning should have been given before last night's Coronation Street to let us know when to leave the room before Molly and Kevin got it together. This was truly unsettling and I wonder how the national grid coped with the sudden burst of electric being used as people turned kettles on rather than watch this budding love story unfold. This just isn't right and could only be stranger if Sally and Tyrone suddenly took a liking to each other - no, no, no.

Big Brother: Eviction Night, 10 July 2009

Friends in the house looked stunned after the latest evictee name, Kris, was called out and so the story continues. The viewing public get their revenge on the one who has cast himself as 'most popular' of 2009 and he will probably get a good magazine deal telling of his romance. Everyone's a winner, maybe. 

Eastenders: 7 July 2009

Have the scriptwriters taken entire leave of their senses with the Heather-being-pregnant storyline? Her pregnancy as such is of interest, don't get me wrong (and don't then start comparing me unfavourably with Shirley),  but why oh why oh why oh why does it have to be such a negative, miserable experience for her and us? Last night's punchline cum cliffhanger tells it all: Shirley suggested she thinks about having it adopted, and said this immediately after Heather had been waxing lyrical about baby clothes and cots.

On the other side of the square, Phil has been having an affair with Dawn, which is unlikely enough, and on being discovered by Minty Dawn has left to look after her migraine-suffering mother and much put upon Gary believes her. Mm. It may be paranoia, but I can't help thinking these stories are designed to send me screaming to the hills.

Big Brother: Nominations 7 July 2009

Sooo - Charlie, Dogface, Freddie, Marcus and, drum roll please, Kris are all up for eviction this week. The number to call is 09016 16 16 07. You have to trust me on this so don't bother checking - just call. I'll give you one more clue: this vote is for all those who just aren't that keen on practical jokers.

Coronation Street: 6 July 2009

There are still some certainties in life, like death, taxes and knowing not to eat your tea when Casualty is on. The fourth has to be if you cross David Platt you will be hounded out of the street (into prison or hospital - but only if you are a fictional character in Coronation Street). So it's in keeping that he has already lost his cool as well as the plot with Jason who is now in a relationship with Tina, the love of David's life. Even better than seeing him throwing extremely expensive taps in retaliation (worth £60 a go), though, is Gail and her unswerving love for this little prince. Ahh - this could go on and on until he has her dead upstairs on a rocking chair, and he opens a motel, and wears her clothes, and kills someone in a shower.
