Richard Bacon: I’m on Loose Women today. I’m scared.
Richard Arnold: Arrived LA. In smog. For the best. It’s like being shot thru Vaseline. Apple martini in hand. Tasty But who will eat my cherry?
08:43: One eye on the laptop, one eye on the TV. Watching Lorraine run down the morning newspaper. Just spoke of a woman that gave constant twitter updates while giving birth. WHY! I scream.
08:35: Australian TV Ratings now and a little rise for Neighbours which obtained 700,000 viewers to TEN. Home and Away achieved 1.05m on Seven. Nine News and Seven News programmes coming out on top, i think i’ve understood just how much Australia love their news programmes!
08:30 Soap picture of the day is from EastEnders
08:20: So what did you watch on TV last night? The final part of Bouquet of Barbed Wire would have gripped viewers, although I was watching Channel 5’s Paddy and Rory travel around the UK. An enjoyable, interesting programme and I for one hope it does well in the ratings. Now is it just me or has Coronation Street become more exciting over the past week, it seemed to be back on form last night as Gail discovered the truth about Natasha, you just know it’s going to end in disaster.
