No, not him!

The latest attempt

 The BBC has announced that a team headed by popular singer Dua Lips will choose the UK entry for next year's Eurovision song contest. Will it do any better than this year effort remains to be seen.

Back to Jersey

 The BBC have released hundreds of photos detailing the making of Bergerac. The show that makes John Nettles a household name and sparked a tourism boom on the island of Jersey. An early episode of the show has been and will shown at a special screening.

Watch your back Jack

 This year saw Line of Duty post the highest ratings for a drama since 1999. The show that had that Honour was A Touch of Frost. This rather ironic as the main characters in Line of Duty would probley investigate D I Jack Frost for his methods which includes planting evidence.

A new start

 Tonight's run of Top of the Pops repeats reaches a bit of milestone. It marks the end when Radio One DJs were used as the main pool for presenters. For the next 2 and a half years the show was presented by unknowns.  But the DJs returned taking turns with celebs.

Victor's back from the grave

 Tonight on BBC4 a repeat run of One Foot in the Grave starts. Starring Richard Wilson as forcibly retired Victor Meldrew. Each episode sees Victor rail against the modern world while his long suffering wife Margaret (played by Annette Crosbie) listens on. Featuring scenes of surreal humour such as a lorry load of garden gnomes being machine gunned. But also rather grim moments like Victor seeing care home residents being abused by the staff. The show ran for ten years from 1990 picking up many awards along the way tonight you can remind yourself why.

Bradley overload

 Tonight Bradley Walsh will be on BBC1 and ITV at the same time. For the former he will be presenting an New version of Blankty Blank and while for the latter he will be presenting The Chase spin off Beat the Chasers. And there is more Bradley to come as he stars in an new version of The Darling Buds of May entitled The Larkins.

Because of Jeremy?

 Next Monday will see quiz show Eggheads move to Channel 5. Though you have to ask why as in it's last few years on BBC2 have seen flagging ratings. Is it because Eggheads host Jeremy Vine also Channel 5's morning  discussion show.
