Frankly something now has to be done, because for my mind, if you're going to enter a song contest, you've got to have a chance of winning. And no one in the west now has a chance of winning. I've denied it in the past, but the evidence is now damming.

Being a bit of a keen cook, and someone who likes to do things reasonably properly if possible, I know Delia wasn't really aimed at me. I mean, there's just no way on earth you'll find frozen mashed potato in my freezer.

Whilst sitting down to a nice, homemade green Thai curry last night, we happened to catch the second half of "Eurovision: Your Decision" last night which meant I got to see a strange woman in a corset and an extremely short skirt, Michelle Gayle and Andy Abraham battle it out in front of Terry Wogan sat on a throne in a programme format which was clearly designed to try and stop the UK public from voting for some diabolical crap again.

With the latest series of Doctor Who getting ever closer, news is creeping out about cast and enemies. Like this little one today - according to BBC News, Billie Pipper is popping back for three more episodes.

It's one of those news stories that just makes me shake my head and ask... why? For today I read that Granada are planning on remaking The Prisoner.

I have a TV on my desk. It's usually turned on. Today it was turned on during Neighbours. Today in Neighbours, Sky Mangle meets Harold's new friend. Harold's new friend looks just like Sky's dead mother.

Unbelievably I haven't mentioned Doctor Who yet. This coming from a man whose favourite programme when growing up featured a blue police box and a sonic screwdriver.

Mortals! You defy the Gods? I sentence you to travel among unknown stars. Until you find the Kingdom of Hades, your bodies will stay as lifeless as stone.

Watching it and seeing the processed crap that kids get served at school... well I'm not particularly impressed.

Okay I'll be honest. When it comes to opera... well. And as for flashmobbing... well the phrase 'new media wanker' is what usually springs to mind.. So you can perhaps see why something called 'Flashmob - The Opera', well... might not really work in my mind...

In Ealing Common is a road - it cuts through the common, although is a dead end. Quite often in the morning, there will be a series of film crews and trucks wandering around. But that's nothing in comparison to what is right next door to our new place...

One thing puzzled me whilst watching the excellent Little Britain on BBC Three which ended a few weeks back but iscoming soon to BBC Two - why was it shown without a DOG?

From the Files of Police Squad - one of the best TV programmes, and the one that gave birth to The Naked Gun.

Ali G has a new series set in the USA. Tired or revitalised? Matter of opinion really.
