THAT WAS THE WEEKEND THEN

NOW MINE STARTS.......!
Yes I do like Dancing On Ice as regular readers will know. From the begining I really did think that if a woman was going to win it it would be Lisa Scott Lee and a man Duncan. So what on earth happened on Saturday night.
Duncan put in a faultless performance and scored really well from the judges. Lisa has skated better but it was heaps better than all the other women left in. Good old British public I say!? What went wrong? Both in the skate off! No way!
To make matters just a little worse, Lisa skated better than Duncan in the skate off and still went. Wrong! That's all I can say.
Last in the series of When will I be Famous, the BBC contender for prime time awards. I'd never seen it before but I so hate Graham Norton! The acts on it however were really really good and I was surprised at the talent. Saturday nights winners - Red Hot Chilli Pipers - were tremendous and well deserved to win the money but at least 5 of the acts would have equally deserved the prize.
But my God, the judges! With the possible exception of Dave Spikey, who can be very funny but wasn't on the show. Max Clifford the UK's most hated publicist and W.T.F. is Chuck Harris?!
The only link really between the programmes is for me that I can't really work out who I hate the most, Philip Schofield or Graham Norton! Fortunately the contestants in both make for good Saturday night entertainment and consequently good Monday morning blogging!
Well maybe not so good but hey!

Sunday night's Wild at Heart was superb in every respect. The scripting, always good seems to have improved since the begining of this series and it is an absolute delightful 'feel good' proey. With Amanda Holden of course but doesn't Hayley Mills look good and she could even be AH's mum they look so alike!

Sarah Parish is fantastic in everything she has ever been in, especially Cutting It with the afore mentioned AH. Sunday night's BBC drama 'Recovery' was a well scripted one off play offering a wonderful insight in to mental health issues magnificently played by SP and 'The Doctor', David Tennant. Well done all round especially the writing and directing teams.

As Sunday night turns in to Monday morning, the incredible presentation that is The Oscars starts on Sky. What capable presenters for both programmes, Fern Cotton and Claudia Winkleman from the gorgeous new breed of young female presenters.
