  1. CW: Celeb Traitors, episode 8

    Tick, tick, tick. There are no more than three murders left in the game, and good traitors would be thinking about who to murder before they cause damage in the final.

    Michael is powerful at the round table, but he's shielded tonight.

    Bash gets heard, though maybe Kenny voting for him will be enough to give a hope Bash could be banished.

    Miranda is a good detective, but could be implicated when Joanne's banished as faithful.

    Romesh has a cast-iron defence for not being a traitor (sniffled all the time yesterday), plus murdering him would throw even more shade on Leigh-Anne. And Romesh is clever.

    Really smart traitors will also ask when is the right moment to throw Acaster under the bus. Could it be tonight?

    More in unlisted posts after i've watched the show, sometime after 9.30.

  2. Five by five on tonight's Top of the Pops:

    * Is this the one where Moby jumps up and down while shouting the title? (Spoiler: no).
    * Girl Thing was an attempt to replicate the success of B*Witched, which was a copycat of the Spice Girls.
    * Sharon Redd invented Rickrolling.
    * Los Lobos perform with all the energy of Chris Lowe and Vince Clarke.
    * A little bit more? BBC4, you spoil us.

    Hosts are pocket rocket Gail Porter, the mighty Jamie Theakston, the hand-some Peter Powell, Sir Simon Bates, Time Lord Gary Davies of Wooton (he's the Omar Sharif of Manchester, dontcha know), and Little Noely.

    That's from 7pm on BBC4 and . Be there, or we'll send David Gray round your house!

  3. ...and that, my friends, is how we got the famous fib

    "Bob Holness played the saxophone on 'Baker Street'".

    Let's play...

    "Ivory" - Skin Up

    'This imploring "Give us an E" prodded jittery droning and bleeping raver is obviously commercial if musically routine,' wrote legendary reviewer James Hamilton in 1991.

    The track had originally been produced as "Blockbuster", inspired by the television quiz; the initial white labels featured a snatch of the theme, and a sample of Bob Holness.

    Central TV, which made the "Blockbusters" telly show, and had the theme music "Quiz wizard", got a bit sniffy and threatened Skin Up with legal action if they didn't change the title and remove snippets.

    All of this came to the attention of the gossip page of the New Musical Express, where staff writer Stuart Maconie had an idea, and wrote something funny. (ctd)

  5. CW: Celeb Traitors, episode 7

    Last week's cliffhanger, involving a potential Murder In Plain Sight, is more intriguing than i thought.

    Can the traitors pull it off? Will they be able to a) do the deed and b) remain undetected?

    I have a suspicion that this is a MIPS too far, and they'll not manage to both kill and remain undetected.

    My recap follows in unlisted replies once i've seen the show, sometime after 9pm.
