To my shame, it was my curiosity to see whether Lenny Henry could act which led me to go and see this production of Othello: under usual circumstances Shakespeare rarely makes it on to my “must-see” list, which I realised anew last night is a foolish oversight on my part. I really enjoyed this: it’s ...

We’re travelling back to the 1970s for this week’s classic theme tune and ITV’s legendary Saturday-morning kids’ show Tiswas. Notorious for its anarchic presentation and slapstick entertainment – with presenters, guests and audience members endlessly getting drenched in water, covered in gunge or be ...

Lenny Henry has some pretty funny routines about this. He weedles his way into places he isn't qualifed to be in: quite literally. I'd put in the one where he takes over the dental practise, but couldn't find it on youtube. And thoroughly unrelated, but still Lenny Henry.

Broadcast Don’t give up Love! You may yet be on the verge of winning something worth having! After all if Lenny Henry can win a Best Newcomer Award after his 35 years in the business – Why can’t you?

I was recently privileged to receive a copy of the first book released by 1701 Press (to my knowledge), a fun little slice of season appropriate enjoyment called The Christmas TV Companion: a Guide to Cult Classics, Strange Specials & Outrageous Oddities by Joanna Wilson.

If Shakespeare was alive today, he would be richer than Simon Cowell. Cowell was named this week as the highest paid man on primetime US TV, raking in $75m (£45m) last year, for his work on American Idol and as creator of America’s Got Talent. That’s not even including his work on UK TV- such as the ...

Businesses spend thousands and sometimes millions of pounds developing and making adverts, yet few ads actually do what they are supposed to – namely persuade people to part with cash to buy the product in question. So its interesting to see some research carried out by Mercury, an arm of TNS WorldP ...
