Congrats to our own, yes our very own John Bishop, who has been snapped up for his own prime time BBC show, John Bishop's Britain, which we'll be able to see later this year.

Can't wait to see.

Jon Stewart on Michael Jackson

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 11:23:10 +0000

POOR old bloody Michael Jackson. Concert promoters still trying to make a fast buck off his name, his "last ever" pics gracing the front cover of the shameless OK Magazine, and the rolling news guff - oh my days, the rolling news guff.

ESCHEWING the virtues of Curb Your Enthusiasm on this blog a while ago, I said "by season six of anything in the UK, whatever it is that it is, it stinks". It was a generalism born of the trend for good shows to pack in after two series in a fit of creative pique. Enter the exception to the rule, Peep Show, which just finished up its fifth series, is heading for more, and is as genuinely funny now as it has ever been. To illustrate:
