Buzzcocks was basically poo poo, yes. Why was everyone in such a massive rush?

Because the Hoff took. Forever. To read (hahahaha oh this is a good one).

I think that's the first episode of buzzcocks that I've not enjoyed a single part of. Oh well :(

Completely this. Alas :(

There are sometimes some really wonderful things on the telly late at night, aren't there? Better than the rubbish that's on during the day.

I'm sitting up with a teething baby and watching "A Matter of Life and Death" on Film 4. Achingly beautiful, silly and romantic, and terribly British.

Final of the Great British Bake Off tonight, the Guardian and Independent both have articles about it today. I'm struggling to know who I want to win out of Mary-Anne or Janet.

Mary-Anne! Mary-Anne!

Also, holy hell, last weeks' episode got 4 million viewers. That's a heck of a lot of people watching Jos' croquembouche collapse in on itself. It is a lovely, gentle, good-natured little jewel of a programme though, and I hope the BBC understands that and keeps the same format for next year. Ramping up the competition aspect of it would wreck it.

I didn't realise it had gained a over a million viewers since the first episode, and is the most watched show on the channel as well. I really hope they just leave it as it is.

They've already done that it's called Britain's Best Dish. Although this years was improved when they replaced the cricketer they had hosting it (whyyy have someone who doesn't know about food and can't present presenting?) with Mary Nightingale (who knows a bit about food and a lot about presenting).

I used to have a real love/hate relationship with Countdown. I like the games, but I absolutely hated Whiteley and Vorderman. Are the current hosts (massively) less twattish ?

Me & my sister have switched off the mobile phones, locked the children in the next room with their 3DSes and we have a plate of shortbread with toffee chips baked in.

BRING IT ON.

(Also, get to the baking. Don't care about life stories. Want pictures of the sexy cakes)

Okay, I've cracked and have started shouting "Anyone but Holly! Anyone but Holly" at the screen.

^And while I saw the balls on Mr Squirrel I am more appalled by the eyeshadow Sue Perkins is wearing. The woman has applied it with a trowel.
