Poor old David Sawday. Not only was the former Tesco spin doctor pilloried during the first episode of the latest series of Have I Got News For You, but the programme researchers got his name wrong! From now on, if the Beeb is correct, we...
WHEN the history of these things is written, March 1999 may be seen as a turning point for the BBC. That was when the government stopped forcing ITV to stick a news programme in the middle of prime-time television, and so freed it to air whatever non...

Beebe has been named Vice President of Continuing Education and Community Services for Allegany College of Maryland....
PACIFIC Abyss... the non-story so far. A bunch of irritating American diving bores boast constantly about braving the dangers of their mission to explore the Pacific Ocean's darkest depths. And Springwatch blonde Kate Humble spouts pointless platitudes. What the hell is the Beeb's resident naturalist babe...
"HI-DE-HI," boomed Boris Johnson's dad Stanley after his shambolic son knocked at the door. Is this an appropriate way to greet London's mayor - as if he's running a hopeless holiday camp? In scruffy Boris's case, probably yes. But - like his boss Dave Cameron -...
WHENEVER he is backed into a corner it has always been Sir David Murray's style to come out aggressively. He was at it again last week when he emerged for a round of interviews with the media outlets he chooses whenever the heat is on: Rangers World;...

ANOTHER variety-packed week as Albert Square's manic marry-go- round went into overdrive and weird kid Ben Mitchell earned a new nickname... Silly Elliot. Naturally, sinister psycho Sean Slater's "hilarious" wedding to poxy Roxy was an unfunny comedy of nonsensical errors beset by all the traditional 11th-hour...
THE Beeb's Return to Castaway 2000 recalled the strange saga of reality TV's first runaway Ray Bowyer - who staged a mad dash from the Scottish isle of Taransay and inexplicably turned down a fat national newspaper cheque to sell his stupid story to the Stornoway Gazette... for a fiver....
LIKE the X Factor without revolting wannabes, the Beeb's Saturday night spectacular Last Choir Standing is hard to hate. Because of my strikingly-Welsh name, I'm rooting for the kids from Bangor-based Ysgol Glanaethwy, who admit they've struggled to learn to sing in English. Talking of not...
FRIDAY night and the burning question is: What's the difference between Celebrity Masterchef and Big Brother? Answer: Celebrity Masterchef has an audience. A seriously substantial audience. Which makes it all the more confusing that - after four weeks of genuinely gripping culinary...

Marianne Faithfull Live at the BBC DECCA Faithfull's early pop career was as coolly, poshly, folksily soignee as any early pop career has ever been: a sonic emblem of the unreachability of a certain archetype of feminised English romanticism: a gently vibrating watercolour voice framed with...
