Hey Mister Telly Man
Adam Perry from the London office has a tight grip on his clicker and he channels some of what they're watching in the UK.
Back to the Future - ITV's celebration of its 50 years by getting ubiquitous hosts Ant and Dec to revive old game shows, from way back in the day, has proved a stunning success with viewers.
The Unteachables - C4's newest reality series with an issue at its heart follows super-teachers known for their ability to turn around difficult kids and gives them a class full of the worst behaved, least teacher-friendly teens you can find. The challenge to our superheroes of the classroom – teach the unteachable.
James Hewitt: Under Hypnosis - Britain's best-known cad and Princess Diana's one-timer lover went under hypnosis to answer all those questions we'd been dying to ask, like Are you the father of Prince Harry? Hypnotised or not, he still refused to answer incriminating questions! The truth is still out there, somewhere!
Inside Britain's Fattest Man - Honey, I shrunk the host – and then inserted him inside the layers of blubber and organs that comprise the body of Britain's most obese male to see how his body is coping with the excessive poundage.
Wife Swap - Is this powerhouse format
beginning to lose its appeal? The new series has seen the sparkle taken off its ratings performance and critics are turning against what they regard as cynical manipulation. Watch this space.
COMING UP:
Convent - After the success of The Monastery, the BBC has got the abbey habit as it searches for a convent that will allow the cameras in to repeat the process with women.
