Glee Producers Realise That Firing The Famous Cast Isn’t Too Great An Idea

GLEEKS the world over where literally apoplectic with a vague sense of mild irritation when they heard the news that The Famous Ones from Glee were getting fired.

Of course, Lea Michele, Chris Colfer and Cory Monteith were going to get handed their P45s because, in the name of realism (which the show clearly prides itself on – HA!), their characters were going to have to leave school after graduation.

Dr Who’s TARDIS Is Relocated To A Portaloo On BBC3

DR Who is so very modern and cutting edge since the Doctor managed to become as young looking as his lovely assistants.

It is odd while the Time Lord gets younger his female sidekick remains nubile and, therefore, shaggable. People see this as a good thing. It is. Dr Who is no longer some creepy old guffer a growing lad would brave the ladies loos to avoid following into the public facilities. Had Dr Who not gone young, the other option was to relocate the TARDIS into a portaloo and morph the sidekick into a nascent gay young man on BBC3.

This new Dr Who can be photogenic. His sidekick can be his love interest. The Doctor is also very theatrical and speaks in a stage whisper. The show features terrible comedy moments and a mawkishness that would make Mork puke in Mindy’s hair. In short, it’s got one eye on the American market.

Dallas Is Back – You’re Not Dreaming: Let’s Just Hope It Reawakens Dynasty

DALLAS is to make a return to the telly. The US soap opera that between 1978 and 1991 charted the lives of the Ewings cattle and oil family, of the Southfork Ranch in Texas – introducing us to The Oil Barons’ Ball and a scheming secretary called Sly (no-one said it was subtle) – is coming back.

Does the telly need Dallas? Anorak has spent the last few moments working out that because of the money paid on the compulsory licence fee, a one-hour screening of the 1980s soap opera will cost us 0.00019p. It is 0.0012p cheaper than EastEnders. You might think, makes is appear a sound investment. But, then, an apple in Marks & Spencer – one of those big shiny ones hand-picked by Brazilian virgins wearing gloves made from kid goat perineums – costs around 42p. And, you know what, we’d go without 30,216 episodes of EastEnders for one bite of that apple.

And no soap opera is free. Hollyoaks, Crossroads’ bastard child, is on Channel 4 – you pay for that in your licence fee. And there’s Coronation Street on ITV, a show now so firmly locked in its own past that it resembles a swirling bath tubs of soapy water making its way round and round life’s plug hole.

Kitten Outwitted By Two Green Apples: Video

THE kitten is scared of the two apples. Well, so says the headline to this video. But might it be that these two apples are training the kitten in warfare? Might it be that these two apples – and I am only saying this to uphold my membership to PUNS (the shadowy tabloid group Press United News Syndication) – are rotten to the core?

(Never trust a cat.)
