I am LOVING 'Sing if you can'!

I may have been quite slow on the uptake with ITV's new Saturday show- 'Sing if you can', because actually, it's pretty bloomin' hilarious.

To be fair, if you have Keith Lemon presenting you're surely on to a winner anyway, but his co-host Stacey Solomon is also the perfect sidekick for this kind of show.

D-list celebs line up to be humiliated week on week, while trying to get through a song to win money for charity. Sounds pretty average doesn't it?

Well, this is where Keith Lemon comes in to make it possibly the funniest show in TV right now.

Contestants have to battle through BMX riders circling round them, being drenched in chocolate or water and then blasted with icy cold blasts of steam, all controlled by the Lemon.

It is just TOO funny and that's why ITV have scored such a hit, largely thanks to the celebs putting themselves through hell, but largely thanks to Keith's put downs and Stacey's sweet nature.

At the heart of it, its all for a good cause- but honestly, I'm hoping they make this into a regular series because it's fast becoming my new guilty pleasure!

This and some crazy show on BBC called 'Don't scare the hare'... more on that next week!

Marple to get a revamp! Noooo!

Jennifer Garner as Marple?! Yep I couldn't believe it either!
This news upsets me. As you may have gathered I’m a massive Marple fan, so to find out that the much loved ELDERLY sleuth is to get a makeover, courtesy of Disney makes me feel sad inside.

Yes, it may be OTT but seriously- Jennifer Garner as Marple!? Ben Affleck’s missus doing some snooping in a sleepy little village? There is just no sense to this!

I had to laugh at Grazia’s take on this- truly incensed, as was I to hear the news. Mainly because it’s just craziness that a Hollywood beauty who isn’t even 40 yet is expected to take on a role made famous by a string of screen greats!

Most recently we have seen Julia McKenzie take over from Geraldine McEwen in the ITV Marple revamp, to great applause.

Angela Lansbury played the ageing sleuth to perfection, as did Margaret Rutherford and Joan Hickson in their respective versions of Christie’s classic.

Can you really imagine Jennifer Garner attracting this kind of adoration!? No me neither!

If somehow, Disney do manage to pull this out of the bag, then I will eat both my words and Marple’s dainty hat.

Poriot: Hallowe'en Fashion

I know it’s not cool. I’m the first to admit that, but I love Poirot. He’s just the most incredible creation on TV- so self important, yet so lovable.

Anyway, it’s been a while since I’ve had a new mystery to pour over (the box set is getting a little worn now) so thankfully ITV answered my cry with a Halloween special aired last Wednesday.

Due to scheduling conflicts, what with The Apprentice, Gossip Girl and Ugly Betty all airing around this time, it was recorded for my viewing pleasure to watch this weekend.

Gothic fashion at its best I would say. Poirot once again solved a tragic triple murder, well four if you’re going to be finickity about it, while looking fab in patent leather boots.

You see Poirot can’t wear anything other than the best, even when he can’t walk in them, he insisted on wearing said shoes to roam around looking for clues.

The result was tremendously funny and it reminded me how feminine he has always been. We squeezed ourselves into girdles, corsets and high heels, while he wears uncomfortable stiff collars and boots to maintain his image.

I’ve often thought I was born in the wrong era; everyone was so glamorous in the 30s and 40s. Everyone wore a hat, had perfectly quaffed hair and matching red nails and lips were considered essential day wear, whereas today the norm is wandering around supermarkets in PJs...

Here’s to the next Poirot mystery to grace our screens, and with yet more big names featuring it is sure to whip up a vintage fashion frenzy!
