Sasha and Spencer

It’s a difficult day for Sasha and Spencer as it’s the day of Warren’s funeral.

Katy isn’t going to be coming to the funeral, and this therefore upsets Spencer as he’d expected his sister to be there.

Spencer isn’t even sure that he wants to go to the funeral without Katy there, he’s talked round however, and does ultimately attend Warren’s funeral.

Things don’t go well at the funeral as Cheryl starts to cause trouble in the church, and Sasha orders everyone out, with only her and Spencer remaining to pay their respects to Warren.

Deleted scene from Groucho Marx Does Birmingham

How childish and playground gang-like are Lisa and Kris and now Karly too?? In last night’s highlights show, we saw how, after gobbing off at Halfwit, Lisa had her say then refused to listen to what Freddie had to say. She was then backed up by Kris who said over and over again, “I’m not listening to you Freddie” like a three year old. The pair then started making “la la la” noises so they couldn’t hear what Halfwit was saying before stomping off into the house with Karly in tow. Jeez, grow up you sad acts!

The battle of the brides commences this Summer as four competitive couples go head to head in out and out wedding warfare. Four Weddings sees four brides to be put their special day under scrutiny, inviting three rival brides to critique their nuptials, all in a bid to win every newly wed’s dream prize – a luxury honeymoon. Weddings to remember are guaranteed, but will it be a big day of delight, or matrimonial misery? The ultimate wedding eavesdrop show launches for ten weeks on LIVING from July.

Freddie celebrates finally passing that motion while Karly explains how big it was.

Oh dear, I think the lack of cigs is getting to Karly; she’s very testy isn’t she? And she took out some of that anger and pent up nicotine withdrawal on Halfwit in last night’s Channel 4 highlights show...

It was a real battle of Who’s In Charge of This Task when Karly wanted to rehearse and Halfwit wanted to listen again to the song they had to sing. If there’d been any snow around, it would’ve turned into a potential p***ing contest!

So Sree and – for a change – Halfwit are up for eviction this week and I think it’ll be Sree who goes; at least, I hope it is. I’ve been not digging Sree for a while now and his bad loser attitude after his race with Siavash that we saw in the Channel 4 highlights show last night just made my mind up for me that he should be outta there asap.

Apparently, Noirin needs something...

If there’s one thing guaranteed to irritate me it’s someone who reneges on a bet. In case you didn’t see it, Siavash and Sree had a running race in the garden with a can of lager or cider from the next booze delivery at stake. Here's a clip of their race.

Martin Freeman (The Office/Hot Fuzz) and Alexander Armstrong (Armstrong & Miller/Mutual Friends) lead the cast in Syntax Era (working title) a single drama from Darlow Smithson for BBC Four.

Syntax Era provides an affectionately comic account of the Eighties race for home computer supremacy. The drama documents the lengthy rivalry between maverick visionary Sir Clive Sinclair (Armstrong) and his former colleague Chris Curry (Freeman) as they go head to head to achieve domination of the growing home computer market.

BBC Two Daytime has commissioned Brighter Pictures, an Endemol company, to produce a brand new game show called Pointless in which obscure knowledge is the key to success.

Presented by comedian Alexander Armstrong, Pointless sees five pairs of contestants compete for a cash prize – by winning the fewest points.

Every question on Pointless has been asked to a panel of 100 people before the show to find out the most obvious and the most obscure answers.

Commissioned by BBC Daytime's Commissioning Executive, Scotland and Northern Ireland, Jo Street, and made by STV, Antiques Road Trip is a series which pairs eight of Britain's best-loved antiques experts and sends them on a road trip across the UK in a selection of beautiful classic cars. They'll compete with each other to make the most money buying and selling antiques.

Each expert will have a starting budget of £200. From this they will try to continually trade up so that they increase their profits every time they sell at auction.

While searching for antiques to sell, they'll be painting a picture of Britain as they travel through a changing landscape of stunning countryside, coastal villages, bustling market towns and sprawling cities in their selection of beautiful classic cars. On the way they will meet some of our most colourful and eccentric characters as they drive off the beaten track in search of some antique gems.

Restoration Roadshow is a brand new series commissioned by BBC Controller of Daytime Liam Keelan, made by Transparent Television for BBC Two Daytime, and fronted by antiques expert Eric Knowles.

A squad of antiques restorers visit towns across the country where members of the public are invited to bring along items from damaged heirlooms to attic treasures which they hope can be restored.

Featured items will be appraised and valued before restoration and viewers will discover the back story and history to the item, plus the reason the owner would like them to be restored.

BBC Three explores what it is like to be young and growing up in Britain in 2009 in a new season of programmes. The Adult Season takes a snapshot of young Britain, capturing the essence of what life is like as a young person in society today and follows the stories of teenagers at the frontline of becoming adults.

Danny Cohen, Controller of BBC Three, said: "This Season aims to explore the boundaries between being an adult and a child, and how these appear to be changing in Britain today. We want to start a conversation with our audience about the age of adult responsibility – and the dangers of growing up too fast."

Leading the season is My Big Decision, a five-part documentary series following teenage girls on the cusp of womanhood, facing very adult situations and decisions that will affect the rest of their lives.
