Awards season it maybe, but sadly nothing
worth handing out for getting anything out on your small screens this week!
Yes, after plenty to choose from last week, it’s a bit of a quiet one.
It does, however, give me a brief
opportunity to mention a programme we didn’t quite have room for seven days
ago. Heroes arrived in the Uk on Monday night and with Ali Larter among its
cast it gave Sci-Fi Channel a spectacular figure - and I’m not just talking
about the ratings here! (I thank you!)
Unfortunately, itv’s new Saturday night
drama Primeval has taken a small dip in the ratings as it looks to find its
audience. This, after a promising start including cast member Hannah Spearritt
dancing around in only her underwear! You feel she has the ability to go on to
greater things than their answer to Torchwood - and hopefully wearing even less
too!
I’ve been really taken by Bones on Sky One
on Thursday nights and it’s just been given the "green light" for another
series in the US. However, glimpses of skin from one of its stars, Emily Deschanel who plays a forensic anthropologist, had almost disappeared off the
radar! There was some interest in the pilot and a bedroom scene later in series
one, but not much until last Thursday.
Emily not only showed a great change in
character, as she and her partner went undercover at trying to get to the
bottom of things at a Las Vegas fight club, but her wardrobe for her disguise
changed too and showed off her superb form to great effect.
Finally, for this week, fans of soft core
celebs should take note that Holly Sampson stars in Staying On Top (Sunday, Feb
25 at 1.30am on Playboy One.)
