Enders/ Derren/ Peep Show/ Jro/ Idol

It was an excellent night's TV last night- lucky for me, who's too poor to go out. Eastenders, which is proper rubbish on a stick normally was unintentionally hilarious, watching Phil Mitchell's pudgy little face trying to hang onto that car was ace. He looked like a gigantic hippo diving under the water, stopping for a five minute chat under the car. Does Ian's brat die? I dunno. I don't read the soap spoiler. It wasn't looking good though.

Derren was the one we've been waiting for, where he made a girl think she'd died in a car crash. The cast of her face was really creepy, but who lets people put gunge over their mouth and eyes at the beauty spa? Yuck. I thought the whole thing was done as tastefully as possible considering the subject matter and it was very eerie and convincing. Derren: you remain the master.

Peep Show (can the series be over all ready??? Booooo!) was brilliant, Jez pissing himself was the moment for me. Come back very soon! Apparently Magicians is shit, but how can it be so?

Janice Dickinson on Jonathan Ross was fucking ace, she makes Sharon Osbourne look positively conservative. She would make a great judge on X Factor, it's true.

We also watched (i.e. forwarded through) American Idol and both predicted the no-necked wonder would get the heave-ho (mainly because they Americans don't like black people) and also cos she was kinda boring. Who will win out of Jordin and Blake? I dunno. What I do know is I'm going to be at my mums next week for the final so I'm going to have to watch the whole fuckng thing, insipid Cat Deeley links an' all. And if I dare say I hate this or that person I'll get,

'Why are you so horrible about everyone?! You don't like anyone!'

True. It's called having taste.

Derren Brown/ Peep Show

Could this be the best hour of TV we've seen all year? It was definitely the most eagerly anticipated by little old me. Derren Brown could basically rule the world and you know it. Instead he decides to just perform increasingly elaborate tricks on students and celebrities whilst looking very smug indeed. Mind you, I'd look smug if I could rule the world yet basically couldn't be arsed. In fact, that might even be true. Nah. Probably not.
Anyway. In his latest show he takes one person who has volunteered and plays an elaborate trick on them. In this one he broke into a guys house wearing murderer gloves (his girlfriend had given him the key), woke him up, hypnotised him and woke him up again in Marrakesh. How you can get an unconscious man through customs when you can't even take an average-sized bottle of shampoo was not explained. It was a good trick, but a bit too much time was spent on it, I guess, I like to get a bit more variety out of Derren. I also wanted to see the guys reaction when they woke him up. I'm looking forward to the car crash one though. Derren is a sick fuck and an evil genius and I demand to marry him.
So if Derren was a slight let down, Peep Show was the opposite. I thought they may have dried up a little as they are on the fourth series, but it really started in style and was absolutely hilarious. Spot on. The pheasant thing was absolutely disgusting! Obviously I'd already seen about ten minutes of it in the many clips they've ben showing, but it was still laugh out loud funny all the way through.
And I was drunk too, which helped.
I've high hopes for the rest of the series. Jonathan Ross, on the other hand, needs to get some decent guests. When Charlotte Church is outdoing you on the bookings, it's time to sort it out, J.Ro!
