lovely chap? never been called that before but my good old Mum used to say whos a lovely boy then? just before she kissed my bum after lightly dusting it with nice smelly talc. Now, before you lot join in, I was only a mere babe in arms then. Mind you, that could have been last week!

PS, I spoke to Simon Smiff last night. I asked about the slanging match. If what he tells me is true, and Simon doesnt lie then all I can say is that the Beeb will be showing their first silent movie for meny a decade. I wonder who is the pianist?

To the babe in arms:
That wasnt you she was talking to, it was her parrot.
As for the sight of your Mum kissing your bum, your poor old mum just needs new glasses..... and a bigger table.
Babe in arms last week? Seeing as most babes are born bald it comes as no suprise whatsoever that she was mistaken.
Lightly dusting your bum with talc? It would HAVE to have been lightly because there aint no cannister of talc big enough to cover an area the size of Derbyshire.

etc etc etc

Quote from the guide this morning -

Mechannibals
New construction challenge. Families compete to build machines - using only the items in their own homes. First up, a contraption to demolish a garden shed

WATCH THIS
mechanibals - 8:30pm, BBC2
Robot Wars comes home in this new, louise Brady-hosted smashnbash show which will see families go head-to-head in a series of gloriously dappy technological challenges, utilising only the contents of their houses. First up, the Hockeys and the Smiths are charged with assembling machines in order to destroy an unsuspecting shed. Stupid? Yup. Ecologically sound? Barely. A good laugh? Definitely.

Sounds like a good un, at least the reviewers are already liking the idea

Excellent... cant wait

Theres apparently also a review in Time Out, which brands us duplicitous or deceitful or similar. Which is probably fair enough, to be honest, particularly since they also suggest that its well worth watching anyway.

Fingers crossed for the viewing figures, then.

i may have not read properley but whos on tonight??

[mrdaves]

If I was you I wont read the sunday mails tv guide, because Mechanibals is under the dont watch section...

...But then again, the person who does the sunday mails tv guide recommandions does hate anything that is creative.
