Listening: Taye Diggs in Wicked
News of the Day:
- UK's rich list takes a hit. I'm feeling punchy.
- Twitter + politicians.
- A longer than necessary article dissecting artistic achievement and beauty.
- Interesting commentary from Independent about US television's golden age (that would be now) and how Brit tv compares.
- Juice. Behind the Music: X Factor.
- What is wrong with real British spies?! Another major fuck up. Lucas North, show 'em how it's done.
- Whew. "Bob the Builder's close shave with the Village People."
- Eton opens its doors for the poor black kid. Good idea, bad idea?
TV BAFTAs are tonight! Richard Armitage and Hermione Norris are slated to present. French and Saunders are up for a special award so perhaps a little Harry Jasper Kennedy action? Also, Spooks is up for best drama series. If they don't win, I hope they send in Lucas North to set things right. No one seems to think it will, but The Guardian is a fan.
Meanwhile, the preview for episode 6 of Robin Hood looks...good. Richard Armitage and Toby Stephens? That's somewhat indulgent.
