A slow week in the world of TV blogs, it seems. Probably all the chocolate and flagellation of the bank holiday weekend (flagellation for Mel Gibson fans, chocolate for every one else) taking some time to wear off.
The Bafta nominations were announced, and though lively debate ensued here on the Arts blog, there seemed relatively little that the telly blogosphere had to say about it, apart from to regurgitate the lists of nominees, fawn over John Simm, and seize the chance to publish another picture of Daniel Craig in tight trunks, which is surely never a bad thing.
Much more was being said about the end of Life on Mars, most of it theories of what the hell it all meant. Though most seemed happy with the ambiguous end to the mind-twisting series, there seemed little consensus on what actually happened, which is odd in a bunch of people apparently watching the same programme. I personally liked Green Wing writer James Henry's interpretation. Even if it did end up being completely wrong.
The light entertainment behemoths that are TV-talent-show/West-End-pap mash-ups continue apace on Saturday nights. Luckily for those who want to keep on top of pop culture but can't bear another minute of watching weepy stage school drop-outs who will probably lose their voice after two nights on a real stage anyway, you can keep up to date without actually having to switch on the tellybox. The Stage are going in depth on every moment of Any Dream Will Do, while Unreality TV is a one-stop shop for every query you could plausibly have about the world of Grease is the Word and in particular, it's implausibly featured judge and possibly star attraction (?!), David Gest.
