Media Talk: How OK is OK!TV? And there's a Rastamouse in the kitchen

Stephen Brook is in the chair this week, following Matt Wells's 'middle class, middled aged and mildly pretentious injury' … Matt's words, not ours.

Stephen is joined by two fine media brains: journalist Maggie Brown and Paul Robinson of KidsCo TV. There's plenty on the box this week. First up is Channel 5's relaunch and the television version of Richard Desmond's OK! magazine. Was the result a car-crash, or a thrilling celebrity ride?

Plus: Keys and Gray make their debut on Talksport, the new Australian Masterchef and the sinking ship that is Outcasts. And put your hands together please for the return of the Media Talk News Tombola, as we give the magazine ABCs the 1950s quizshow treatment. Well, they need something …

Finally, Rastamouse, the patois-spouting, skateboarding, crime-fighting rodent from CBeebies, has upset a few folk. Where do our guests stand on the debate? Most probably on a chair.
