According to the documentary on Fermat's Last Theorem, this is part of 'a modular function' in 'hyperbolic space' ... Well, it's more interesting than Big Brother. Photograph: UKTV
"In the summertime, when the weather is hot," runs the famous Mungo Jerry hit, "There's piss-all on telly but faded soap stars and people making idiots of themselves ... " Oh, hang on, maybe it doesn't go like that. Maybe it should. Maybe it's the second verse.
But it's true, all the same. For those of a certain nature (and we are many) it is not entirely a bad thing - the only hitch is it's almost impossible to keep up with the sheer volume. Luckily, there are places to play catch-up.
This week, constant sources of BB8 information are Channel 4's rather selective and annoying censored Big Brother news feed (Emily didn't appear to leave until 27 hours after the fact, for example), Digital Spy and their forums, Grace Dent over at Radio Times with her popular, hilarious and very astute diary, and UnrealityTV, where they're going slightly goofy over remixed versions of Twinisms turned into songs.
I was interested to read somewhere that a Soap actress was 'taking a break from her acting to focus on her reality television career', which just seems wrong, doesn't it? So much so that I've completely blanked out where it was I saw the damn thing. Can anyone help?
Meanwhile, They're also getting over-excited about Britain's Got Talent, which this week has been trouncing tired old Big Brother in the ratings...
But we don't care. In fact, so little do we mind that we're also covering the live Big Brother shows over on our sister blog Organ Grinder. Talent, Schmalent, Britains Got Annoying Extroverts Locked Up On Channel 4, that's all I care about...
Oh! I've lost you again, haven't I?
Quick! An incredible documentary on the solving of Fermat's Last Theorem - sourced and viewable in full at Smashing Telly. Hurrah. There, all balanced out? Yes. All balanced out.
