Monkey

Something you want to tell us, Peter?

Forget The X Factor. Monkey is delighted to hear that ITV director of television and other stuff, Peter Fincham, is about to take the stage once more. Fincham fans will remember his performance of Live and Let Die at the MediaGuardian Edinburgh Television Festival's TV's Got Talent session back in August. Fincham played alongside other TV luminaries including Endemol UK chief executive Tim Hincks and Channel 4 News presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy in the fittingly-titled group, The Overnights. They came a creditable fourth. Well, music lovers, Monkey can reveal that Fincham will be taking a break from side-stepping awkward questions about whether or not he's going to Channel 4 or getting the top job at ITV with a gig at premier Shepherd's Bush club Ginglik on Monday 23 November. "Golden fingers" Fincham will be on the keyboards and it's all in aid of charity Child's i Foundation. Unfortunately The Overnights have split up. Over creative differences. Actually Monkey just made that last bit up. So Fincham, Hincks and some other Endemol-ites have, in the best rock tradition, gone on to form a supergroup, No Expectations. That's the name of the band. Not a comment from Fincham on his prospects for the Channel 4 job.
