Big Brother...8? oh frankly who cares what number?

'Less than a month to go!' Squeals most Big Brother fan-sites. I'd be tempted to go for the headline of 'Not that time again!'

I'm unable to believe there are still enough people watching for this show to be about to commence its eighth series and as it's the last one at Elstree studios we're all in for some fantastic viewing...

An insider source has said: “It’s set to be a long hot summer of shocks, surprises and twists. Nothing’s been set in stone yet. But whatever they’ve got up their sleeve, it’s gonna be explosive.” And at 94 days it's the longest yet! The wait is unbearable isn't it? This is probably referring to the rumour that the house is set to be blown up at the end, whatever next?

The biggest talking point so far is the new eye design, (above) okay so it looks quite cool but again it raises the question in my head: "So what?" For me Big Brother is Davina McCall, running around as if she cares about these latest 'celebrities,' a term which i use VERY lightly... what is there to enjoy about that? I mean she must be about 40 by now, so there's not even any eye candy!

If you're still reading perhaps you are interested, so here's one potential spoiler:
After 48 hours there will be a surprise..... Oh sorry, you mean it gets more interesting than that? We'll see.
(ps, notice I don't label this as 'entertainment')

Save the cheerleader, save the World

As we all know, the US produces classic TV shows time and time again. The list is endless: Lost, Prison Break, The OC, 24 and so on and so on... Guess what? They've done it again, with the simply named 'Heroes.'

The only show I can mention which is vaguely familiar is Smallville... I know, I didn't like it either, but there really is nothing out there quite like it. Think of a superhero show and what comes to mind? Invincibility, invisibility, time travel, flying... Everything you can think of is covered and in fine detail too.

Don't expect anything like X-Men with superhero action left, right and centre, instead you will appreciate the deeper stories as our 'Heroes' work out their powers slowly and begin to learn their role in saving the world. It all comes together brilliantly to leave you on the edge of your seat, waiting for the next episode.

It is hard to pinpoint exactly why this is so good, but in my mind it definitely surpasses most of what I've seen on TV for years, it really is that good. We're lucky enough to know people who can get us the episodes as they are shown in the US, but the rest of you will have to wait until it is shown on BBC 2, after the Sci-Fi channel has shown it, having already paid for the rights... Until then here is a compilation from YouTube to get your mouth watering with anticipation!
