Sunday Bloody Sunday » Alan Partridge returns
Sep 5th
Okay, it’s Sunday, you’ve read the papers, washed the car and you think to yourself ‘Sunday bloody Sunday!’
If you feel like Alan, you’ll be please to hear he’s all set to make yet another comeback to alleviate your 7th day boredom, staring in 10 mini episodes available only on the internet.
But as each episode is only 12 minutes long it won’t really whet Partridge fans appetites, still I suppose its better than nothing.
Created solely for Fosters lager, they must have paid Partridge creator Steve Coogan an awful lot of money to ditch Alan’s favourite pint of bitter with a Baileys More >

As reported here last week. Apple have announced their new music and media lineup for the next 12 months.
A revamped iPod Touch, a totally new iPod Nano and the much anticipated re-imagining of the Apple TV were all unveiled by Steve Jobs at the Apple press conference in San Francisco yesterday (1st September 2010).
The iPod Touch looks slick and now comes with the same Retina display screen boasted by the iPhone 4. In fact with the addition of FaceTime and a HD video camera, it’s now pretty much an iPhone 4 without the phone.
The all new iPod Nano has had More >
The Stig is revealed…
Sep 1st
The BBC has today (1st September 2010) lost it’s attempt to block the release of a book that will reveal the real identity of The Stig from BBC2s Top Gear programme.
The High Court ruling is bad news for the BBC, who no doubt will have loads of Stig merchandising lined up to be released over the next few months to cash in on the busy Christmas shopping period.
The main selling point of The Stig was his anonymity, now that that has gone, the show might have to create a new character. No easy feat, over the last few years ratings More >

Aug 26th
A much rumoured press event to be held by Apple on September 1st 2010 could unveil their next planned assault on your living room.

Believed to be re-branded as iTV the new look box should be much cheaper than the current Apple TV, mainly due to its lack of hard drive, choosing instead to simply stream HD quality More >
Celebrity Masterchef » Review
Aug 26th
So I’m a fan. Why? Because it takes skill, you have to work hard and there is a humble desire amongst the contestants to win. When it comes to Celebrity Masterchef there are also no prima donnas, no ego’s, just people who love to cook and just happen to be a bit famous.
This atmosphere is reflected in the way the competition is presented and the good spirit of the contestants – of which there was no better example than with the 3 finalists, Dick Strawbridge, Christine Hamilton and the eventual winner the plucky, timid, yet talented Lisa Faulkner.

A new term for the Inbetweeners
Aug 25th
Just a few days after Channel 4 began its ‘Coming Soon’ campaign for the all new 3rd series comes even better news for all you failed Rudge Park Sixth-formers, the much hyped film version is now all systems go as well.
The final stumbling block of Simon Bird’s contract has now been ironed out and the four amigos will head out to Malia in Crete in a few days to begin location shooting.
Bird allegedly wanted more money to reprise his role as the nerdy hero Will Mckenzie leading producers to call his bluff and start the process of recasting. But rest More >
Switch off the X-Factor and go and do something less boring instead
Aug 21st
Its hard to believe it but this Saturday 21st August The X-Factor returns to our screens on ITV, but should it? Is this the year to fight the system and say enough is enough?
Spurred on by last years Facebook campaign to get Rage Against the Machine to the Christmas number 1 spot instead of the nicey nice Joe McElderry, I say this year is the year we should all boycott the show completely.
Yes I know the auditions are entertaining, but c’mon people how many times do we need to watch wierdos murdering pappy pop songs.
Like Crack, watching the auditions is More >

So the Commumity Shield ended in an unusually good game, now we can finally turn all our attention to the main event with the return of the Premier League this Saturday 14th August 2010. Well we could if it wasn’t for a blooming annoying England friendly tonight at Wembly against Hungary. Who organised that farce?
Anyway this season promises to be the closest run in history with arguagbly 6 teams capable of winnning the trophy. But who will take the top prize and who’ll be left scrapping for the crumbs. Our boffins at Frackin Towers have bashed their heads together to More >
Arcade Fire : The Suburbs : Album Review
Aug 11th
In one word simply ‘Wow’! The Arcade Fire come back with their third stunning full length release in a row.
Following on from 2005s Funeral and 2007s Neon Bible, the Fire have decided to follow the path of further development and sonic progression rather than churning out the same old sounds and cashing in.
Not that it’s a totally new sound mind. It’s still distinctly Win Butler, Régine Chassagne and co.
But the soundscapes of The Suburbs is a mix of the old and the new, part Funeral, part Neon Bible blended with bits of New Order, Depeche Mode and an added splash More >
