Saturday nights used to be the pinnacle of TV for the week and a few months ago it looked as if maybe once again. Doctor Who on BBC1 had “lay the Smackdown”, so to speak, on ITV’s Celebrity Wrestling and it looked as if the ill advised z-list celebrity show was on the way out. I fear that this may however have been a false dawn as ITV seem to have gone into overload churning out pointless one show after another. Soap Star Superstar and Dancing on Ice now taking up the Saturday evening schedule.

Soap Star Superstar is just the rejects from celebrity Stars in Their Eyes and as for ITV attempt to make ice skating trendy – “Dancing on Ice” more like Muppets on Ice they better hope you can’t pick up ITV on Sesame Street otherwise Big Bird will be suing them for infringement of copyright.

If they are obsessed with cheesy family entertainment on Saturday evenings why don’t they bring back Gladiators with the evil Wolf, John “Awoogah” Fashanu, and that “Jet” bird would could do the splits stood up. Now that was entertainment!

Jet AKA Diane Youdale AKA Stretch Armstrong. How on earth did she do it?
