Comics campaign to add subtitles to kids shows

Children should watch television with the subtitles on, because it "dramatically improves" their reading, according to a new campaign. Celebrities including Sir Lenny Henry, Stephen Fry, Sandi Toksvig and Phillip Schofield are supporting the drive, which wants subtitles to be the default setting on all children's TV programmes.

McIntyre gets Schofield in big trouble on This Morning

Michael McIntyre got Phillip Schofield in trouble as he tricked him into making a big announcement he was not allowed to make.

The farce awakens as Keith Lemon (hairy) and Paddy McGuinness (lairy) continue their movie spoofing with Return of the Jedi. If it seems an odd choice - why not just do Star Wars? - the production team do an amazing job mimicking the design, cinematography and editing of the original, while guest artists Phillip Schofield and David Dickinson do excellent work as Yoda and the Emperor. Still self-indulgent bollocks, though.

You can't shake your head at her guests and snort, "Celebrities? Never 'eard of 'em!"

Last week she had Pamela Anderson, for crying out loud! Someone who has actually been to Hollywood!

Tonight she welcomes daytime TV overlords Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, plus Lulu and Adam Woodyatt, the latter better known as Ian Beale from EastEnders, and, in the pub, Kaiser Chiefs play a few songs.

Brendan O'Carroll continues his alter ego's move into Saturday-night variety, having squashed The Voice in the ratings last week. Such a loose comedy hasn't had to adapt much: the audience now step through that broken fourth wall to win white goods, while the Mrs Merton/Kumars bits demonstrate that those innuendos don't need to be scripted. Tonight's stooges are Phillip Schofield, Holly Willoughby and Kaiser Chiefs.
