Bonkers!

Yep, it's winter, and time for a less ebullent Simon Shaps to take to the stage - with no applause - and lay out the ITV1 stall at the season press launch. With an agreeable degree of humility, he touched upon the fact the channel's dramas have been much of a muchiness in recent years, and claimed that now things were going to change. And based on the trail that followed, he could be right, with a Jane Austen season, a political satire (Confessions of a Diary Secretary) and a sex comedy (Bonkers) in the works.
