There's more puppetry in Special 1 TV (BBC3). Punditry puppetry, with a plastic José Mourinho hosting an interactive phone-in chat show from the World Cup in South Africa. Some of the impressions (Mick McCarthy) are spot-on; other's (Arsène Wenger) fail like an Emile Heskey attempt on goal. Hit and miss then, as you'd expect from a show like this. But still a lot less annoying than James Corden's World Cup shambles on ITV.
