Gladiators: Back From The Dead, 9pm, Four

Should be 8-)


Eddie Izzard: Dress to Kill

Possibly comedy Marmite :?

Featuring the cross-dressing comedian's famous `cake or death' routine, this is often thought of as one of his best live shows. Recorded at the Stage Door Theatre in San Francisco during his 1998 tour, he offers his opinion on everything from the history of Western culture to jihad

Channel 4 11:15pm-12:30am (1 hour 15 minutes) Mon 14 Jun


The Graham Norton Show

Bill Bailey would be my interest here :)

The host is joined by Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden and comedian Bill Bailey, and singer Kelly Rowland performs her latest single, Commander

BBC1 N Ireland 11:05pm-11:50pm (45 minutes) Mon 14 Jun


Justin Lee Collins: Good Times

I don't mind JLC, but he's utterly insufferable in this show, fawning all over the guests and staring a little too deeply into their eyes for some weird reason... However, Jessica Hynes is on it, so if you catch it at the right time etc ;)

The comedian hears from writer and actress Jessica Hynes about her role alongside Andy Serkis and Simon Pegg in forthcoming horror caper Burke and Hare. US rocker Adam Lambert discusses coming second on American Idol and his working relationship with Lady GaGa, dancer and reality star Louie Spence chats about his life, and singer Jason Donovan tries his hand at darts. Last in the series

five 11:00pm-12:00am (1 hour ) Mon 14 Jun

The stuff I posted last night was a bit of a letdown in general, and the Gladiator show kept looping the same CGI and info to pad the show out to an hour :roll:

Fairly typical for non-beeb docutainment, take 60 minutes including adverts for less than 10 minutes of OC.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

I have spotted that in the Star Wars The Clone Wars series. If I as an amnesiac can spot it then it must be rife. TBH I have only seen injured troopers being carried on by stretcher on to a gunship, but at least three times now.

It did seem to wander off on a random tangent at various times, then stopped when the cash was cut off. The last episode was stuck together and didn't really conclude anything if I recall. Probablyy worth buying if it's caught you.

EDIT: the new series is different in tone, brought up to date a bit in some ways, but didn't grab me
