ITV Political Debate & GIANT KILLER VOLCANO!!!!!!

Tonight sees UK political history made on bloody ITV! Yes, David Cameron, Gordon Brown and that other chap are going head to head on live television to win over the "floating voters" among us in the first ever televised Prime Ministerial debate in UK political history. Early reports suggest Gordon Brown is already taking too long making his points, blabbering on and on about nothing and missing the point slightly.

Cameron was just having a cup of tea and chatting to the good looking ladies. And the other fella - I think he's still on the bus at the moment. On his way there, like. Not that any of it matters, however, because the way things are going the world will be a burning ball of ash and bones by the time the election comes around. Today saw all UK air traffic grounded due to a dangerous cloud of ash and smoke spewing out of a volcano in Iceland. A billow of tiny particles of glass and steam has been carried on the winds and blown into our airspace.

I give the whole world another two years (hey, maybe the Mayans were right after all!) before the planets core freezes and the crust of the Earth splinters into nothing. Earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis are the way we're leaving this rock ladies and gents. Shame really, I was looking forward to a zombie takeover. Ah well, the Tories may win the election - that's the same, right?

Remember. The Debate. Tonight, ITV1 at 8.30pm. That's if the Death Cloud doesn't mess up the Satellite signal first.

Will You Be Watching 'You Have Been Watching'?

Tomorrow night sees the return of Charlie Brooker's channel Four TV panel show You Have Been Watching to our screens. And it's about time too! This week's show sees Charlie picking apart Doctor Who among other things with a panel of guests. This week, joining Charlie in the living test card that is the YHBW studio are David Baddiel, Liza Tarbuck and Kevin Bridges.

Guaranteed to make any TV fan "rofl" (a phrase that Charlie would beat me for using, no doubt) I cannot tell you how excited I am to have this show back on our tellyboxes. Charlie has proved that he is a very accessible and accomplished host who, despite his interspersed misanthropic rants, holds an audience with witty and jovial commentary on all things "telly".

But if you want more Brooker then you're in luck! Charlie will be joined by guests (including David Mitchell) for a special Election Night Special program on the night of May 6th. That's bound to be a great one to watch, isn't it? Like the alternative election show! That's where I'll be learning the result, and no mistake! Sorry, I turned into Russell Brand for a moment there, another thing Brooker would berate me for! Apologies, Charlie, if you're reading - which I doubt!

Anyway. Don't miss You Have Been Watching, Channel 4, tomorrow night that's April 15th) at 10pm. And I'll be ripping it apart here soon after, in a good way no doubt. You can learn more about this TV gem by clicking here and visiting the YHBW Channel 4 site. Enjoy!
