Last night saw the final of Andrew Lloyd Webber's television search to find a new star for his forthcoming stage presentation of The Sound Of Music.
This latest variation on the reality show theme, How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria? was deservedly won by Connie Fisher who was star material from the outset.
I rather thought she would win because my Leader wanted her to win and single-handedly cast enough votes to ensure it.
Who knows, we may even get up to London to see her when the show opens.
Well, we will when there is a coach running and the 'house full' signs have come down.
Agent Gibbs was back, too.
NCIS starring Mark Harmon and the badly cast haircut.
The haircut seems to have improved slightly.
More familiar with its part now, perhaps?
There was also The Life And Death Of Peter Sellars. Geoffrey Rush, who was wonderful as the disturbingly brilliant pianist David Helfgott in Shine, bravely tackled the role.
Sadly Sellars, unlike Helfgott, was not just one person. He was a confused mess of different people - many of them totally unreasonable - and nobody but he could have played him.
It was a good try, though.
I have recorded Afterlife (first of a new series) with Lesley Sharp and Andrew Lincoln.
It's tosh, but splendidly acted tosh.
I had better go watch it.
