  As I sit writing this, I am happily making my way through a whole family pack of HobNobs (not really, but a girl can dream.) And such sugary, calorie-laden dreams would be very wrong, as we well know. Junk food = bad, celery sticks = good. It seems that this mantra of healthy eating, as bellowed by celebrity chef, Jamie Oliver, is finally being

  Much as I love football and inevitably certain footballers, I do marvel at how little work can be involved. They train for a few hours here and there, but that's pretty much it. Tottenham Hotspur striker, (but for how long?) Jermain Defoe, must be staying behind after training for some extra practice, as it seems that he is too busy to go

  to make clear that its documentary about an Alzheimer's sufferer's death did not show the moment of his passing, film-maker Paul Watson claimed this morning. Mr Watson told Radio 4's Today programme that he was being made a "scapegoat" in the latest row over TV deception and that his 11-year documentary project had been "wrecked" by the

  I don't have satellite TV. Or cable. Or whatever it's called these days. The only time I ever get to watch it is when I go 'round a mates' house, and watch the footy. Everytime I watch something else on non-terrestrial TV, I find out that I'm missing very little. With that, my only contact with non-terrestrial shows are through my digibox, and

  I've realised that I've been wasting my time reviewing rubbish programmes when I could have been telling you all how great Empire's Children is (Channel 4, Monday, 9pm). In the last episode, I watch Jenny Eclair have a near nervous breakdown in Malaysia and undergo an incredibly fascinating journey into her, and the British Empire's, past. So,

  Published: August 2, 2007, 12:44 pm

  Crazy Legs is a great documentary subject because he is such an interesting character. He’s unique and funny, and strangely relatable. He’s that friend that everyone talks about at parties. Watching Crazy Legs eat is pretty gross, but it’s easy to root for him the whole time anyways, even when Conti, who is always
