Reaction to Dreary TV Titbits

Jessie Wallace to replace Amanda Holden in Wild at Heart.
Could be worse, at least she's not joining Heartbeat/The Royal.

Corrie's Claire/Ashley/Casey storyline to climax on top of a tower block.
This is Corrie's worst plot for many a year and the conclusion with Casey threatening to throw the baby off a tower block is hardly a surprising twist. Has British soap really used up all possible storylines now? It's time to ship some former Melrose Place writers into Weatherfield.

Bobby Davro joins EastEnders.
Come on, EastEnders. Stop bringing in new characters what are just carbon copies of old favourites. You need to move on, not keep repeating the past.

Harry Hill to make his own version of Beadle's About.
Top news. As much as it pains me to say it, but Harry's mean-spirited, knowing commentary to You've Been Framed is one of the funniest things on the box at the moment. But why not just bring Jeremy Beadle back to do it?

One of the main Desperate Housewives will be killed off this series.
But we were told one of them would die in the supermarket siege last year...

Ben Kingsley to possibly play Davros.
Could be brilliant, especially if he turns in a sweary Sexy Beast-style performance. Davros was always far scarier than the Daleks.
