The good, the bad and the pugly

Rupert Penry Jones: all in the jaw line Liberal wish fulfilment Hess: what a mess

The question of what to review tonight is a vexed one with the traditional competitive scheduling of the TV moguls leading to a frustrating choice in the prime 9pm slot. Spooks (BBC1, 9pm) Spooks has been even more ridiculous than usual this s...

June Sarpong being beaten with the fashion stick Anna Wintour: baby's got botox

"Supermodels are superhuman" - some slab faced stylish. This programme was ridiculous - frou frou for fantasists. What better woman to present a rush through the idiotic intricacies of the fashion world than June Sarpong, a mouth with legs? Zom...

a potato shaped like Simon Cowell a prototype for the X Factor emotibot Broken Face - The Pixies
