Watched recently

The Late Show: Barbara Walters, Penn & Teller and Cobie Smulders - Penn & Teller were OK, but I worked out how they did their act, something I seem to be able to do with inceasing ease with all magic acts lately. Cobie Smulders briefly reminded me of Lake Bell - 3/5

Nip/Tuck: Magda and Jeff - a bit silly, really. Seen worse episodes though and it's always good to see AnnaLynne McCord (below) - 3/5



Britain's Got Talent: 29th May - 3/5
James Stone - when the camera cut to his family, I'm pretty sure that Alicia Eyo, who played Denny in Bad Girls, was among them - 3/5
Charlie Wernham - 3/5
Harlequins - 3/5
Andrew Muir - I do appreciate why the judges put him through, because he does have a good voice, but why didn't he go for the X Factor instead? - 3/5
Boogie Babes - there's something alarming about a bunch of 8 to 12-year olds dacing in shiny black latex leggings. They were good though - 4/5
Vizage - really woman, when Simon Cowell tells you you can't sing, you're not going to do yourself any favours by coming back and singing again - 2/5
Jeremy Lynch - should have gone through. I don't buy into the argument that his dropping the ball was like a singer dropping notes because what he did required a much high level of skill and precision, so such errors should be more forgiveable - 4/5
Faryl Smith - my personal stand-out act of the series so far - 5/5

The Big Bang Theory: The Pork Chop Indeterminacy - aka The Shiksa Indeterminacy on the Sky EPG. No idea where E4 keep getting these alternate titles from. Courtney Henggeler is an interesting and attractive newcomer to the small screen - 4/5

Britain's Got Talent: 30th May - 3/5
Caburlesque - seemed to be less dancing, more running to a new position and striking a pose - 2/5
Madonna Decena - a sob story will only get you so far - 2/5
Anya Sparks - I love the fact that we a live in a country where a big, ordinary woman like Anya can find herself on TV in front of an audience of 10 million people - 3/5
Craig Harper - only one of his impressions was anywhere near convincing, but he's amusing enough - 3/5
Diva Las Vegas - 2/5
Nemisis - street dancing lost out earlier in the week when they put through the Cheeky Monkeys ahead of the far superior Flava, but it's won out this week with Nemisis and quite right too because they were exceptional - 5/5
Per Diem - that singer looked like a right nasty piece of work when he'd been buzzed out - 2/5
Esacla - four fit women in tight dresses playing a James Bond theme on electric string instruments. What's not to like? - 5/5
