 This Thursday sees yet another travel show. But before you run away this is no polished Alan Whicker, Bill Bryson, Michael Palin or Stephen Fry effort! The beauty of this new show is that its host is far from an expert or an experienced traveller and raconteur with a pithy remark for any sight or situation. No this new series is fronted by Karl Pilkington: Radio producer, television presenter and author.
He is better known for his observations on the brilliant podcasts which were turned into the animated 'Ricky Gervais Show' recently screened on Channel 4 and E4.Pilkington with his hangdog expression, dour, deadpan demeanour and quirky takes on modern life promises to be a new kind of travel reporter.

 Well, the long wait is nearly over and the build up and anticipation is soon to come to an end as 'The Inbetweeners' Series 3 will be hitting our screens this month.
The show first aired in May 2008 and has since become a huge hit not bad when you consider it seemed to originally be destined as a small cult comedy tucked away on E4. Since then it has just grown and grown, becoming the most successful and watched show in E4's history (pulling in over a million viewers per episode by Series 2).

 When I was a boy one sporting moment really stands out for me: When Alex 'Hurricane' Higgins won a second World Snooker title. The way he played the game with such speed and confidence, his swagger, his volcanic temperament and his charisma had me and most of the nation hooked in a sport that is usually the antidote to insomnia.
The emotion Higgins showed at winning the title as he clutched his wife and child to him was moving and memorable. It is an enduring image of a real 'sports personality.'

 This Saturday coming (28th August) sees the terrestrial debut of an excellent and original film that combines action, comedy and poignancy to great effect. It is a real rare gem that will thrill, make you laugh and move you as well.
'In Bruges' is a triumph for director and writer Martin McDonagh ('Six Shooter' also worth checking out). With a typically quirky take and view on life the script is full of humour delivered with scatter-gun speed.
