The cast of Doctor Who show off their American accents

Well, we’ve had David Tennant (unintentionally) give several American accents a go in Rex is Not Your Lawyer. Now, let’s see how Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darville do at New Jersey/New York (isn’t Snooki from New York originally?), Alaska and wherever the crap Ghostface Killah is from, as they read out some celebrity tweets in their best American accents. Matt Smith seems to think they all come from Texas or thereabouts.

Question of the week: will Big Brother work on Channel 5?

So if you haven’t heard, Richard Desmond, owner of various pornographic television stations and publications, as well as the Daily Star and Daily Express (yes, there is some tautology there), has acquired for the princely sum of £200m the rights to make new series of Big Brother on Channel 5. 

Yes, £200 million. For two years.

So the big question this week is:

Is Richard Desmond mental? Can Big Brother even be made to work on Channel 5? If it can, can he ever recuperate £200m with it? And will you watch it?
