Various tiny tearaways are upset by Billie Piper’s (alleged) behaviour at an Asda book-signing.
Asda has book-signings?
Swap Shop back for one night only
This December, no doubt fuelled by a heady mix of nostalgia and Noel Edmonds’ return to fame and fortune on Deal or No Deal, Swap Shop is coming back for one night (and one night only).
Quantum Leap: The Third
In August, NBC decided they’d really like a new version of Quantum Leap and commissioned a pilot: “The story revolves around a man who travels back in time to correct wrongs, with a romantic storyline as well.”
Well, Quantum Leap seems to have taken a grip on US networks. Now The CW has put into development Jumper, a show in “a young male FBI agent… jumps into the body of someone who’s about to be murdered. He must then solve the crime (along with his young female partner) and prevent it before it happens.”
Dear oh dear.
William Petersen’s (temporary) CSI replacement
A while back, I mentioned that William Petersen was off to do some theatre for a while and so would be departing the CSI cast temporarily. I won’t spoil you with the story reasons for Grissom’s departure, but I will tell you who his replacement his going to be: Liev Schreiber. More details over at Auriello.
What do you think? I think he’s a good choice. He has the right degree of introversion and intellect for the mothership CSI. If it were CSI: Miami, that would be a different matter…
