They're bringing back Jackanory.
For the younger members here, it was a kid's programme where a celebrity read from a children's book.
That was all it was, somebody sitting there reading a book to camera and we sat and listened.
A bloody good kid's programme. No sirens and claxons and flashing lights and audiences baying for blood or hyperactive presenters screaming and jumping about like PCP'd hummingbirds.
1 person reading.
And some of the previous people to have read include Peter Sellers, Joanna Lumley, Denholm Elliott, Arthur Lowe, Kenneth Williams, Alan Bennett, Maggie Smith, Bernard Cribbins, Judi Dench, and Paul Merton.
Now all we need is Swapshop back and I'll be happy.

Knightmare's on challenge and Whose Line is on bi-weekly, it seems, at the moment.

Woah, if they get him back again I'm there.
And Stryke: Knightmare is on some satellite channel, possibly Challenge. It really is terrible.

They've been doing something similar on Cbeebies for years now, getting a celebrity of some sort to read a short story at around 1830-1900. I know this because I have a much younger brother. Honest.
i think i saw Rik Mayall reading "georges marvelous medicine" on jackanory when i was a kid. even thought it took me until i saw Bottom to realise it was him :)
I enjoyed a bit of Jackanory, as it was coming to an end.
I'd like to see Knightmare back as well, awfully beardy program.

Jade Goody reads 'The Ugly Duckling'.
Unfortunatly it's not going to be a permanent, it will be an occassional thing and i'm hoping they wont try and dumb it down by hiring Z list celebrities who only learnt how to read by looking through the papers for publicity about who they've been shagging this week.
