Olympic gymnast Beth Tweddle has been crowned Dancing on Ice champion after an "electric" performance of the Bolero - made famous by Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean at the 1984 Winter Olympics.

If you find Sorkin's latest a bit trite, think on this: at least you're not watching Winter Wipeout

The number of top talent earning more than £100,000 a year at the BBC has gone up, according to its accounts which were released today.

Daybreak presenter Christine Bleakley and Chelsea star Frank Lampard have become engaged.

Imagine the scene at Windsor Castle this weekend. The Queen, not known for talking intimately with her children, will be desperately hoping that someone can come up with a suitably face-saving solution to the Andrew problem.

Treme, the New Orleans-based Sky Atlantic drama from David Simon (creator of The Wire), provides great insight into the culture of a great city.

ITV1 morning show Daybreak has bounced back by drawing a million viewers for the first time since its launch week.

How ITV must be grateful for that blunder that led to Peter Fincham being fired from BBC1 for an off-air clip that misrepresented the Queen and gave Britain's biggest commercial broadcaster the chance to hire one of the television industry's creative powerhouses.

I was not aware of Miriam O'Reilly, the former presenter of Countryfile, until she became a martyr for women over 50. O'Reilly claims that Jay Hunt, the former controller of BBC 1, dumped her because her face could not survive the age of high-definition television.
