Kim Kardashian's camera crew wasn't the first to set foot in the Armenian capital - Dave beat the E! channel to it by a year

Some might say the lesser-watched travel programme, 24 Hours to Go Broke, lacked the glamour of the Kardashians

Kim Kardashian West and her sister Khloe have this week returned from a tour of their ancestral homeland Armenia, where they met the prime minister, Hovik Abrahamyan, learnt about their heritage and also recorded some no-doubt scintillating new scenes for reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

From the excitement of tourism officials in capital city Yerevan, you'd think this was the first time an international camera crew had set foot in the Armenian capital. In fact a lesser-watched Dave travel programme, 24 Hours to Go Broke, beat the E! channel to it by a year. Some might suggest that presenters Richard Herring and David Baddiel lack the glamour of the Kardashians, but I find if you tilt your head to the side and squint a little, the similarities are uncanny.

Big Breakfast's big comeback

All the signs were there: Chris Evans confirmed he'd be returning to Channel 4 for a special of his 1990s show TFI Friday; and Denise Van Outen, who became the nation's sweetheart when she joined The Big Breakfast in 1997 was making a comeback on EastEnders. Simultaneously public interest in the fortune of breakfast television had been revived by Piers Morgan's stint standing in for Ben Shephard on ITV's Good Morning Britain.

Then, on Wednesday, the final piece fell into place: ragga-rapping aliens Zig and Zag announced a new animated show on CBBC. It's hard to imagine these two puppets on any other morning show. So surely the time is right for The Big Breakfast's big revival?
