The reality of a career in tv...

Wales, a small country in London apparently...

Yanks... you gotta love em. Larry King, a current affairs presenter supposedly, asks Welsh singer Shaheen about his heritage. "I'm half Iranian and the rest of me is Welsh," explains the nervous child protege. "So, you were born in London?" enquires Larry ignorantly, having clearly never seen a map of the UK. Shaheen politely corrects him but gets a little tongue-tied, "no, I was born in Wales, a small country in London." Bless. Seems us Brits need to listen harder in our geography lessons too... Thanks to Shaheen's nervous blooper, several million Americans now think Wales is a country in London!

Tit-bits of telly goss this week...

• Janet Street-Porter got kicked by a cow whilst filming The F Word. She was not amused. But we think it’s hilarious.

• Alesha Dixon currently filming a new documentary for BBC3 about absent Fathers… and no, it’s not going to be called Strictly Come Raise Your Kids.

• Jo Frost, aka Super Nanny, is about to start filming a new C4 series with Outline. In the new series, Jo will face kids aged 3-15 in a kind of parenting road show. She'll talk to parents across the country to find out what is worrying them about their family life, meeting kids with conditions such as SED (Serious Emotional Disturbance). I think most parents would argue their kids have this condition... And according to a totally unreliable source (Wikipedia), she will take the role of Madame Morrible in the London production of the musical, Wicked, next year. A fitting role for the Anne Robinson of child care.

Don't switch channels during the adverts...

Media Savvy can't wait for this gem of a commercial to hit our screens.

Yet another reality show couple get divorced...

What will ITV2 commission next to replace Katie & Peter: The Next Chapter STATESIDE? How about...

• Peter and Chantelle: ESSEXSIDE
• Katie vs. Peter: Custody Battle of the Century
• Katie & Peter: Divorced and Happily Ever After

Katie and Pete join the likes of Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears and Hulk Hogan - all of whom have embarked on the reality show dream with their other half only to have their marriages crumble on screen.

My money is on Kerry Katona and Mark Croft next...
