What's on this year...


TV In 2006

With a fairly lacklustre festive season of TV, it's time to get excited by some of the new stuff starting in 2006.

Top of the list have to be the new series of Desperate Housewives and The OC, but there's also Project Catwalk, Celebrity Big Brother, Doctor Who, costume drama The Virgin Queen and Cilla's latest project, Soapstar Superstar.

Think it's time to order a big, comfy sofa...

January

Desperate Housewives Series 2, Channel 4/ E4
Lynette's at work, leaving Tom to mind the kids. Bree buries Rex and has to contend with his mother. Edie dates Susan's ex-husband and new neighbour Betty has a rather large skeleton that's about to come out of her closet.

Celebrity Big Brother, Channel 4/ E4
Thought to be lighting up the house this time round are Anna Nicole Smith, Boy George, Gillian McKeith, Most Haunted's Derek Acorah, Johnny Vegas and Jimmy and Lisa Tarbuck.

Soapstar Superstar

Project Catwalk, Sky One
Liz Hurley is the mistress of ceremonies as Project Catwalk challenges aspiring fashion designers to earn their big break in January. Julien Macdonald, Ben de Lisi, Erin O'Connor, Frost French and Patrick Cox will all lend their expertise. A shortlist of 12 designers will face weekly challenges, until three finalists are chosen. Each will showcase their full line on the catwalk at London Fashion Week in February, and the winning designer's work will appear in Elle magazine. A parallel competition offers models the chance to become the designer's muses.

Bones, Sky One
David 'Angel' Boreanaz teams up with anthropologist Dr Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel), in a kind of Waking The Dead meets X Files, to read clues in the bones of victims too badly burned, decomposed or destroyed to be recognisable. Edgy, with great chemistry between Boreanaz and Deschanel.

Close To Home, Living TV
Hot-shot lawyer Jennifer Finnigan has her first baby and struggles trying to balance a heavy-duty workload at court with sorting out her breast pump.

http://static.sky.com/images/pictures/1362229.jpg

http://static.sky.com/images/pictures/1362227.jpg
Close To Home

She'll rate 10 actors: ex-Enders Nicholas Bailey (Dr Trueman) and Michael Greco (Beppe); Corrie's Richard Fleeshman (Craig Harris), Shobna Gulati (Sunita), Wendi Peters (Cilla Battersby) and Andy Whyment (Kirk Sutherland); Emmerdale's Roxanne Pallett (Jo Stiles), Lucy Pargeter (Chastity) and Sammy Winward (Katie Sugden); and Hollyoaks' Lee Otway (Bombhead).

The Virgin Queen, BBC1
Anne-Marie Duff (Shameless) plays Elizabeth I from young girl to titanic monarch in a full-on BBC costume drama. Can't wait.

Battlestar Galactica Series 2, Sky One
In last season's cliffhanger ending, Commander Adama was left fighting for his life after being shot by Boomer, a Cyclon clone. Now in Series Two, he returns to duty a changed man, as civil war looks to be inevitable.

Kelly Brook will star in The Moving Finger and David Soul and Stephanie Beacham are expected to appear in The Mirror Crack'd.

http://static.sky.com/images/pictures/1362231.jpg

Lost

Paul McKenna Can Make You Thin, Sky One
This Christmas you can eat what you want, guilt-free. From January the weight's coming off and Britain will become a thinner nation.

Hotel Babylon, BBC1
Billed as a "tantalising and seductive insight into the sexy world of a luxury five-star hotel", Tamzin Outhwaite and Max Beesley should make an interesting pairing in this drama.

My Name Is Earl, Channel 4
Very funny comedy starring a Golden Globe-nominated Jason Lee as a nitwit crook who decides to atone for every sin he's committed (all 258 of them).

REST OF THE YEAR

March 2006

The Oscars, Sky One
Will it be a night of gay cowboys? Will Brokeback Mountain triumph or could King Kong give it a good run? Watch the action live from early Monday 6, with a highlights package in the evening.

Hell's Kitchen Series 3, ITV1
Having dumped Gordon Ramsay, bosses obviously decided there were too many chefs so Gary Rhodes is out for the third series, leaving the yummy Jean-Christophe Novelli manning the stove alone. And the celebs are BACK after a series of plebs cooking - contenders being looked at include Faria Alam and Bobby Davro.

Summer 2006

Big Brother 7, Channel 4/ E4
Speaking for ourselves we're getting pretty tired of BB but who knows, maybe this year it'll be revitalised. Expect it to fill the summer weeks as usual.

Autumn 2006

Extras Series 2, BBC2
Daniel Radcliffe, Tom Cruise and even Madonna are being touted for parts in the new series of Ricky Gervais' most excellent Extras. Shame we have no clue when it's going to be on yet!

Lost Series 2, Channel 4/ E4
We really don't know much about when Series 2 is on other than it's 'late 2006'. There are plenty of spoilers online but we're not going to ruin your fun by printing them here either. So you really are lost until series two...

Holby City, BBC1
Patsy Kensit is thought to have taken a pay cut to join the London-based hospital drama from October from t'Dales, where her role as superbitch Sadie King took the soap to No.2. Holby City said: "Her character will come into the show as a nurse who has more than a few secrets to hide and an attitude that cannot fail to ruffle the feathers of her colleagues."

I'm A Celebrity? Get Me Out Of Here! No.6, ITV1
This show goes from strength to strength. Who's going to be eating kangaroo testicles this year?

Donald just not the same as Alan..... I must admit I was slightly attracted to him in a weird sort of way...... Alan Sugar that is not Donald Trump!

[Z]

It's degenerated into loads of Reality Shows, but I'm not complaining!

[Foebane100]

If you think TV is crap how do you think I feel I'm stuck with only BBC1, BBC2, ITV and Channel 4. Freeview is unavailable in this area and can't get a satellite either.

[sol]

TV is awful at the moment for me, nothing interests me on telly now apart from Gillette Soccer Saturday, and the odd 'What the HM's did next' shows. :rolleyes:

[James]

The BBC have brought back Nationwide in the form of 'The One Show' by the looks of it. :sad:

It makes me turn the channel the minute it comes on.

Third series of the US Apprentice is on BBC 2 every night by the looks of it... watched the first one last night.

Adding to my comment above... I'm actually enjoying the X Factor and Little Miss Jocelyn a lot lately, which for some reason I completely forgot about. :conf:
