The Good – The Old Grey Whistle Test is back! Only a few weeks after blogging about the severe lack of serious music TV shows, the BBC have announced the OGWT is to return to our screens. …What's that? …Radio?
Oh, apparently the show's reanimation will be limited to the radio. A radio music show then, presented by Bob Harris. Completely different from Bob Harris' current music radio show then. Whatever the idea is behind it, it'll be interesting to see if the show eventually migrates back to the box.

The Bad – Getting attacked by a leopard. Today's Guardian has pictures of an unfortunate forest guard getting attacked by a wild leopard in a small Indian town. Makes you wonder (well, it makes me wonder) about the days when leopard attacks were a very real threat in general life. There you are, skipping up the street (mud path) to the shops (pond), just thinking about how flat the world is and wondering how the rain gets in the sky when bam! A leopard jumps out and bites you on the face.
No insurance, no painkillers, nothing. In fact, you'd have to spend half an hour collecting firewood just to have a cup of tea and recuperate. What an absolute nightmare that would be. And lack of sugar! Hadn't even thought of that... What about milk?

| Downing Street, yesterday. George Osborne begins to feel the strain of the economic downturn. |
And the Archer – Relatively new adult animation series Archer is an inspired find by my housemate. Charting the international jet setting high-jinx of the loveable floundering narcissist Sterling Archer and his band of equally inept colleagues, this cheeky little show is full of belly laughs and rye sniggers.
The flippant, saucy script is backed up by some nice animation and character design, while the gags fly betwixt witticisms and the occasional slapstick moment.
Highly recommended for Adult Swim fans, or those with a wicked sense of humour.
