The good, the bad and the... No.3

"I'll tell you what's magic, that isn't even my hand..."

The Good: Penn and Teller's Fool Us. This is an example of TV using a little bit of imagination and coming up with a decent show – was it really so difficult? The magical duo stand aside for a brief period to allow under the radar magicians to shine, and if their tricks manage to fool the best in the business (that's Pen and Teller, in case you didn't know), they get a slot on the pair's Vegas show. So far, all the pretenders have been of an impressive quality, with a few stars of the future in the mix. Why it's taken so long for a half-decent entertainment show to come along is anyone's guess, but I'm blaming the oppressive Ant and Dec regime.

Look at all your tweets!

The Bad: Well, it probably could have gone into the good section, but the unending spinage of everything and anything Adele will have to take a break for a while, as the shouty songstress announces a bit of a break before her next recording. Not that I'm saying she can't sing, but come on. Her music has reached official plague status with its ubiquity. In fact, I even found the end of one track at the bottom of that drawer at home that no one looks in. The one with the screwdriver, bookies pen and old letters that came to the wrong address.

"It's alright Larry, I could get a bus in there..."

The nostalgic: Yes, it's the final curtain for the Space Shuttle Atlantis, which is scheduled to launch for the last time on Friday after 30 years flying into space, apparently. I say apparently because despite being interested in all things astronomical, I can't say with any great certainty what the Space Shuttle was for. Apart from looking like the smart car version of a jet and having a big robot arm, I believe it mostly just did maintenance and cost $8.3 squillion dollars. Still, maybe the replacement (if there ever is one) will look a bit more like the Millennium Falcon and we'll all be happy.
