A Couple Of Shows To Tide You Over...

Fans are now 'chomping at the bit' for Big Brother 4 and the good news is that there's less than a month to go until the new series hits our screens.

In the meantime, here's a couple of shows that may be of interest to Big Bro fans:

ITV have just begun a second series of 'I'm A Celebrity... GET ME OUT OF HERE!', the charity show that involved eight D-List celebs being thrown together in the Jungle to survive one another's company.

The 10-day show was a great success and viewers got to witness a whole load of arguing, bitching, tantrums and frankly, complete and utter cr*p coming from the mouth if Uri Geller!

This time around there are ten celebs, including:

Antony Worrall Thompson - Chirpy TV chef and restraunteur.
Catalina Guirado - Model and alleged actress that no-one (except perhaps teenage boys) has really heard of.
Chris Bisson - Actor who played dodgy Vikram Desai in Corrie. Also starred in the movie East Is East.
Daniella Westbrook - Ex-Eastenders actress, arguably more famous for having her nose fall apart!
John Fashanu - Controversial ex-footballer and Gladiators presenter, now a businessman.
Linda Barker - Interior designer, known from the popular BBC show Changing Rooms. Also writes for certain newspapers and is a published author.
Phil Tufnell - A renowned cricketer; has just retired to pursue a TV career. A charismatic but sometimes controversial guy.
Sian Lloyd - 'Posh' ITV weather presenter, aka weather girl.
Toyah Willcox - Diminutive 'ex-punk' 80's pop star. Still singing, Toyah is also an actress, writer and TV presenter.
Wayne Sleep - Only slightly less diminutive 'camp' ballet dancer; tours with his own company. A real live wire.

Frankly, just 6 months on from the first series, we thought we'd be a bit jaded this time around. However, having seen the first night's coverage (Monday 28th April), the contestant group looks fairly interesting and things are looking good for an entertaining series.

So, who'll be the source of friction and feuds, who'll provide the laughs? Tune in to ITV for next two weeks to find out.

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! runs nightly for the next two weeks and aside from the usual coverage on ITV and ITV2, there'll also be live streaming available throughout the series on ITV2, just like Big Brother.

The other show we wanted to tell you about is 'Office Monkey'.

This brand new concept is a 'hidden camera' show where two employees from a real office are recruited each week to basically play-up and cause havoc in the office.

The thing is, apart from the company owner, none of the other staff know that it's a set up and are bound to be bemused or even outraged at some of the things the two competing 'contestants' get up to.

In a twist that would make BBC's 'The Office' manager David Brent proud, the Monkey's mission is to turn the workplace into one big joke, but stay on the side of the boss and avoid getting sacked.

It sounds like a right laugh and we'll definitely be tuning in to watch all 10 episodes, set to air weekly until the beginning of July.

Office Monkey is exclusive to ITV2 and begins tonight, Tuesday the 29th April 2003. See TV guides for programming information on both the above-mentioned shows.
