Adam Rayner IS Peter Griffin on DVDfever's Youtube channel...
Very recently on Breakfast, motoring journalist Adam Rayner was talking about
speed cameras and while the earlier clip featured him trying to amusingly stifle
some burps, the later one with his hair, white shirt and green trousers made
him the spitting image of Peter Griffin from Family Guy! Excellent!
Also uploaded recently are Breakfast and GMTV clips about the Doctor Who Xmas
show launch night - and if you missed it, then it's repeated on New Years's Day
on BBC1 at 2.15pm, and there's many classic Breakfast and GMTV clips including
Penny Smith being proud of her puppies, Penny snuggling up to a rugby team
(well, not really), Penny commenting on the X-Factor winner to which Fiona
adds that she, herself, has an annoying voice, and Sian Williams talking about
'farting' (when she meant fighting) and that she was 'going down'.
A bit later than usual this week, but then the new releases didn't come out
until today, anyway, and most people will be down the sales anyway so is there
a market for high-ish-priced new releases?

Stuck for something to do this weekend? The list of the films showing at
Manchester Showcase Cinema
can be found on this page, and won't differ much from what's on in the rest
of the country.
The new films out include: Alvin & The Chipmunks and St Trinian's.
And it's a contender for album of the year, according to
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer, Elly Roberts
so take a trip amongst the band's experimental ethereal soundscapes and
enjoy...
The release dates for singles go up until mid-February
with albums also until February 2008.
KT Tunstall in four parts on DVDfever's Youtube channel...
Music hottie KT Tunstall appeared on Breakfast recently teaching sports
reporter Chris Hollins how to play the guitar, and to also promote a new
website on the subject, and appeared three times on Breakfast that day.
Here, her moments are in four pieces as the third one went on too long to be
kept in one piece, but it's all there...
Chris Rea, Morcheeba & The Corrs: A triple treat on CD just ahead of Xmas...
It's not long to go before Xmas and if you're still in need of a great treat
for a friend or relative then one of these three CDs is for you, with around
50 tracks apiece for around a tenner, from Chris Rea, Morcheeba and The Corrs,
as
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer, Elly Roberts
will testify.
Stuck for something to do this weekend? The list of the films showing at
Manchester Showcase Cinema
can be found on this page, and won't differ much from what's on in the rest
of the country.
The new films out include: Enchanted, Bee Movie, We Own The Night and Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium.
Beirut's the right desination for a fantastic new CD...
They're far from a household name, but according to
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer, Elly Roberts,
of all the albums reviewed this year, this is the most enchanting and
fascinating of the lot. It's twelve tracks of pure genius that he confirms
you will not be disappointed with.
Last year he released Project 8 and this time round he's out in his
Proving Ground, which allows you to build tracks and then test them
out as well as performing a large number of challenges and generally having a
ball, but is it much different from the average Tony Hawk release?
time.
Become Gordon Freeman again in Half Life 2 Episode 2 on Xbox 360...
And there's not just that great new game to this release, as the long-awaited
'Orange Box' includes a fantastic puzzle game called Portal, a new
multiplayer onliner caller Team Fortress 2, plus the original Half
Life 2 and Half Life 2 Episode 1 games - both now in HD for the first
time.
There's not a great deal of interesting stuff to watch on TV that you haven't
seen before, but if you're going to dig out a real classic, then it's this
Beatles film from 1965, directed by Richard Lester, now out on DVD,
which
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer, Elly Roberts
really enjoys and he confirms it was released at the height of their
iconic period of that year.
Lorraine Kelly says breasts are getting bigger on DVDfever's Youtube channel...
On Lorraine Kelly's LK Today show recently, she had a segment about how too
many women are wearing ill-fitting bras and the expert on hand, Jane Kenton,
tells Lorraine how her breasts are 'talking in the middle' because they're
bunched up together :)
Since I've had to start re-uploading tons of stuff as the previous account was
closed, recent additions to this one includes Andrew Marre talking about bottoms
on last Sunday's show that bears his name, Annabel Tiffin presenting the Politics
Show in the North West and dropping an "Oh Christ!" as a guest says the wrong
thing, KT Tunstall on GMTV, Thaila Zucchi's latest Setanta Sports trailer,
and a piece on Working Lunch about the new game Kane & Lynch: Dead Men.
As DVDfever.co.uk reviewer, Elly Roberts
confirms, Clare Teal has risen to the top very quickly as a singer and not
only is this her second album of co-compositions and cover versions, but she
also has her own show on Radio 2. Find out why she's a hit.
The new competitions online are as follows, including one more added today:
Heroes Complete Season 1 (DVD)
Kengo Zero (Xbox 360)
Paul McCartney: The McCartney Years (DVD)
Modern Toss Series 1 (DVD)
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo Wii)
Unreal Tournament 3 (PC DVD-ROM)
Updated cinema listings...
Stuck for something to do this weekend? The list of the films showing at
Manchester Showcase Cinema
can be found on this page, and won't differ much from what's on in the rest
of the country.
The new films out include: The Golden Compass, Codename: The Cleaner, He Was a Quiet Man and A Very British Gangster.
All three films are now out on DVD and in addition to the official game of the
film being out to play, there's also this new addition in which you can kick
and punch to oblivion with baddies aplenty as you get to choose whether you
work together with Spidey's friends or his foes...
He's more well-known for his appparent sex life, when it comes to all the media
talk about, but as his recent Ponderland series on Channel 4 proved, he's
very good when it comes to observational comedy, and there's some decent
extras on this disc too.
Her first new album since her return to the pop scene following her battle
with cancer, but according to
DVDfever.co.uk reviewer, Elly Roberts
it's not a great one, but what will you make of the 13 tracks here for your
viewing pleasure?
Dermot says Kate is gagging for it on DVDfever's Youtube channel...
On Breakfast recently, they had a segment about arranged marriages, and Dermot
practically accused Kate Silverton of being single and desperate and would only
sleep with a man if she was blind drunk and gagging for it, as her speechlessness
proves. It's a classic clip!
Oh, and thanks to the total bastards of one particular set of programmes,
who spat their dummy out over some of the interviews I posted online, they
complained and Youtube shut down the channel...
So... I opened a new one, and am slowly uploading all the classic bloopers
that were on the first one, as well as some of the interviews that were there
previously, but not all of them for obvious reasons.
So, please subscribe to the new one and keep checking for some great stuff
coming up, including how Andrew Marre's always finding bottoms in the Sunday
papers...
