Totty to zero

Channel 4 really needs ideas. I saw the hardly epic Zero to Hero today that is a clone of and just after (in a rub it in way) Scrapheap Challenge.

While Challenge is more about abject failure (like the sinking today) and things going kaputsey on people (and the oh so shaggable Tyler Harcott (shirtless Tyler here), while Hero is an attempt to appeal to the comicbook crowd. Sadly Hero is total pants. It is hosted by the oh so irritating Trey 'if that was the fastest sperm what were the others like' Farely and it's contestants are make David Beckham look like bright. When presented with a motor and asked what it was they didn't know. A herring? The Red Army?

Fortunately it does have one saving grace (well for me at least) and that is Jem (medieval form of James) Stansfield of Science Shack fame (left in this picture) who is not only cute and clever but it looks like he's buffed up a bit.

Sadly the dressing up to be a 'superhero' business might just work as a game on a kid's TV show but doesn't work for ten let alone thirty minutes.

Jem slowly getting undressed would though.

I also saw Newlyweds with Nick 'd'oh' Lachey (Drew is so much cuter) and Jessica Simpson. Please tell me they aren't going to breed.

Plot summary: Jessica who makes a living dancing on stage with cute chaps is upset that hubby Nick who hasn't got braincells to rub together will be attracted to the dancers he will be using on a video shoot and at a live show (she's attending). Loads of angst and bitching. Nick takes his much cuter (but half size) brother Drew to the audition. Jessica rocks up (adding a bit of Northern venacular) and more angst. Everything turns out alright in the end.
