Exclusive: ViacomCBS-owned Channel 5 has raided the BBC again — this time securing the services of The Repair Shop star Jay Blades for new returnable series The Streets Where I Lived.
Produced by Hungry Jay Media, Blades’ joint-venture with The Wheel producer Hungry Bear Media, the three-part series follows the presenter as he delves into his past, revisiting his previous homes in east London, exploring their history and the people who lived in them.

Exclusive: The BBC is lining up a new game show from the team behind The Weakest Link and Tipping Point where, unlike the lottery, contestants hope their balls stay in the bag.
The British public broadcaster has commissioned Danger Balls from Mighty Productions, the company behind Rick Edwards-fronted !mpossible (above).
The game show, where only the last ball left in play at the end wins the big cash prize, features three teams of two who’ve each been allocated five numbered balls. As the balls are picked from the bag at random the teams must answer questions to eliminate an opponent’s ball or save their own. The show also has compelling moments of strategy. Will the players cash in their balls when given the chance or hold out and hope for the big money, even though it could mean leaving with nothing?

Sandi Toksvig has claimed that she was rejected as the original host of Have I Got News For You because she was a woman.
The presenter and comedian revealed in an interview with Radio Times that she was overlooked for the position in favour of Angus Deayton in 1990 because the BBC decided it "couldn't have a woman in charge".
Speaking about auditioning for the show, Toksvig said: "They made two pilots, one with me and one with Angus Deayton.
"I was told by the producers that they preferred my version, but the channel decided they couldn't have a woman in charge."

In an interview with the Daily Mail, the presenter said: "I was very proud of the programme. I was there at its foundation and I was part of its evolution. A massive chunk of my life was going to be taken away."
He added: "And, of course, it precipitated an awful decline. It became the worst year of my life."

TV presenter Kate Humble and comedian Jason Byrne have been confirmed as presenters for Sky1's new wildlife-themed entertainment programme Wild Things.
The gameshow, which was commissioned in August, features couples or pairs of relations undertaking challenges on a huge woodland obstacle course in order to win a fortune of gold coins buried within the Wild Wood.
However, there is a twist in that one member of the team must become the Wild Thing, meaning they must wear a woodland protection suit which is designed to look like an animal native to the area, such as an owl, a duck or a mole.
This means that they cannot see anything and will need their partner to guide them to victory.
Humble said of her role: "Wild Things is one of the most gloriously silly, side-splittingly funny programmes I have ever had the pleasure of being involved with. Wildlife has never behaved so badly.
The gameshow, which was commissioned in August, features couples or pairs of relations undertaking challenges on a huge woodland obstacle course in order to win a fortune of gold coins buried within the Wild Wood.
However, there is a twist in that one member of the team must become the Wild Thing, meaning they must wear a woodland protection suit which is designed to look like an animal native to the area, such as an owl, a duck or a mole.
This means that they cannot see anything and will need their partner to guide them to victory.
Humble said of her role: "Wild Things is one of the most gloriously silly, side-splittingly funny programmes I have ever had the pleasure of being involved with. Wildlife has never behaved so badly.

Kate Humble has urged everyone to try stripping off naked in the outdoors. The 'Lambing Live' presenter revealed getting naked whilst holidaying in the Wakhi region of Afghanistan made her feel liberated and ''at one with nature''. She exclusively told Bang Showbiz: ''I can't explain it, but I do urge you to give it a go. ''There are certain places in the world that are just very beautiful and there's something celebratory and primeval about just taking off all your clothes and having a dance.''

Kate Humble thinks reality TV stars are ''sad''. The wildlife television presenter has been asked to appear on numerous reality shows, including 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' several times, but has, and always will, say no because she hates the genre. Kate exclusively told Bang Showbiz: ''I'm not a celebrity and I don't want to get out of here. I'm not interested in being on television so that people can walk down the street and go, 'Oh, that's the girl from 'I'm A Celebrity...'. I find it very sad that there are people that feel they are...

Eddie Izzard is to star in an upcoming BBC Two science drama.
The comic actor will portray radar developer Robert Watson Watt in the one-off film Castles in the Sky.
The film will centre around the Scotsman's flight to invent the detection system with a group of British scientists.
Breaking Bad's Laura Fraser will play Izzard's wife Margaret, while other cast members will include Alex Jennings (The Queen), Tim McInnerny (Blackadder) as Winston Churchill, David Hayman (Trial And Retribution) and Julian Rhind-Tutt (Green Wing).
Izzard said of the project: "I feel very privileged to be playing the role of Robert Watson-Watt. Hopefully our production will allow him, along with Arnold 'Skip' Wilkins and their team, to finally take their places in the pantheon of British greats of World War II, as the inventors of radar."
Elsewhere, BBC Two has also commissioned a new five-part series titled Human Universe, presented by Professor Brian Cox.

BBC 2 and BBC 4 are not, at first glance, providing huge beefy slabs of geek-meat for us to sink our teeth into. However, we like to think we cover a broad remit here at Den of Geek, and you can be a geek about anything. Personally, I think there's overlap between arguments over as 'the Doctor's race and/or gender' and 'the squad numbers worn by Colin Hendry during his time at Rangers F.C.'.

State Senator Wendy Davis put on a marathon filibuster in the Texas state house Tuesday (June 25) in an attempt to block SB5, a bill that would make abortion clinic requirements in Texas so stringent that it would force all but five in the state to close.
The filibuster ended two hours shy of midnight, the constitutionally-mandated end to the legislative session, after strict rule interpretations by Republican senators and three rules of order finally stopped her, including speaking about a sonogram bill, which the Republicans deemed not "germane" to the filibuster.
A near-riot followed in the state house, with chaos erupting from the gallery as the clock ticked down to midnight and no vote had been completed on the bill. Republicans have admitted that SB5 did not get passed in time.

Movies about geeks have never been particularly flattering. Even in films like Revenge of the Nerds where the nerds win the day, there is plenty of dramatic license taken to make them badass so they can win the girl. But stories that cut to the heart of geekdom and reveal what true nerdery is all about? Those are extremely rare. It's even rarer when you find yourself pulling for the geek at the heart of those stories, despite everything else.
Luckily this year at SXSW we stumbled across Zero Charisma, a film about a gamemaster struggling to keep his RPG campaign alive after losing one of the main players. But problems arise when he has to battle with the replacement for popularity, and his world begins to unravel. The entire movie hinges on the fantastic performance of Sam Eidson as Scott Weidemeyer, and while he might seem a bit over the top,...
