OKAY so it's old news now but I'd be mad not to mention Judy Finnigan's national display of her wares on the NATIONAL TELEVISION AWARDS, GRANADA, Tuesday.

Poor Judy. She'd got all dolled up for t'do - nice new black frock an' all - and you can just imagine what happened before she left the house.

Could she find her black bra? Could she heck as like. And there was Richard, preening in the hall mirror and shouting "come on Judy love, taxis 'ere". So she probably did what all women have done some time or other, rummaged at the bottom of the laundry basket to retrieve that old, but comfy off-white bra you usually save for those 'at home' days. Because, well, no-one would see it. Would they?

And just one last note on the awards. What is the attraction with Michael Barrymore? Isn't it time he was put out to seed? I certainly think so.

JUST as I thought, THE CLIFF RICHARD STORY, GRANADA, Tuesday contained absolutely no surprises about the 60-year-old warbler.

Apart from one that is. Elton John revealed that he'd once stayed up 'till 6am after drinking alcohol with Cliff. Ooh, he's a devil woman in't 'e? Sorry, devil man then.

I'VE been a lifelong fan of Corrie so you can imagine my excitement when I discovered there was an hour-long special of the soap, CORONATION STREET, GRANADA, Wednesday.

The Freshco crew were going to be held hostage by a couple of gun wielding youths. I couldn't wait.

However, half way through this so-called "gripping" episode I got up to make a cuppa. And it wasn't even the interval! This was Coronation Street at it's worst. I've said it before and I'll say it again, whenever they bring bit-part actors into the street, the acting's hammier than Babe himself.

But what I found absolutely incredible was Curly's revelation that there was 20 grand in the safe. Where did that come from? There's never any customers in Freshco, just bad acting extras stocking the shelves with special offers. Still, the robbers couldn't get to it because it had an overnight lock. So what did they all do to while away the time? They had a barbecue of course which was the programme's saving grace. Corrie always pulls out its tongue in cheek script when the chips are down.

And hands up those of you who WEREN'T surprised to find Curly's love Emma in the armed response unit. I mean she'd been training with guns for, ooh, at least 20 minutes last week.

FAT FRIENDS, GRANADA, Thursday was the latest offering from the pen of Kay Mellor and, as usual, it didn't disappoint.

For every woman who's battled with her conscience when eating a family-size packet of crisps, this series is the icing on a large, and very delicious, cream cake.

WHO wants to be a millionaire? Well I do for one although, after watching DYNASTY: THE GETTY'S, GRANADA, Thursday, I'm not so sure anymore.
