‘Name That Tune’ comes to Five

The popular 70′s television show, Name That Tune is to be revived it has been revealed.

The show that was originally hosted by Tom O’ Connor is to be remade by commercial network Five. The show will be co-produced by Geordie duo Ant and Dec but the presenters have not yet been confirmed.

It is not the first time Five have brought back the game show. In the late 90′s, Jools Holland presented an updated version.

So what do you think? Is the revival a good idea or are too many old shows being brought back, leaving less room for new ones? Let me know in the poll below.

Retune tomorrow!

Don’t forget to retune your freeview service tomorrow (Wednesday 30 September) if you have one. If you do not you could lose access to Five, ITV3, ITV4 and some BBC Radio Channels, and we wouldn’t want that would we?

THE HOTTEST PLACE ON EARTH

Kate Humble, Steve Leonard and the team in Ethiopia

BBC ONE 9:00 PM

This two part series concludes tonight and last week we got a real insight into life in the Danakil Desert in Ethopia where relationships with humans and animals is one of the most important things. Tonight Kate Humble, Steve Leonard and the team find out more about life in such a harsh climate. How do families survive in what has been officially recognised as the hottest place in the world?

 

TROPHY KIDS

CHANNEL 4 9:00 PM

I have seen a few cases like this before and the programme would be better suited with a name like ‘Pushy Parents.’ The Cutting Edge documentary profiles the parents that give up jobs in order to ensure their children achieve sporting success. Some cash in on their savings in a desperate bid for success. But can parents go a bit too far sometimes and do the children always share the same passion for success as their mums and dads?

What To Watch – Tuesday 24th March

MISTRESSES

BBC ONE 9:00 PM

I really don’t want this series to come to an end and hope it will be back next year. The explosive finale tonight exposes Katie and Jack’s affair but who will be the ones to find out? Also tonight Jess contemplates life a single mum as her marriage is still in tatters. Trudi also has a decision to make, does she go back to Richard or stay with her new love interest, her work colleague. Meanwhile can Siobhan mend her marriage and will Hari be able to forgive her? Sounds like a fitting finale for such a compelling drama. Tune in tonight to find out what happens.

 

HOLLOWAY

ITV1 9:00 PM

If Mistresses isn’t your thing then maybe Holloway will be slightly more appealing. The second in the three-part run goes behind the scenes at the women’s prison and sheds some light on prison life. Tonight, inmates that self-harm in order to escape their life behind bars. This is a thought-provoking and sometimes quite shocking insight into the life on some of the offenders, particularly the younger ones.

 

THE LION CUB FROM HARRODS

FIVE 8:00 PM

This documentary tells the story of two Australians that bought a lion cub from Harrods in 1969. They raised the cub and it was treated it as if it were their child. However when it became too large, the lion had to be released into the wild in Kenya. Years on the reunion is a YouTube hit and you can watch it above. It is phenomenal how the lion acts towards the two. It just shows what a good upbringing can do!
