Gambling On Ice ... with viewers affections.

I don't know about you, but Dancing on Ice was the easy-going wind down, post Christmas post Strictly Come Dancing, light entertainment show you could chill out to (sorry, bad pun!) enjoy the great skating, lightly snigger to (in a good and suportive way) at the bad, in the company of the ever young and fun Phil, pretty Holly and the legendary and respected Torvill & Dean and Robin Cousins.

So why are they turning it into Big Brother? Far from being Sunday night cosy family TV, the insider "quote" suggested they want the contestants bitching and backstabbing, culminating in them voting off a couple in the bottom two, giving the negative reasons why they're sending them home. It's all "Will they send home who they see as competition; will they save their best mate." Going by the papers (I know, I know, can't believe all you read) the contestants themselves aren't best pleased to be placed in such a situation.

I can understand that TV programmes like to refresh occasionally - but what's wrong with the contestants saving who they think deserves to be saved for positive reasons? Like I said, it's on in the family tea time slot for a reason, there are many children watching - is this the example we want set?

You never hear the Strictly contestants, Bruce, Tess or Claudia being anything other than supportive to each other - I'm puzzled at to what Dancing on Ice thinks the negative behaviour of the contestants will achieve. If they're looking for a bigger share of ratings, they might find it backfiring - if the contestants aren't seen to care about each other, why should we care about them?

Snippets: Strictly Come Dancing, X-Factor, Let's Dance for Comic Relief, Got To Dance

Bruce Forsyth was honoured at the NTA's... and then proceeded to frighten the life out of Tess, who could be seen to utter something along the lines of: Don't do that to me, Brucie!

He'd accepted the Special Recognition Award and said: This would be a good night to announce my retirement (the collective gasps were heard throughout the nation) ... but I'm not bloody going to!

X-Factor picked up the Talent Show Award, which Simon Cowell promptly dedicated to a show producer, Shue Green, who'd beaten cancer this year.

Steve Jones will be joined by Alex Jones for this year's Let's Dance for Comic Relief, with Claudia being too busy with Film 2011. Celebrities lining up are: Noel Fielding; Penny Smith; Rebecca Front; designers Colin and Justin; Russell Kane; Andi Osho and Ed Byrne! Routines will include Crazy in Love, Bad and I Love To Boogie (Billy Elliot).

Sky have launched a voting app on I-phone for Got To Dance and the top 28 have been revealed, with the first semi on Sunday at 6pm.

Glee: Finding their religion

And in a complete change to last week ... Finn finds religion - in a grilled cheese sarnie - but Kurt's anti-religious views affect the club, specially when his dad suffers a heart attack and lapses into a coma. The last thing his dad said to Kurt was that he was disappointed in him for snubbing the family dinner. (He comes round at the end)

As Sue says (To Kurt, re Glee Club): I mess around with you guys for fun; it aids digestion!

Songs of the night: Only the Good Die Young (Puck); I Look To You (Mercedes); Papa Can you Hear Me (Rachel); I Wanna Hold Your Hand (Kurt - have a hanky ready); Losing My Religion (Finn - it had to happen - after praying to win their soccer game/grope Rachel/be quarterback again, the injury to the existing quarterback makes him guilty!) Bridge Over Troubled Water (Mercedes) and What If God Were One of Us (All).

South Bank Sky Arts Award: The Dorchester Outstanding Achievement

An almost reverential silence greeted Oscar winning actress Dame Judi Dench in the press room, after she was honoured with The Dorchester Outstanding Achievement award, for a 50 year career that sees her remain at the top of her field.

Sir Peter Hall, who first worked with Dame Judi in a 1962 production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, presented her with the award.

Dame Judi gave an emotional acceptance speech, in which she said she was overwhelmed to receive the award - and hoped it didn't mean she had to finish now!

South Bank Sky Arts Award: Film

Harry Potter star, Rupert Grint, presented the award for Best Film to director Gareth Edwards, for his low budget sci-fi disaster/romantic road trip movie Monsters. The budget was reportedly less than £200,000 and the film beat off a challenge from Mike Leigh's Another Year and Clio Barnard's The Arbor. Gareth is on the left in the photos, I never did find out who the other chap was, so I'm calling him Daniel ... you'll 'guess' why if you've got kids!

South Bank Sky Arts Award: Theatre and Literature

Critics favourite Clybourne Park at The Royal Court were presented with the Theatre Award by Richard Griffiths. In a strong year for original theatre, the nominees beaten by Clybourne were Earthquakes in London, National Theatre and Ruined, Almeida Theatre.

The Literature award was presented by Mariella Frostrup to Candia McWilliam for What To Look For in Winter: A Memoir in Blindness. Other nominees were The Hare With Amber Eyes by Edmund de Waal and Sex and Stravinsky by Barbara Trapido.

South Bank Sky Arts Award: Classical Music

The BBC Philharmonic and the Halle for Mahler's 8th Symphony triumphed over Liverpool Philharmonic (Mahler's 1st, 2nd ad 3rd) and As With Voices and with Tears, the recent work of new composer Tansy Davies, performed at Portsmouth Cathedral by Portsmouth Grammar School Chamber Choir, London Mozart Players and Andrew Cleary. Nigel Kennedy presented.
