MANDY REVIEW: Diane Morgan must be told of Diane Morgan's ultimate 'bad influence,' the kind of person your parents warned you about. She converts Graham Norton into a paid killer first and then demands Michaela Strachan say the F-word. After stealing a ladder from a steeplejack, Morgan, as her chain-smoking alter ego Mandy (BBC2), was up a church spire. A flock of 'great crested eagle' eggs fell into her barnet as she removed a bird's nest. In virtually every version of Springwatch, this sort of thing occurs, but Michaela (hiding in a nearby tree) was agog when the first chick hatched. She gasped, 'I never thought I'd see one of those.' 'But what the £@&% is it doing in her hair?' Chris Packham, please cover your ears.

On the same night when Prince William was still speaking and giving out awards at the Science Museum in London, the couple revealed Archewell's winner of a $100,000 civil rights award in the United States. The Sussexes took a leaf out of Kanye West and Bianca Censori's playbook by 'causing confusion left, right, and center,' according to the company's chief. The fact that Royal PRs were 'blindsided' by her intervention tells a lot about the 'chaos at the Palace,' according to the public relations veteran. Kate Middleton's Photoshop blunder and mea culpa will also have assisted them due to the amount of royal press coverage this week, according to Brand and Culture Consultant Nick Ede. This week, he said that the scandal surrounding the Mother's Day portrait this week was 'welcome timing for Meghan's portrait and good news for her and the brand.'

Magic formulas must exist for successful TV shows, but actors and writers have yet to find a foolproof spell. Instead, they keep falling back on the classics, remaking favourite shows in the hopes that lightning will strike twice. Here we examine eight classics and compare them to their remakes - some are better than the original, some are more popular but equally good, and at least one of them is a horrible clunker.

After meeting his filmmaker husband Jonathan McLeod (together with a photographer), he's delighted to discover someone "I was able to take a bet on." I'm from the generation of gays who felt that marriage was never going to be on the agenda,' he said. One, it's amazing that it does happen, I mean, I never gave up on the possibility of finding one.

But when Graham revealed this week that he is leaving his Virgin Radio show because he 'wants his weekends back, rumors in showbiz circles have appeared that Graham is planning to retire after 40-plus years on television, beginning at age 17 in 1981 (inset). It's something he himself revealed was on the agenda, but experts have stated that there is no natural successor to fill his glitzy boots on his Friday chat show (right). Since he's young, he's open about resigning before he hits the age of 60, his current age, because he wants to get out "when you're on top and can enjoy it." Mr Norton, who is 60 years old in early April, has already stated on several occasions that he would step away from his work to spend more time with his husband and their dog.

And though the presenter had been booted from the coveted afternoon slot on the station in 2022 after 23 years, he continued to produce Steve Wright's Love Songs, the most recent version airing last weekend.

We'd recommend getting on board right away if you haven't started "The Traitors" yet, as the BBC's reality show on betrayal, assassination, and corruption has been on TV headlines for the first time.

Although the TV presenter is known for hosting "Strictly Come Dancing," her Saturday BBC Radio 2 show, and being included in Head & Shoulders TV commercials, it's her stint on "The Traitors" that has solidified her celebrity with a new audience. And a lot of that is thanks to her enviable wardrobe and signature style.

When Rebecca Sagar's marriage ended and her father died, she went back to junk food. But after reaching a breaking point, she turned her life around and lost 32 kilograms in the process. Last month, she scaled Mount Everest, and this month, she will fly to Ecuador to face the five peaks challenge.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly won Limitless Win (ITV1), with the assurance that one pair of contestants will go home with a million pounds this season. Limitless Win is more complicated, a guessing game with twists copied from classic quizzes including Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Play Your Cards Correctly. The player's complexity in less capable hands could overwhelm it, but Ant and Dec would ignore the bulky guidelines by leading the players into non-stop chatter and fluster.

Graham Norton believes being stabbed changed [his] life for the better.' During his drama school days, the Wheel of Fortune host lost "half [his] blood." Although he was worried about his life after the incident, it helped put other things into perspective and he stopped being concerned about trivial stuff because being alive was sufficient.

Wheel of Fortune has returned to ITV after 25 years. However, fans of the show were left furious after finding that ITV bosses had decided against the return of one of the show's most popular characters. After a quarter of a century off screens, the program returned to televisions on Saturday night and Graham Norton, 60, kicked the show off.

When it made its comeback on ITV1 on Saturday, Wheel of Fortune viewers were left dissatisfied with a change in the show's format. Graham Norton, 60, who appeared on Channel 4 in July last year, will be fronting the resurrecting of the legendary game show, which ran from 1988 to 2001. When it first appeared on ITV, John Leslie, Nicky Campbell, and Bradley Walsh hosted the UK series.
