Experts warn that apps and social media influencers are mistakenly causing middle-aged women to suffer with ADHD; are YOUR signs a result of the disorder or completely normal?

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 16, 2024
Professor Joanna Moncrief, a well-known University College London psychiatrist, is concerned that the mental disorder is being overdiagnosed. As a result, thousands of people are needlessly getting powerful drugs designed to calm them down, she said. According to her, trendy games (bottom right), social media influencers (left), and private clinics are all contributing to a significant rise in ADHD in middle-aged women. Despite being generally diagnosed during childhood, physicians have been taken aback by a rash of adults requesting support and drugs to assist them with suspected ADHD (top right). Sheridan Smith (inset) is the latest celebrity to open a series of celebrities with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 15, 2024
It's difficult to imagine The Great British Bake Off without Prue Leith's presence on stage, but the host admits that her entrance to the program was far less assured. When the show moved from its original BBC home to Channel 4, the South African TV star was drafted in as the much-loved Mary Berry replacement in 2017.

Imagine... French And Saunders: Pointed, Bitchy, Bitter review: Only Alan Yentob could make French and Saunders unfunny! writes CHRISTOPHER STEVENS

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 28, 2023
CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: The Yentob Effect - a gravitational field of superserious artiness compresses anything light and enjoyment into a dense humourless mass - is what scientists call it. In an hour-and-a-half career retrospective, Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders resisted it for about eight minutes. Imagine... French And Saunders: And they even gave it a self-mocking badge, as well as a tepid and Bitter (BBC1). At the start, friends assembled to announce what pathetic people they are and how difficult it is to work with. Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins agreed, 'Narcissists.' I feared their jobs,' Kathy Burke narrates. However, the Yentob Effect takes all jokes and ensures that no scrap of levity is able to escape. In a sketch where they played 'free-runners' or urban gymnasts, the French and Saunders learned this and mocked it 20 years ago, showing off their leaps and leaps to Alan Yentob himself.

Review of Fur Babies: Brits dote on their pets, and CHRISTOPHER STEVENS writes that everyone will be raving over it

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 8, 2023
I'm having a brainwave, so here's the deal. There is nothing to worry about, as it will pass in a minute, but I have to tell you this. The British dote on pets is a magazine published in the United Kingdom. If any were required, the proof would be in the sheer number of animal shows - those that were shot in rescue centers, vet's, zooos, safari parks, and behaviour schools. We love to see animals being trained, cared for, or just loved. Fur Babies (Ch4) brings us into family homes, where beloved animals are being cared for through pregnancy and birth. We saw Bella, a shorthair puss named Leyla, and Splodge the guinea pig all giving birth to adorable litters in the first episode.

The show's final analysis - Taskmaster: Is the show's pool of wacky thoughts running dry after 16 seasons?

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 24, 2023
ROLAND WHITE: Have you ever settled down in front of the television and thought to yourself, 'What I really fancy now is to watch Sue Perkins firing a ring doughnut at Alex Horne from a piece of industrial-strength elastic attached to the top of a wheelie bin'? Last night, you were in luck. That was just one of the bizarre spectacles on offer in Taskmaster - The Final (Ch4). One of the five contestants' challenges was to get some exercise. Lucy Beaumont simply headbutted an exercise ball, while actress Susan Wokoma put on some boxing gloves and used a few small weights as ab rollers. To be honest, I've seen wackier stuff lately.
