Spring & Summer highlights 2004
Entertainment
I Am Not an Animal
听
I Am Not An Animal is an animated comedy series about
the only six talking animals in the world, whose cosseted existence
in a vivisection unit is turned upside down when they are liberated
by animal rights activists.
听
Written and directed by Peter Baynham (I'm Alan
Partridge, Brass Eye, The Day Today), I Am Not an Animal聜 features
the voices of Steve Coogan, Simon Pegg, Julia Davis,
Kevin Eldon, Amelia Bulmore and Arthur Mathews.
听
This is the first production from Baby Cow Animation
(Steve Coogan, Henry Normal, Tim Searle).
听
Unable to find a decent restaurant in the wild, fugitives
from the scientists who created them, can these poor, deluded freaks
possibly survive?
听
And is the world ready for an ambitious right-wing
sparrow, a bulldog obsessed with settling down, a horse with literary
pretensions, a sex-crazed monkey in love with a slutty rat and a rabbit
with as much of a man's brain that could be stuffed in its skull?
听
Was there ever a more contented bunch of animals? A
stylish waterside apartment, specially designed clothes, modern European
cuisine and a cellar full of Chianti are just a few of the perks of
this pampered menagerie.
听
But it's all a sham: the apartment stands at the heart
of a vivisection laboratory; the stunning lakeside view is a video loop
on a flat screen monitor. And the wine's 拢2.99 Chilean Cabernet
with a fake label.
听
This is Project S.
Crisis Command 聳
Could You Run the Country?
听
Britain is facing a crisis. People's lives and the security
and standing of the nation are at stake, so tough decisions must be
made quickly.
听
Dramatising situations that Britain could one day face,
Crisis Command 聳 Could You Run The Country? gives three people
the chance to run the country during a potential disaster.
听
They receive advice from military, police and communication
experts, but the final decisions are down to them alone.
听
Presented by Gavin Hewitt, Crisis Command 聳
Could You Run The Country? is a test of confidence and the ability to
prioritise and keep calm in a tense and rapidly evolving situation.
听
It examines the dilemmas ministers face when dealing
with crisis, and the hard decisions necessary to make to save lives.
听
The Keith
Barret Show
听

听
The down trodden but always positive chauffeur, first
seen in the critically acclaimed Marion & Geoff, asks the most famous

听
Each week Keith uses a combination of questions from
the studio audience and references to his own, often disastrous, relationship
experiences to probe his guests, including TV favourites Richard &
Judy, and discover how they've kept their marriage on the right track.
听
In addition to the studio based discussions Keith introduces
filmed reports where he enlists the help of top sex and relationship
experts, including Would Like To Meet counsellor Tracey Cox,
who provide tips on attracting and keeping the ideal partner.
QI
听
Ringmaster Stephen Fry towers over the happy
chaos in the return of the world's most impossible quiz, starring Alan
Davies.

bottoms, Bulgarians or bees 聳 it's anyone's guess what the underlying
theme of the second series will be.

Jo Brand, Jeremy Hardy, Phill Jupitus, Clive
Anderson, John Sessions, Fred McCaulay, Phil Kaye,
Jeremy Clarkson, Barry Cryer, Arthur Smith, Josie

Happy
Birthday 大象传媒 TWO
听
大象传媒 TWO celebrates its 40th anniversary by taking a
look at the people and programmes that have made the channel what it
is today.
听
Integral to the evening are behind-the-scenes stories
from the controllers and contributors who saw the channel through adversity,
controversy, innovation and invention.
听
The programme hears the stories behind such classic
programmes as The Likely Lads, Arena, The Old Grey Whistle Test, I Claudius,
Boys From The Blackstuff, Not The Nine O聮Clock News, Top Gear and
Little Britain to name just a few, as well as some of the channel's
less auspicious offerings, such as The Borgias.
听
The programme is punctuated by original sketches written
and performed by the Dead Ringers team.
听
Dotted throughout the evening are the strange and wonderful
letters from the readers of the Radio Times, who were moved enough by
the channel to put pen to paper.
听
The Cram
听
The Cram is the ultimate mental marathon that investigates
how much the human brain can take in and recount, over a series of tests
pushing the mind to the absolute limit.
听
Six contestants are chosen at the beginning of the week
and subjected to the rigours of a study room, where they are allowed
to cram in as much information as possible in preparation for a gruelling
test.
听
As the lowest-scoring contestant is eliminated, the
whole process is repeated until the ultimate crammer is crowned.
Coupling
听
The award-winning hit comedy series is back as
Susan and Steve are pregnant (well, mostly Susan) and Patrick and Sally
are discussing commitment (well, mostly Sally).
听
And a guy called Oliver has his eye on Jane, but is
his job going to be a problem?
听
The frank, funny and totally upfront account of love
and lust between best friends and exes is a real family affair, produced
by Sue Vertue, written by her husband Steven Moffat with
Sue's mother Beryl Vertue, as executive producer.
听
Susan is played by Sarah Alexander, Steve by
Jack Davenport, Patrick by Ben Miles, Sally by Kate Isitt,
