A girl's guide to the world of TV and film

What I watched on TV last night....

Top Gear- 8pm BBC 2 (part 1 of Christmas special)

Last night's programme was back on track, with the guys back to their usual antics in a bid to see who could get to NYC the quickest driving the world's top sports cars. It was just like the old days, with the three of them teasing each other and pulling out all the stunts to be crowned the winner and discover the world's greatest sports car.
I predict next week's episode will not be one to miss.


The Savoy-9pm ITV (2/2)

You have to feel sorry for the staff at The Savoy hotel, who have to meet some ridiculous demands made by high society guests.
In last night's episode, the last of the mini series, of the behind the scenes docu-soap, staff prepared for the arrival of the new owner and his entourage from Saudi Arabia, spending hours deliberating over where to place a bowl of fruit in his hotel suite.
It got even more ridiculous on his arrival when staff had to meet his requests of black slippers- not white, a steady temperature of 17.5 degrees, and for all light to be shut out at night- including covering up the light on the suite's telephone.
A job at the Savoy, I would rather serve a prison sentence.
