This Morning's resident showbiz queen Alison Hammond is set to land a daytime show of all her own.

Alison, who made her name with Big Brother , I'm A Celebrity and later This Morning, is reported to have been given the green light to front an hour-long afternoon chat show by ITV.

Happy Hour will see Alison chat with famous mates, as well as featuring make-overs, exercise regimes and lifestyle segments.

I'm quite happy to see this. She is own of the few interviewers that can make a celeb interview seem fairly natural and relaxed.

Congratulations to Alison! Hopefully she'll do well in the ratings.

And Anna Lomax is our final artist of December and 2019, is the white exploding confetti logo which is definitely appropriate for the turning of a New Year. It appears at the end of the video. Honestly, it's a perfect final ident for 2019.

Much prefer the old font, the new one resembles Gill Sans.

It's supposed to be a custom font called PBS Sans, which was designed by Lippincott, who also worked on the rebrand.

Rugby World Cup 2019

And so, with the first Rugby World Cup to be held in Asia finally come to a close, it's time to look towards the future and the 10th edition of the tournament in 2023. This is the logo for the next edition btw.

See you in France!
Rendez-vous en France!

France 2023 will be a little earlier than Japan 2019 this time as the 2023 edition will be from 8th September to 21st October.
It will be taking place in 9 cities across the country. Paris (Saint-Denis), Marseille, Lyon (Décines-Charpieu), Lille (Villeneuve-d'Ascq), Bordeaux, Saint-Étienne, Nice, Nantes and Toulouse.
Frankly enough, the venues for these cities were also used for the 2016 Euros.

Also the men's and women's Rugby World Cups will now be gender-neutral in their names as from 2021 onwards, the Women's Rugby World Cup to be held in New Zealand will be named the Rugby World Cup

X Factor

I think everyone has different thoughts on what worked and what didn’t, hence why every change, either with a new idea, or back to an old idea results in falling viewing figures.

Nobody could ever get a consensus on whether silly joke acts had a place in the live shows for example.

Also should bad singers feature in the auditions for people to laugh at, or should it all be nice and positive (and therefore often dull).


Early X Factor was must-watch TV because it had that mix of undiscovered talent and the delusional acts where everyone had a good laugh at their expense. In the live shows, there was always the knowledge that Simon might randomly take against a singer and rip shreds off them in front of the nation at any moment.

Then a few things happened. Some of the more ridiculous auditions started to be obviously put on for the camera, and this was carried through to the live shows where of course it's nowhere near as funny if the act is in on the joke. At the same time criticism started to grow that it wasn't fair to treat people in such a way that they were being mocked, and concerns were raised about the possible effects on mental health of participants, and so they toned it down.

The fundamental problem with the show is that the producers never then found a way to develop that original format without resorting to those tactics, because it was always so reliant on them. Hence we got audience then no audience, sing off then no sing off, chairs then no chairs (then chairs but watered down so that it makes no sense anyway...) and so on it goes.

ITV really should have cut their losses a long time ago and switched to a different format e.g. to The Voice when the BBC originally took it. But of course Cowell didn't want to let it go, and ITV didn't want to upset Cowell and so here we are. Surely even he must now realise it's time to call it a day.


They had some very angry failures of auditions like Juurj, former member of Dubel Trubull!
I spelt them wrong on purpose because the pronunciation of those names with their accents is funny imo
