Fantastic - they're back on form after the slightly obscure 4s in the Blackpool, Scrapyard, and Planes (or whatever their official titles are) idents.

Definitely the best of the recent additions, even if a bit too Spring-esque for New Years Day. Considering the CGI involved in these idents would it be that difficult to make night and day versions of them, and heck, even add a bit of snow to the regular idents to use at Christmas?

New opening titles and a graphics tweak for this afternoons 65 minute Deal or no Deal.

Well they're all 65 minutes now. Not seen the titles yet but the main graphics prove the point once again axing the 4:3 safe zone is long overdue, and a shame the studio hasn't been revamped too.

What do people think of Famous and Fearless? It should be good, but so far it is only OK.

It seems like an expensive programme but the content is spread too thinly over 2 hours. Even Chris Evans is struggling with it.

Gave up after 15mins .... tried to distance my dislike for the main presenter and take it in but failed. I suspect it's sufferring from extended first part syndrome, where a perfectly adequate concept is stretched in an opening show. I note the opener is 120mins inc ads, all the remainder are 90mins so first part padding is required.

May pick it up again towards the end of the week after Stargazing Live which will occupy me in the slot for the next three nights.

I wanted to like Famous and Fearless (and it had a great trailer) but I gave up after 30 minutes, when none of the 'stunts' was anywhere near starting and I still had no idea how the game worked.

It seemed very ITV to me.

Jenny Frost (that one from that 90s band Atomic Cats again, so she's still a celeb yeah?) has just driven a monster truck round a small corner and apparently because it was so small she got the fastest time. Death-defying!! Whooa! Rolling Eyes (or perhaps I'm missing something)

This programme is p-poor and warrants at the most being on Five on a Sunday evening and hosted by Colin Murray or someone.

If they have to have a series of celebrities competing in something, they could do worse than bringing back The Games.

I saw the perfect review on Twitter - Richard Branson's son on a BMX is neither famous nor fearless. They should have just called it "And".

So, what is fearless about inline skating ?

This show is pants.
