SFTW

I remember that show. It was pre-recorded and presented from outside wasn't it? The clips in each episode were all on a given subject. Was that called Something for the Weekend? I thought it was something else?

In fact, there is more information here...

'Something for the weekend' is also a programming slot on 5*

It is also a slang term for a type of prophylactic.

Watching that reminded me of two things, the early 98 channel 4 idents/stings, e.g:


Or as if they were about to go into the Cadbury dancing eyebrows routine.

I can't remember Tim giving a reason for not being on this week. I think he informed, but then went onto say how the week after was their last show.

Nice up see channel4 capitalising on the programme by going for the following Sunday. Nice fresh blue on that short trailer, but as the Paul O'Grady (moving to channel 4) trailer showed, this may not be the finished set.

No sign of Louise Redknap... excellent

Make sure you're not looking for a blonde - she recently dyed her hair back to it's natural brunette.

That statement makes no sense.

As did I.



Yes, people do - on both counts...

And they all lived happily ever after!


I hear you on that; for a moment I thought the image was going to blur in that same way.

She won't be part of the new show. Shame really, she's the only member of the Redknapp family I can stand.

Not a shame at all, she was dreadful on SFTW, totally out of her depth. Her predessesor and those who covered for her just came across far better. I always got the feeling that Tim Lovejoy was always embarrassed by her

Yes, Something For The Weekend grew out of Saturday Kitchen which in itself grew out of a number of shows BBC2 ran on weekend mornings in the early noughties - things like the original Saturday Kitchen, plus Sunday Style, Sunday Past Times (which got Whovians excited because it showed a Who clip nobody knew was in the archives), Sunday Home And Garden and so on which were simply brief links between archive shows. Eventually Saturday Kitchen became a bit more adventurous and developed into the proper show in its own right we know today.

Something For The Weekend started in 2006 as an attempt at a Sunday spin on Saturday Kitchen, around the time the original Kitchen defected to ITV. A few weeks before it began, ITV launched a blatant spoiler in Sunday Feast, which lasted about five minutes and included the food heaven and food hell bit that the producers had just read about on the Saturday Kitchen website and decided to rip off.

Yes it does, when you take it in context (you omitted part of my post in that quote). She dyed her hair (photos in one of yesterday's newspaper magazines showed it), therefore, if she was shown, you might think it isn't her.
