I spoke too soon. ITV1 are launching Celebrity Love Island next week.

For now, though, the BBC are also covering the dismal failure of Celebrity Wrestling and the potential return of The Krypton Factor.

A very bizarre story, via Richard Allan, being put about by Sheffield Tories in the election. Their claim was, roughly, “Vote LibDem and your dog will be eaten by a Scotsman.”

Doctor Who has defeated its weakest enemy by knocking out ITV1’s Celebrity Wrestling. At one point, IIRC, ITV’s Saturday schedule had three programmes in a row whose titles began “Celebrity…” I hope ITV1 have got the message. Perhaps some drama on a Saturday night? Morse used to do OK, didn’t it?

Having spent the last week barely eating or sleeping, I’m not sure I’m up to a detailed recounting on the strenuous campaign I was helping to fight in London. I was pleased that my work in the early hours of Thursday morning got a mention in the Guardian:

By 7am, activists had printed a new leaflet with flattering quotes about their candidate from the day’s Times.

I was hunched over a duplicating machine for a couple of hours in the middle of the night doing that. After a few hours’ sleep, I spent most of polling day in a small room with two computers and piles of paper. Then off to the count (for a disappointing result that really didn’t do the campaign justice) and finally back to HQ to watch the rest on TV.
