Let's face it - we've all had bad hair days. Luckily, most of us confine our mane-based disasters to our own heads, but on BBC Three's new reality competition Hair, eight amateur stylists will be unleashed on a raft of models to prove their scissor skills. This can either lead to some pretty impressive results... or the aforementioned 'bad hair days'.
It's definitely an entertaining show, but why should you watch? Well, we collared host Steve Jones to ask him exactly that - read on for his ten reasons!
1. All the contestants have a talent.
"I spend a lot of time with them... It's this weird accelerated friendship thing, where you go from never meeting somebody before in your life to spending every waking hour with them for a week, two weeks. You get to know them so quickly, and I love that. I love people - I always have.

Director: Steven Knight; Screenwriter: Steven Knight; Starring: Jason Statham, Agata Buzek, Vicky McClure, Benedict Wong; Running time: 100 mins; Certificate: 15
> Jason Statham Hummingbird interview
Steven Knight's powerful and thought provoking British thriller excels on the strength of the dynamics between its emotionally damaged central characters, along with a clever decision to cast action star Jason Statham as the lead. Along with the capability to bash the brains out of any foe with something as seemingly mundane as a spoon, the guy can also emote. Tears shall flow.
Much like Knight's script for Eastern Promises, his work on Hummingbird delves into the murky London underworld and homes in on the homeless community and criminal fraternity that concurrently occupy the shadowy spaces amidst the pubs and coffee shops in the West End. The focus is on ex Special Forces soldier Joey Jones (Statham), who lives rough and suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder...

Children's TV icon Terry Nutkins, who famously hosted The Really Wild Show, has died aged 66. Nutkins, who is survived by his wife and eight children, was being treated for leukaemia in hospital. His agent John Miles confirmed the news in a statement, adding: "He had fought for about nine months or so with acute leukaemia. "He was an absolutely lovely guy and just loved animals and he was never happier than when he was with animals. We will all miss him very, very much." An English naturalist, television presenter and author, Nutkins found fame in the 1980s when he became a co-presenter of the BBC children's television series Animal Magic with Johnny Morris. During his time on the show, he gripped viewers with his relationship with Californian sea lion Gemini, who he hand-reared. He went on to establish himself as a popular face on kids (more)...

Terry Nutkins is an inspirational figure for many reasons. Perhaps most significantly, he has given hope to every thin-on-top man the world over with his groundbreakingly bold hairstyle. He has proudly rocked the shaggy-sides-and-back-with-bald-as-coot-top style since he first appeared on screens in the '80s in Animal Magic. This uncompromising rock 'n' roll attitude to fashion and traditional TV conventions has been at the core of Nutkins's career, making him one of the last truly great small screen heroes. His love and passion for animals on The Really Wild Show, alongside the dream team of Michaela Strachan and Chris Packham, wowed a generation (more)...

When it comes to describing the talents of Michaela Strachan, it's tough to know where to start. Popstar, TV presenter, animal expert, Ladies World Gurning winner, schoolboy pin-up... the list is seemingly endless. Famed for her work on The Really Wild Show alongside Terry Nutkins and Chris Packham - a dream TV trio - she was rarely off our screens in the '80s and '90s. She was like the Holly Willoughby of her era. Except she was actually good. In her youth, Strachan worked as a kissogram (a fairly popular one, we suspect), but she eventually put down her chapstick and decided (more)...
