Channel 5 has been praised for being the only UK public service broadcaster not to show any Queen-related coverage on Monday 19 September, the day of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.
While BBC One, BBC Two and ITV all aired the funeral live and Channel 4 showed a documentary on the Queen, Channel 5 chose to air animated children’s film The Emoji Movie.
The choice went down well with some viewers. One tweeted that they “don’t understand the criticism of Channel 5 for showing The Emoji Movie during the queen’s funeral”, adding: “What are kids of families who don’t have paid TV/streaming supposed to do otherwise, sit and watch people in suits look overly sad for six hours?”
“Channel 5 deserve a lot of respect for this,” another posted. “Airing an entire day’s worth of kid and family-friendly content to give us a break from wall-to-wall bleakness is a great move.

A retired couple were left in shock as their collection of rare banknotes fetched more than £51,000 on Cash in the Attic.
The Channel 5 show helps people try to sell potential hidden treasures from their homes at auction.
During Monday (5 September) night’s episode, former builder Vic Witt and his wife Janet appeared on the show with a collection of banknotes dating back to 1916 and 1918.
The couple explained that they discovered the money in a tin beneath some stairs while renovating their home in Beaminster, Dorset, 32 years ago.
Janet applied to appear on the show in the hope that the notes would sell for £3,000, allowing her to take 11 members of her family on holiday for their diamond wedding anniversary.
However, the couple were flabberghasted to see that the first note alone sold for £8,000, while three £5 notes with consecutive serial numbers were sold as one lot for £16,000.

Last issue wasn’t a very good issue of Doctor Who. That’s not to say it wasn’t a good issue of course, because it wasn’t bad at all, but what it was was an issue of Jack Harkness, Time Agent. That’s ok of course, as who doesn’t like a man of action / innuendo spouting Time Agent, certainly not me. Jack of course has recently had his memories restored, after having some erased, and has become aware of some not so good things he did for the Time Agency in the past. One thing especially has bothered him, his assassination of Zloy Volt, a man he was told would develop weapons of mass destruction in the future. Then Jack discovered he was lied to.

It is an immutable law of the universe that everything everywhere will at some point be bought on Bargain Hunt. That important looking bit you keep in that tin of random things in case you find out what it’s for? In 2064 some antiques expert who hasn’t even been born yet will explain casually that it was used as a stand for rich Moldovan aristocrats' spare eyeballs, or a small portable gardening tool for calibrating parasols. It doesn’t matter if it was actually the plastic thing that keeps your router standing on end.
It’s these genuinely true histories of random objects bought from someone’s car boot that makes Bargain Hunt the most educational of daytime shows - it teaches you about things you...

Here's an interesting, informative infographic that breaks down the worth of a wide range of 1980's toys, video games and gadgets which are now selling online for serious money. It's called "1980s Cash In The Attic," and there are quite a few things featured on it that I had when I was kid. Boy oh boy, do I wish I had these toys now!
Some of the toys I owned that are on this list included Lazor Light Skeletor, A-Team Van, Transformers Optimus Prime, Transformers Magatron, Transformers Sky Lynx, Transformers Hot Rod, He-Man BattleCat, Tmnt Michelango, G.I Joe Hit and Run Parachute, and the Original GameBoy. It's crazy that I don't have any of these things anymore. The one thing on the list that I do still have is The Amazing Spider-Man #300.

Scissor Sisters don’t make beer but if they did it would be the most hallucination-inducingly camp beer in world. Warning: may cause drinker to see candy coloured rabbits and dancing nuns…
Ah the shy, demure, wallflower world of the Scissor Sisters. If you were to compare them to a member of your family they would be your retiring Grandparents wouldn’t they? I can see them sat in their tourbus knitting little knick-knacks for the younger members of the family, sipping tea from Royal Daulton cup and saucer sets passed down from their own grandmothers, occasionally glancing through the blinds and sighing at what the world used to be like. Jake Shears complete with cane and bifocals would complain to Granny Ana Matronic about the new host on Cash in the Attic whilst she turns her hearing aid down and fetches some malt loaf from the cupboard.

You'd think if £240m of Ralph Malph frightwigs were extant in the world, we'd have noticed them
Sometimes, just once or twice in a lifetime, something beautiful and strange and infinitely poignant comes along: something that causes you to put down your drink and blow a thin stream of air out between your lips and give a small inward prayer of thanks for the simple fact of being alive in the world right now.
Such a thing is the news that four former cast members of the 1970s TV show Happy Days, and the widow of another, are suing CBS for $10m (£6m) in unpaid merchandising revenue.
From every angle you inspect this story, it brings more joy – and not only because it causes you to spend at least eight hours straight singing "Monday, Tuesday, Happy Days! Wednesday, Thursday, Happy Days!, Friday, Saturday, Happy Days!" until your significant other hits you with a pan.

We take a look back at Leviathan, a sci-fi horror hotchpotch of Alien, The Thing and Jaws, in which Peter Weller takes on a vodka-fuelled fish monster…
As 80s B-movies go, Leviathan surely boasts one of the coolest casts of the decade. Even on paper, a film that stars RoboCop, Colonel Trautman out of the Rambo movies, one of the hapless villains out of Home Alone and its sequel, plus Ghostbusters’ Winston Zeddemore sounds great. As does its premise, which is essentially a schlocky rip-off of Alien and The Thing.
One of a flotilla of undersea sci-fi thrillers to drift out of Hollywood in the decade (see also James Cameron’s flashier The Abyss, Roger Corman’s Lord Of The Deep and Sean S Cunningham’s DeepStar Six, to name a few), Leviathan was the product of the late Florentine director George Pan Cosmatos, whose work also included train-based disaster flick The Cassandra Crossing,...

David Gest has admitted that he made the biggest mistake of his career, when he turned down the chance to judge on Britain’s Got Talent.
The music producer – who was famously close friends with the late Michael Jackson – was offered a lucrative TV deal from Simon Cowell back in 2007 and opted to join the panel of flop TV show ‘Grease is the Word’ (alongside Sinitta and Brian Friedman) instead of the massive franchise that it Britain’s Got Talent.
He admits now that he made the “wrong” decision and chose the wrong show when Cowell gave him the choice.
He exclusively told Bang Showbiz: I did ‘Grease is the Word’ and ‘Soapstar Superstar’. Simon signed me on a very lucrative deal. He gave me a choice between ‘Grease is the Word’, which was four months or one week on a little show called ‘Britain’s Got Talent’. I picked the wrong one.

Limitless stars a clear pill that turns the protagonist into a pimped-out, pool-bothering 'perfect' version of himself. Unfortunately he's still Bradley Cooper
If you could unlock the 80% of your brain lying dormant inside your head, what would your life be like? This is a question Bradley Cooper is prepared to answer. Not in real life, obviously – he's only got use of the regular 20%, and about 95% of that is probably taken up with thoughts of how to keep his face looking nice and glossy – but in his new film, Limitless.
So what happens when when you unlock the full potential of your mind? Let's turn our dull, understimulated powers of perception on the new Limitless trailer and find out ...
This is Bradley Cooper while he still has limited brain capacity, as evidenced by his inability to shave or fully grasp the concept of how hairbrushes work. The man, just like everyone else on the planet,...

GMTV could only muster 912k (22.6%) for its final ever edition last Friday, according to overnight data. Between 6am and 9.25am, 892k (22.1%) were tuned in to ITV1, as a further 20k (0.5%) watched the network's HD channel. BBC One's Breakfast appealed to 1.23m (31.1%) between 6am and 9.15am. The channel has consistently eclipsed ITV in the early morning ratings battle for two years. Before its revamp last year, GMTV topped 1.5m on a regular basis. Elsewhere in daytime, This Morning with Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby picked up 915k (18.1%) for ITV1 from 10.30am, losing out to Homes Under The Hammer, To Buy Or Not To Buy and Cash In The Attic, which found respective audiences of 1.36m (26.2%), 1.22m (24.6%) and 1.27m (24.4%).

Most of BBC America's programming is based on a dare, that's a given. There is no other way to explain the channel's seemingly never-ending supply of episodes of Cash In The Attic, Bargain Hunt, and anything else that takes place at a flea market. But when BBC America isn't airing some show about trying to auction antique crockery for a small profit, the channel is trying to gross-out its viewers in the guise of self-improvement, with shows like How Clean Is Your House? (aka, You People Are Filthy) and You Are What You Eat (aka, Here's Your Poop). The best of these gross-out shows is the documentary series called BBC America Reveals, aka BBC America Reveals Some Total Weirdos. The show is essentially the tawdriness of the Maury Povich Show distilled to a fine vapor, treated like a documentary, and covered in accents. Past episodes have included:...
