SUSAN BOYLE'S NEW ALBUM TOPS BESTSELLER LIST ON AMERICAN AMAZON

Like a lot of other Susan Boyle fans out there, I’m eagerly awaiting the release of her new album. It’s one of most hotly anticipated album releases of the year. Many thousands of U.S. fans have already flooded Amazon.com with pre-orders for the album, “I Dreamed a Dream”, some three months before it’s due to go on sale. It has already topped their bestseller list. Wow! To hear Susan singing “Wild Horses” on “America’s Got Talent”, click on player shown below:-

NAME THAT TUNE SET TO RETURN TO OUR SCREENS


I was interested to hear that Channel 5 are planning to revamp and relaunch the old quiz show, “Name That Tune” with Ant and Dec as presenters. I remember that show well. I always used to think it was very good. (I'll name that tune in one note!) Comedian Tom O’Connor was at the helm in those days. It’s funny how some of the old shows are starting to make a comeback. I used to enjoy “Mr and Mrs” with Derek Batey too. The 21st century version is even better, hosted by Fern and Phil.

How many of the old game shows do you remember and which ones were your favourites? I enjoyed “The Golden Shot” presented by Bob Monkhouse and “Celebrity Squares” (which he also presented). I also used to enjoy “321”. Who can forget the star of the show Dusty Bin and presenter Ted Rogers with his wonderful upbeat humour! Bull’s Eye (you can’t beat a bit of bully!) and Play Your Cards Right ("it could still be a big night if you play your cards right!" according to host Bruce Forsyth’s catchphrase) were also firm favourites.
