According to Teletext it appears that Paul Merton will be absent from this week's
Have I Got News For You due to a kidney infection. It's the first time in 18 years that he's missed a scheduled appearance on the show although it doesn't appear to be too serious and the good news is that they've Frank Skinner to come back and stand in for him.
I hope Hat Trick haven't had to pay him too much money for his appearance.
Jack Dee's hosting tonight so it should be good fun as always.
This is definitely the time of year when TV is at it's best with tonight being no exception, as there's a show on after tonight's "Celebrity" looking back at the music of 1983 celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Now Albums with live performances.
They'll also be looking back at the television that was around then as it was the year when Roland Rat made his debut at breakfast and Bob Holness made his debut at teatimes.
On a similar subject the new presenting line up for Countdown has been announced as according to the Daily Bastard (The Sun), Jeff Stelling off of Sky Sports will be taking over from Des O'Connor alongside newcomer Rachel Riley taking the reigns from Carol Vorderman.
I've never actually seen Jeff present before but he's been in the running since Des Lynam ended up getting the job so I'm hoping it will be successful.
Hopefully it should be confirmed by the more reliable sources later on.
With a lot more spare time I'll definitely need to make the most of the remainder of the current series which this time last year I could not go through a day without watching.
