The return of the show in which psychotherapist Stelios Kiosses helps adults tidy their rooms. First up is Alison, who has spent £40,000 on ladybird-themed accessories, until her house resembles an insect zoo. Elsewhere, schoolteacher Jo can't move for puppets and donkey costumes. "I can just about make it into bed," she admits. Like many of Channel 4's Barnum-with-a-heart shows, it comes complete with that tinkly incidental music that puts one in mind of a mischievous Tim Burton hiding behind a bush. Ali Catterall

Or: "This beef is seriously past its best-before date."

Yes, there's Love Actually and My Fair Lady but I will always love Martine for being a great soap star
In two separate newspaper stories, on Valentine's Day, I discovered that Love Actually had been voted the most romantic film ever and that Martine McCutcheon (one of its stars) had been declared bankrupt.
