The Next Big Thing

Psst! This is my new favourite show. The Next Big Thing. So great. Such an insight into retail.

And love Australia's very own Yasmin Sewell at Liberty's of London (pictured).

ABC1 - right now (Thursday, 9:30pm)

Life at 5: Resilience

You know those programs that are so beautifully crafted, that when you see they're coming, you're excited.

The Life Series from ABC is one of those series. I've loved checking in intermittently to see what each of the 11 children profiled was up to. These are such different families with such diverse children, the personalities are amazing - I love watching this program. And it's particularly more apt because the kids are the same age as the Doctor.

There is great joy in the diversity. I can't say enough great things about this show - but if you love an inside glimpse into other lives, and studies about children, The Life Series is fascinating right from the get-go.

Tonight it's back at 8:30pm on ABC1.

Petition: Please Sign!

I think I will organise a petition to bring back Mr Squiggle.

Who else has awesome blue hair, massive eyelashes and a pencil for a nose? (Right up until the pencil you were
thinking Dame Edna right?).

ABC needs to take a good hard look at themselves. I'd rather watch Mr Squiggle than election coverage. Thanks anyway.

Bring back Mr Squiggle. I love a bit of upside down drawing. (And a grumpy Blackboard.)
