    • So, did you guess who it was then?

      Last night 'Coronation Street' viewers finally found out who killed Frank Foster - it were her off 'Duty Free'.

      Yes, it was Anne Foster, played by veteran actress Gwen Taylor, who bumped off her nasty rapist of a son by a single blow to the head with a whisky bottle.

      It wasn't the longest of soap whodunnits as Frank was only killed a couple of weeks ago and these can run for months.

      But it was a juicy plot for the soap that saw the finger of suspicion point at five Weatherfield residents - Carla, Peter, Michelle, Sally and Kevin.

      The clues were all there though from the start that it wasn't going to be any of that lot.

      Firstly, 'Corrie' killers are always punished for their crimes and we knew that none of those five actors were set to quit the cobbles.

      Keen 'Coronation Street' fans will also have noted that, when initial reports of the storyline emerged, Frank's mother Anne was included in the suspects

    • Surely we can't be the only ones who thought it was an early April Fool's joke when we heard that Engelbert Humperdinck was to represent the UK at this year's Eurovision Song Contest?

      Engelbert Humperdinck

      But no, it was true and as the news was confirmed and we came out of shock, we thought that the team behind the UK song entry had finally decided to throw in the towel by picking the ageing crooner to represent the nation at the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest.

      After going for (and failing to win over) younger voters last year with newly-reformed boyband Blue, wouldn't we end up the laughing stock of Europe for sending in a 75-year-old crooner this year?

      Now we've heard the song and we think we were too hasty.

      'Love Will Set You Free' is a Spanish-tinged ballad with a simple, yet catchy, melody that could well hook Eurovision voters.

      Humperdinck (as he's known to his friends) gives a rousing performance and is guaranteed to deliver on

    • We'll be honest and admit that we weren't particularly looking forward to the third series of 'Whitechapel' after the disappointing second series last year.

      However, the ITV drama redeemed itself big time with a new two-part story format and some genuinely creepy tales. And thankfully not a Kray in sight.

      If you missed the latest series, it's out on DVD on Monday 12 March and is well worth a look.

      In the mean time, we've managed to get our hands on this behind-the-scenes clip where Steve Pemberton talks about the show:

    • The cast of All New PeopleGreat news for fans of 'Scrubs' and 'Torchwood' as two of those shows' biggest stars are currently appearing in 'All New People' at London's Duke Of York's Theatre.

      The play arrives in the West End after an acclaimed run Off-Broadway and sell-out performances in Glasgow and Manchester.

      Zach Braff, best known as 'Scrubs' Dr John Dorian, is the star of the show here as he not only takes centre-stage, but also wrote the play. Show-off.

      He heads up the cast as Charlie, a man who decides to end it all on his 35th birthday. However, his attempt at a quiet suicide is interupted by the arrival of three uninvited guests.

      'Torchwood's Eve Myles is barely recognisable as the manic Emma, who turns up to rent out the apartment with her drug dealing fireman friend in tow, played by Paul Hilton.

      Things really liven up when Susannah Fielding arrives as the airhead escort hired by Charlie's friend as a birthday treat - and promptly steals most of the scenes with some great comic timing.

      It's a grimly
