Tonight Cat Deeley kicks off the search for Britain's favourite dancer, as the international smash sensation So You Think You Can Dance comes to Saturday nights on BBC One, under the watchful eye of esteemed judges Arlene Phillips, Louise Redknapp and "Nasty" Nigel Lythgoe.

From the initial auditions across the UK, So You Think You Can Dance follows thousands of hopefuls who turned out with their leg-warmers and the moves they hoped will impress the judging panel. They are in the running for the once-in-a-lifetime chance to dance on the Hollywood version of the show and take home the £100,000 prize.

Nigel made his name as the original TV super-judge on Popstars in 1999, and now, after launching So You Think... in the US to trailblazing success, he's coming home. As head judge on the new So You Think..., he will sit alongside renowned choreographer Arlene Phillips and a third weekly guest judge.

They put the hopefuls through gruelling rounds of auditions and recalls, culminating with Choreography Camp, as contestants dance for their lives in the hope of progressing to next week's first live show.

How do you feel about starting on a new dancing show after so long in Strictly?
During my time on Strictly I was involved in two other dance shows – Strictly Dance Fever and Dance X, so it's business as usual.

What is your history with Nigel? Is it true you used to dance together?
I have known Nigel for many years. We both did jazz dance classes together and both auditioned for The Young Generation. He got the job, I didn't.

How do you feel about working with him again after all these years?
I can't wait to spar with Nigel on the judging panel.

He's got a reputation for being Nasty Nigel – will you be as tough? What kind of judge do you see yourself as being on this show?
Nigel and I were taught to dance by disciplinarians, so we're both tough, however, I am also kind, caring and passionate, so I'll bring all of those things to the judging panel.

Yes, it's true - the BBC have finally put complete episodes of vintage Doctor Who on YouTube for fans to watch. Now, be warned, these are not entire series, but selected multi-part stories. Via TV Squad:

In this case, it's a selection of a single episode from four of the ten existing Doctors. There is The Edge of Destruction with William Hartnell, The Krotons with Patrick Troughton, Carnival of Monsters with Jon Pertwee and The Caves of Androzani and The Twin Dilemma with Peter Davison and Colin Baker, respectively.

I've come across sites where people have stitched together William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton episodes from DailyMotion in order to recreate the very first few series of Doctor Who, but it's refreshing that the BBC have released some old episodes - for free!

I just got back from yesterday's amazing Waters Of Mars screening in London. What a rush that was! From the cosy little cinema in the Soho Hotel, the assembled members of the press got to see the whole episode. Russell T Davies was there, David Tennant was also there. I even spotted the Doctor's daughter, Georgia Moffett there (she's a really pretty girl, looks a bit like Little Boots).

Anyway, it wouldn't be fair to spoil the episode so far in advance, so don't worry about finding out too much from this post. What I will say is that based on the trailer's I've seen for Waters Of Mars, I thought the whole episode would be abysmal. Really. I had serious concerns that David Tennant's third-last Doctor Who would be a complete washout.

His horniness, King Uther, having been without a wife since Authur's mother died, decides to get married in the latest episode of Merlin. Well, to be technical about it, he's cleverly manipulated into falling in love by a hideous troll masquerading as the daughter of an old ally.

Beauty And The Beast might have been one of the funniest episodes of Merlin to have graced our screens - Merlin using an enchanted mirror to discover the lady was a troll, dropping it and having Arthur think he was perving on her; the 'Lady' Catrina chucking her food in the river when Uther wasn't looking, then delicately wiping her lips with a napkin.

Check it out - everything changes for Series 5 of Doctor Who, even the logo for the show!

Perhaps the coolest thing about the new logo is that they've taken the initials DW and formed them into the shape of the TARDIS. The whole thing is topped off with a flashing light like the one which sits atop the time machine.

So, thats a new Doctor in Matt Smith, a new showrunner in Stephen Moffat, a new logo for the series. The one thing we haven't seen so far is the much-rumoured redesigned TARDIS interior.

I'm kind of hopeful that the departure of David Tennant is massive. What else could precipitate a regeneration of the Time Lord and his TARDIS?

Don't get me wrong, I'll miss the Russell T Davies era and everything that went with it, but I'm also looking forward to what seems to be decisively a new era for Doctor Who.

What do you guys think of the new logo?

After falling from the nation's favour, disappearing to America and developing what the tabloids called an 'obsession' with UFOs and aliens, Robbie Williams is due to debut his new single, Bodies on the Chris Moyles Show tomorrow morning.

Well, I reckon Moyles owes Robbie a favour. After all, he's done his level best to give Rob's former boyband Take That a leg up since they reformed.

I've always liked Robbie, he's not a serious as his Take That bandmates and has a more "two-fingers to the industry" attitude that I've always admired. OK, there are periods in his career that I'd rather ignore, like Swing When You're Winning, but when Robbie's on top form, he can be quite something.

Unfortunately, we haven't seen Robbie on top form arguably since his split with Guy Chambers, but I'm still interested to see what he's come up with. The Sun's Gordon Smart describes the single:

The chorus is hands in the air, singalong magic that made Robbie a stadium star.

The Sun’s Gordon Smart points out that tastemakers at Radio 1 are turning their back on Madonna’s latest single, Celebration by refusing to put her on any playlist. The sinewy popstar collaborated on the song with Paul Oakenfold. Smart points out that this is the first time a Madonna song has been flatly rejected by the station.

This has been coming for a while.

Her Madgesty's last album, Hard Candy, didn't do as well as expected. Probably because it was rubbish.

I'm also sick of the sight of her parading around in her undercrackers.

Personally, I’ve been less than impressed by Madonna and the last album of hers that I rate is Ray Of Light, which was years ago. For her last two albums at least, I’ve had the feeling that Madonna has lost her flair for reinvention and seems more desperate to remain in the charts than at any other time in her career.

Possibly the strongest episode of Ashes To Ashes of the current series last night - Gene and Alex uncover the rat in their department, and Alex ends up doing a bit of late night grave-digging thanks to Martin Summers.

If you've been keeping up with my Ashes To Ashes episode reviews, you'll know I missed last week's show, so I had to do a bit of catching up last night, watching both episodes via the BBC iPlayer. That is one useful website - I don't know what I'd do without it sometimes!

The Recap Bit

Anyway, this episode revolves around a body found in a shallow cement grave on a building site. It becomes especially interesting when a young policeman comes forward with information implicating the foreman of the site: the policeman is a youthful Martin Summers.

Naturally, this raises Alex's suspicions about him and his motivations, and she becomes sceptical about the quality of the information. However, she doesn't have to worry too long about Summers - a night-time meeting (arranged by and attended by the older version of Summers) ends with the corrupt Summers shooting dead his youthful equivalent. He then leaves Alex to cover up the trail by submerging the body in wet cement - mirroring the way the earlier body was disposed of.
