If you can't get enough of looking at Pete Burns' face (and I mean that in the nicest possible way), E4's forthcoming The Body Shocking Show is for you.

Roll up as Pete Firman (The Magicians) and Jessica-Jane Clement (The Real Hustle) marvel at people who have done bizarre things with their bodies.
The show will focus on, among others, Dead Or Alive's Pete Burns (nuff said), Jackie Stallone (every inch the future for Pete Burns' face) and Hollywood star Verne Troyer.

Oh, HBO you are spoiling us with these trailers for season three of Game of Thrones. Not that I'm complaining, of course.
There's more to admire in this longer promo; more of the actors, more atmosphere and more clues as to what may follow when the show gets underway.
We have Dame Diana Rigg to look forward to as the former star of The Avengers will play Olenna Tyrell, also known as the Queen of Thorns.

Excited about In The Flesh? It's a new three-part BBC Three drama telling the story of zombie teenager Kieren Walker (Luke Newberry).
Yes, I said zombie. Shortly after Kieren's funeral, thousands of the dead were re-animated and they're gradually being returned to their homes. Get a flavour of this series by watching the trailer.
Look out for veteran actor Kenneth Cranham, so fondly recalled in superlative ITV post-Second World War drama series, Shine On Harvey Moon. He plays local churchman, Vicar Oddie.
The huge success of US zombie favourite The Walking Dead underlines the popularity of the un-dead on TV.
In truth, it may invite unrealistic comparisons. However, all In The Flesh has to do is fill the gap soon to be left by Being Human; BBC Three will take that for starters.

The BBC's decision to axe The Hour has been met with consternation by fans.

The 1950s-set series about a newsroom was written by Abi Morgan (whose movie hits include The Iron Lady) and starred Ben Whishaw, Dominic West and Romola Garai.
Despite acclaim for the show, ratings dropped by more than a quarter on its second run, down from the two million-plus who saw the first series.
A BBC spokeswoman said: "We loved the show, but have to make hard choices to bring new shows through."
However, over 6,000 people have signed a petition - started on Change.org by fan Alice Stamataki - calling on the BBC to save The Hour.
Alice said: "Critics and fans from all over the world adore The Hour. It's gripping, it's intelligent, it's incredibly, painfully relevant - it's a sophisticated show for a discerning audience. The BBC has made a huge mistake in cancelling this show."
She added: "I couldn't just sit idly by and watch it go down without a fight. Its poor viewing figures were more down to lacklustre BBC promotion, rather than anything to do with the show itself."
Referencing fans of cult sci-fi fave Firefly, aka Browncoats, who successfully lobbied to tie-up loose ends after the series was cancelled, Alice said "All the fans are hoping for our 'Browncoat' moment.”
Alice’s petition to save The Hour can be found at www.change.org/savethehour. I can't see the BBC changing their minds, but at least the fans have made themselves heard.

ITV's This Morning is in trouble again; this time over a photograph of the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge.
This Morning has apologised 'unreservedly' after accidentally showing the cover of the Italian magazine that featured the pregnant, bikini-clad Duchess on holiday on the private Caribbean island of Mustique.
The photos are not being published by UK publications to protect her privacy.
However, the ITV programme ended up displaying the cover without masking the image when hosts Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford were reviewing the papers.
The following statement was read out by Eamonn Holmes:
"Earlier during today's news review we were discussing photographs of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on a beach in Mustique published in an Italian magazine. Unfortunately we accidentally showed an unblurred image of the magazine cover, which briefly showed the photographs."
The statement continued: "This was a deeply regrettable error and we are very sorry. We apologise unreservedly to the Duke and the Duchess."
This follows "appropriate disciplinary action" over the costly incident in which This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield confronted David Cameron with a list of alleged paedophiles.
ITV ended up paying Lord McAlpine £125,000 in damages to settle his libel claim.

And so the body of a man found buried beneath a council car park is almost certainly that of the last Plantagenet King Richard III, according to academics.
When a skeleton was reported found under a Leicester council car park in September 2012, speculation mounted that it could be the remains - lost for 500 years - of one of England's most infamous kings.

In a world exclusive, Channel 4 has the full inside story and will broadcast
Richard III: The King in the Car Park tonight at 9pm.
The discovery of the body and the battery of scientific tests to establish its identity have been carried out in complete secrecy, with no footage seen by anyone, but the investigating team.
The programme - made by the only team allowed to follow the scientists - tells every step, twist and turn of the story and will also unveil a brand new facial reconstruction made from the skull.
Twitter buzzed wtih Richard III commentary and sarcasm:
Downton Abbey's Hugh Bonneville (@hughbon) tweeted: "I wonder how many media trucks are now parked outside the family home of Richard III #appalling."
@shanemuk posted: "BREAKING: Traces of Richard III DNA found in Tesco burgers."
@juliansheasport said: "I’ve got a hunch it’s going to be Richard III."
Finally, inevitably @AMCS2010 with the tweet that lends itself to the occasion: "So how much does Richard III owe in unpaid parking charges??"
