ITV Dramas adopt a new Twist


ITV have introduced anew twist to a string of new dramas released on the channel. They have extended audience voting to the fictional series in which the viewing public get to vote on their preferred endings. The first series to adopt the new format will be Rock Rivals, a fictional drama which follows the behind the scenes backstabbing of the judges in a fictional signing contest. The series has had two possible endings filmed and a week long vote will decided which of the fictional contestants will win the show.

This new twist has also been seen as attempt by ITV to put the shambles of the phone in scandal well and truly behind them, with the channel confirming calls will not be charged at peak rates.

During the gig Amy had to be supported by her band as she almost collapsed in tears.
And as fans tired of the mumbling star and began booing, Amy turned on her audience.
She said: “Let me tell you something. First of all, if you’re booing you’re a mug for buying a ticket.
“Second to all the people booing — just wait till my husband gets out”

Music Review

Make Model at the Barfly, supported by local boys Vinnie Vinnie who have all the feel good factor of an average Beatles tribute band with the outfits to match, Make Model performed their melodic tunes to a full but static Barfly.
