ITV News report to be investigated over 'coloured' comment

ITV News report to be investigated over 'coloured' comment

Media regulator Ofcom is to investigate ITV News after a presenter used the word "coloured" in a report on racism in football last month.

Richard Pallot, an ITV News reporter, said the term while reporting on a racism in football summit at Downing Street in late February, attended by ex-player John Barnes and Prime Minister David Cameron.

Ofcom intends to investigate whether ITV News broke broadcasting rules covering the prevention of harm and offence to viewers, along with maintaining generally accepted standards, reports The Guardian.

ITV News used its Twitter page to apologise for Pallot's use of the term, which aired in the lunchtime bulletin. It also edited the comment out of all catch-up versions on ITV Player and the ITV News website.

At the time, an ITV News spokesman said: "ITV News apologises for the inappropriate use of the word 'coloured' in a report on racism and football in today's news at 1.30pm. We take this error very seriously and we regret any offence caused."

However, Ofcom is likely to be concerned that the ITN-produced programme allowed the word to be included in a pre-recorded report, suggesting a problem with the compliance procedures around the news bulletin.

Red Dwarf star Danny John Jules was among those to criticise the use of the term.

He tweeted at the time: "An @ITV news report on David Cameron's 'Race Pow-Wow' at No 10 and the DINOSAURS referred to Black players as 'COLOURED'. WTF? Dumb Fuckwits! (sic)"

The controversy follows a similar outcry when Match of the Day pundit Alan Hansen also used the word "coloured" while discussing racism in football on the BBC programme.

Marc Cherry takes 'Desperate Housewives' trial stand for first time

Marc Cherry takes 'Desperate Housewives' trial stand for first time

Marc Cherry has taken the trial stand at Nicollette Sheridan's lawsuit against him and ABC.

Sheridan, who played Edie Brit on ABC's Desperate Housewives, is suing series creator and producer Cherry and the network for $6 million (£3.7 million) in a wrongful termination suit.

Cherry testified that he did not kill off Sheridan's character on the show out of retaliation.

He claimed that he wrote off Edie due to financial and creative reasons, and also because of Sheridan's "lack of professional behaviour".

Sheridan has alleged that Cherry hit her on the head after the two disagreed about her character's lines from the show's fifth season.

She has also claimed that her character was killed off on Desperate Housewives after she reported Cherry for hitting her.

A lawyer for ABC and Cherry has admitted that Cherry did hit Sheridan, but told the court that it was a 'tap' to give artistic direction.

Desperate Housewives cast members Eva Longoria, Marcia Cross, Teri Hatcher and Felicity Huffman may also give evidence in the trial, since they are named as potential witnesses for Cherry.

'Entourage' creator Doug Ellin's HBO pilot '40' 'not moving forward'

'Entourage' creator Doug Ellin's HBO pilot '40' 'not moving forward'

HBO has chosen not to proceed with Doug Ellin's new comedy pilot 40.

The decision was made after the pilot was shot and then HBO and Ellin attempted to rewrite the show, reports Deadline.

In the pilot, 40 starred Ed Burns, Michael Rapaport, Michael Imperioli and Adrian Pasdar as four long-time friends who help each other deal with life at the age of 40.

This isn't the first time Ellin has developed a HBO series revolving around of group of close male acquaintances. He is the creator of the comedy-drama series Entourage about a movie star and his childhood friends.

Ellin is still in contract with HBO to develop more series. Last year, HBO picked up his project Da Brick, which is said to be loosely based on the life of boxer Mike Tyson.

Keith Allen: 'Channel 4 nearly didn't air my Nick Griffin interview'

Keith Allen: 'Channel 4 nearly didn't air my Nick Griffin interview'

Keith Allen has alleged that Channel 4 was apprehensive over his interview with Nick Griffin finally airing tonight.

The 58-year-old father of singer Lily Allen claimed that the programme only went ahead after producer Victor Lewis-Smith called Channel 4's chief executive David Abraham "a spineless c**t".

Writing in The Independent, the actor recalled: "Having recorded and edited the Nick Griffin documentary, I discovered to my chagrin that the problems were only half over.

"Channel 4, which had been enthusiastic about the idea of me interviewing Griffin, was discomfited by the reality and repeatedly asked for changes and additional lines of didactic narration.

"When one commissioning editor completely misunderstood a sequence about Muslim women in which Griffin was unexpectedly defending them as victims of male violence, she gave such a knee-jerk reaction that I assumed she must have trained with Galvani.

"Eventually, after much patient explanation, Channel 4 said it was pleased with the documentary, but it then sat on a shelf as summer turned to autumn and then to winter.

"Hence Victor's outburst of a month ago, as a result of which the programme will finally grace - or disgrace - your screen tonight."

Keith Meets... Nick Griffin airs tonight (Monday) at 11.05pm on Channel 4.

'Community' execs 'feeling confident about fourth season'

'Community' execs 'feeling confident about fourth season'

Community could return for a fourth season, according to the show's producers.

The NBC comedy has suffered from low ratings and was placed on hiatus late last year.

However, executive producer Russ Krasnoff told audience members at the 2012 PaleyFest: "The people at NBC love the show, so we're feeling pretty confident."

Fellow exec Neil Goldman added that the series, which stars Joel McHale and Chevy Chase, still needs more viewer support.

"You'll get to see these next 12 [episodes], but continue to spread that word and be loud," he said. "Twitter is great, but sometimes we think it's preaching to the converted."

Last year, Community creator Dan Harmon told Digital Spy that "online viewership" could save the show.

"Netflix and Hulu have become the new buyers of television, and we are big in those markets," he explained. "They don't get counted in the Nielsen [ratings] but they're getting counted as downloads.

"So if there's enough money to be made in those markets, we could actually continue to be around for a while, having abysmal Nielsen ratings, making people scratch their heads!"

The third season of Community resumes on NBC on Thursday, March 15 at 8/7c.

'Walking Dead' creator Robert Kirkman teases fate of characters

'Walking Dead' creator Robert Kirkman teases fate of characters

The Walking Dead creator and executive producer Robert Kirkman has talked about his decision to kill off a character.

AMC viewers saw Dale Horvath (Jeffrey DeMunn) injured by a walker and shot by Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) in a mercy killing during Sunday night's episode 'Judge, Jury, Executioner'. Kirkman explained that the decision to deviate from the plot of the comic books was not taken lightly.

"I have talked many times [about] how much I like the difference between the comics and the show," Kirkman told The Hollywood Reporter. "There are going to be big plot lines that we may not necessarily get to, like the romance between Dale and Andrea.

"If you think you really want to read that storyline, that's available in the comics, and I highly recommend you pick those up. The show is always going to be a different animal and the decision to kill Dale off was a big one and it wasn't one that was made lightly."

Kirkman added that Dale's death would have an impact on the rest of the characters, saying: "To lose this guy at this moment means so much for this group. It's going to be such a monumental death that it's going to affect things a great deal moving forward.

"It seemed like the right time and that to me, all the stories that are going to come out of this that people haven't seen yet, are worth losing the Dale/Andrea relationship."

Kirkman described Dale as "an important piece" of the group, adding that the characters would now struggle "to make the same decisions they would have made, and that's really going to affect the group as a whole".

"They are kind of in a bad place and we're going to have to deal with that," he added.

Frankie Cocozza 'X Factor' swearing lands ITV in trouble

Frankie Cocozza 'X Factor' swearing lands ITV in trouble

Frankie Cocozza's expletive-loaded celebration upon surviving another day on the X Factor results show last October has landed ITV in trouble with media regulator Ofcom.

A total of 108 complaints were submitted to Ofcom about the live programme aired on ITV1 on October 23, 2011. At 8.42pm, host Dermot O'Leary announced that Cocozza had received enough votes to secure his place in the following week's show, to which the teenager responded: "F**king have it. Get in there."

The situation was made worse as there was no immediate on-air apology from O'Leary after the bad language had been uttered. An apology was aired later the same evening on ITV2 spinoff show The Xtra Factor in a live interview with Cocozza.

Channel TV, the ITV-owned broadcaster which provided compliance for the programme, said that it "deeply regretted" Cocozza's "unexpected and unprompted outburst".

The broadcaster said that it had already apologised directly to viewers who had contacted ITV directly to complain. But Channel TV also attempted to argue that the foul language was "barely audible" above the studio noise.

Channel TV said that "due to the noise of the audience at that point in the show, it is extremely unlikely that anyone in the studio [i.e. the judges, presenter, contestants and audience] would have heard Frankie's comment".

It said that various members of staff watched the entire programme from an off-air feed on domestic TVs in different parts of the studio complex and "no-one heard the comment as it was broadcast". This was why there was no immediate apology on the live show.

"Although we are aware this was a delayed response, and we are very conscious that the digital audience is not a direct comparator to a pre-watershed family audience on ITV1, The Xtra Factor was our earliest opportunity to respond to the issue," said Channel TV.

In its ruling, Ofcom disagreed with Channel TV that the word "f**king" was not audible to the audience, also noting that it came around 20 minutes before the 9pm watershed.

The regulator said that this was "particularly unacceptable in the context of a programme that attracts a substantial family audience".

It was noted that the X Factor results show is a live programme, which prevents "compliance challenges" for broadcasters, but the lack of an immediate apology was viewed as a failure of Channel TV's compliance procedures.

"Ofcom was particularly concerned that a high profile live programme such as this did not already have adequate systems in place to monitor the transmission output of the programme as it was broadcast," said Ofcom.

"We considered that in this instance the offensive term was clearly audible to viewers. Had there been suitable compliance procedures in place the broadcaster could have responded in a more timely and appropriate fashion."

Ofcom recorded a breach of the broadcasting code against ITV and Channel TV, and also issued a reminder to all broadcasters over their compliance responsibilities before the watershed.

"Licensees are reminded that broadcasting live programme content can pose special challenges and as a result extra measures may be needed to ensure compliance with the Code," it added.

'Britain's Got Talent' launch to clash with 'The Voice'?

'Britain's Got Talent' launch to clash with 'The Voice'?

Britain's Got Talent will reportedly be scheduled directly opposite The Voice UK when both shows launch later this month.

Insiders claim that ITV want the sixth series of Simon Cowell's reality show to air on Saturday, March 24 - the same date as its new BBC rival has long been tipped to start.

Speaking to The Sun, a source from the corporation claimed that ITV's move was retaliation for failing to win the rights to The Voice.

"This is typical of ITV, parking their tanks on our lawn just as we launch a major new format," the insider said. "They are smarting because they didn't get the show although they bid £10million more than us."

An ITV insider hit back: "We haven't declared our launch date but, if I was a betting man, I'd go for March 24.

"The BBC know we always launch BGT around this time. If anyone is parking tanks on a lawn, it's them on ours."

For the past four years, Britain's Got Talent has launched in mid-April.

The rivalry between the two formats has been building in the run up to both series debuting, with ITV chief executive Adam Crozier this week describing The Voice as "derivative".

Cowell admitted to back in January that he recognises the "challenge" posed by The Voice.

"The BBC must be confident because they have put it up against this show," he said. "They want to make a competition out of it. So we've got to make [Britain's Got Talent] better. Everyone benefits because of that."

The latest instalment of BBC One's Upstairs Downstairs averaged 5.01m (19.2%) from 9pm, with Countryfile and Antiques Roadshow taking 6.07m (23.4%) and 5.68m (20.3%) respectively.

BBC Two showed Top Gear (4.06m/14.5%) and Orbit: Earth's Extraordinary Journey (3.06m/11.7%).

Channel 5 aired movie The Da Vinci Code, which appealed to 1.51m (5.9%) from 6pm, before Ultimate Police Interceptors was watched by 725k (2.8%) from 9pm.

Overall, ITV1 took 22.2% (+1: 0.8%), winning primetime ahead of BBC One's 19.8%. BBC Two commanded 11.8% ahead of Channel 4's 5.3% (+1: 0.7%) and Channel 5's 4.5%.

On the multichannels, Being Human grabbed a combined 844k (3.2%) on BBC Three and BBC HD from 9pm, and Sky1's Got to Dance averaged 934k (3.9%) and 1.12m (4%) from 6pm and 7.50pm respectively.

Fox cancels 'Terra Nova'

Fox cancels 'Terra Nova'

Guess we’ll likely never find out what the Badlands were all about.

Fox has cancelled prehistoric dino drama Terra Nova after one season, ending months of will-they-or-won’t-they speculation. Studio 20th Century Fox TV, however, says they fight Terra Nova’s extinction event by shopping the series to other networks.

The decision was handed down despite a few factors that were in the show’s favor: A creatively strong two-hour finale, which won over many of the show’s grumbling detractors; Fox cancelling Monday night veteran House; and another Monday sci-fi drama, Alcatraz, under-performing in recent weeks.

Michael Gambon promoted to series regular on HBO's 'Luck'

Michael Gambon promoted to series regular on HBO's 'Luck'

Michael Gambon has been upgraded to a regular cast member in HBO's drama Luck.

Created by David Milch of Deadwood, Luck stars Dustin Hoffman as Chester 'Ace' Bernstein who becomes an owner of a racehorse after completing his three-year term in a California federal prison.

Gambon plays Ace's former business partner named Michael 'Mike' Smythe, who was the reason why Ace was thrown in prison.

The Harry Potter actor will now star as a regular in season two, reports Deadline.

Margarita Levieva has also joined the Luck cast in a recurring role in season two as the sister of Nathan Israel (Patrick J Adams), according to the reports.

Luck premiered in January and has been renewed for a second season.

MTV Movie Awards 2012 to return to California's Gibson Amphitheatre

The 2012 MTV Movie Awards will make its return to the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California.

Each year, MTV honours movies from the past year, as well as previewing upcoming movies.

The 2012 MTV Movie Awards will be produced for the first time by Jesse Ignjatovic, who served as an executive producer for last year's MTV Video Music Awards and the 17th Annual Critics' Choice Movie Awards.

The cable network's president Stephen Friedman said in a statement: "Just as Jesse has done with our Video Music Awards, we know he'll infuse this year's Movie Awards with creative, musical and cinematic elements that fully tap into the sense of awe our audience experiences in a movie theatre.

"In his inspired hands, this year's show will be re-imagined to deliver a telecast that reflects our audience's favourite films, music and stars."

Last year, Twilight took home the most awards including 'Best Kiss' and 'Best Movie'.

Queen Latifah's 'The Star Next Door' talent show picked up by The CW

Queen Latifah's 'The Star Next Door' talent show picked up by The CW

The CW Network has ordered three new reality series for this summer, including a nationwide music competition from Queen Latifah.

The actress and rapper's show is titled The Star Next Door, and is executive produced by The Biggest Loser's Dave Broom.

Mentors including Gloria Estefan and country star John Rich will travel the country to discover existing local talent. Produced by Raquel Productions, 25/7 Productions and Flavour Unit Entertainment, more mentors and a host are due to be revealed soon.

Following the success of last year year's Oscar-winning Black Swan, Breaking Pointe will provide a look inside the competitive world of ballet dancing.

Set inside the Ballet West company in Salt Lake City, Utah, Kate Shepherd (Big Brother: According to Russell Brand) and Bill Langworthy from The Hills' spin-off The City will team up to executive produce the show.

The series comes from BBC Worldwide, where Izzie Pick Ashcroft and Jane Tranter are executive producers.

Finally, The Catalina delves inside the lives of staff at a hotel of the same name, situated on vibrant Miami's South Beach. From Bischoff Hervey Entertainment, Eric Bischoff and Jason Hervey from iMPACT Wrestling and Confessions of a Teen Idol are executive producers.

The new programmes join previously announced game show Oh Sit!. Described as a high-stakes, high-octane musical chairs competition, the format features 20 thrill-seeking daredevils playing musical chairs across five obstacle courses, soundtracked by a live band.

The CW president Mark Pedowitz said: "One of my first goals here at The CW was to increase the number of hours of original programming, both throughout the season and during the summer.

"With these four new reality series, we're launching our biggest summer schedule yet which will boost our circulation during the summer months and provide us with a promotional platform for our fall launch."

'Misfits' Joe Gilgun: 'Series four will have a fresh outlook'

'Misfits' Joe Gilgun: 'Series four will have a fresh outlook'

Joe Gilgun has confirmed that he will appear in the fourth series of Misfits.

The This Is England star, who debuted in the E4 drama's third run as Rudy, told CultBox that the new episodes will have a "fresh outlook".

"I'm really looking forward to it, and I'm also mildly terrified of it, 'cos there's a lot of work involved, but it's such a good laugh when you're doing it," he explained.

Misfits will introduce three new regular characters, following the departures of Iwan Rheon (Simon) and Antonia Thomas (Alisha).

"I'm looking forward to [the next series] 'cos there's going to be some new characters and I think that's a really good thing," said Gilgun. "[It'll give the show] a fresh outlook."

Misfits was officially picked up for a fourth year in December.

The series will return to E4 in late 2012.

'Mad Men' star Jon Hamm 'knows exactly how show will end'

'Mad Men' star Jon Hamm 'knows exactly how show will end'

Mad Men star Jon Hamm has dropped more hints about the fifth season.

The '60s-set period drama will return later this month with two-hour premiere 'A Little Kiss'.

"It's every man for himself [in season five]," Hamm told Vulture. "That's obviously not gender-specific. Everybody is acting in their own self-interest, and that creates some pretty good dramatic tension."

He added: "It's a world that's consistently in a state of flux. There are things done [this season] that can't be undone."

The actor also revealed that he knows "exactly" how Mad Men will end, at the conclusion of the show's seventh season.

"I think [creator] Matt [Weiner] has a very clear, very beautiful ending for this story, and I look forward to telling that story and arriving at that ending," he said.

Hamm recently criticised the "billionaires" he believed to be responsible for the 18-month gap between Mad Men's fourth and fifth seasons.

The show returns to AMC in the US on March 25 and will air in the UK two days later on Sky Atlantic.

Jennifer Morrison 'not returning to House for series finale'

Jennifer Morrison 'not returning to House for series finale'

Jennifer Morrison has confirmed that she will not return to House for the show's series finale.

The Fox medical drama, which stars Hugh Laurie, will conclude on May 21 after eight seasons.

Morrison, who played Dr Allison Cameron from 2004 to 2010, told Entertainment Weekly: "No-one's contacted me [about returning], and we're way too close for it to even be a possibility."

The actress, who currently stars in ABC's Once Upon a Time, added: "It's a really special show and became an important part of television pop culture. I feel really lucky to have been a part of it."

Last year, Morrison told that she would "love" to return to House for a guest appearance.

"I love Cameron and I'll always have an affection for [that character]," she said. "So if I were given the opportunity to [come back], of course I would."

Lisa Edelstein (Lisa Cuddy) will also be absent from the final House episode, it was confirmed last month.

The instalment will be directed and co-written by House creator David Shore.

'Dancing on Ice' Andy Whyment: 'Judges' criticism annoyed me'

'Dancing on Ice' Andy Whyment: 'Judges' criticism annoyed me'

Coronation Street actor Andy Whyment has defended his performances on Dancing on Ice, hitting out at the constant criticism he picked up from the judges.

Whyment challenged the negative remarks he got from Robin Cousins, Katarina Witt and Louie Spence for his 'Don't Look Back In Anger' routine, claiming that he was proud of his improvement on the ice.

"When they said it was emotionless it really annoyed me, because you put a lot of hard work into it. It's not like you just turn up on a Sunday and do the show; you train for two hours a day and I actually thought I'd skated really well," Whyment told This Morning.

"As far as I was concerned it was called Dancing on Ice and not Emotion on Ice and I thought I skated better. I was just a bit upset."

Whyment and his pro skating partner Vicky Ogden will be taking part in the Dancing on Ice tour and the soap star confessed that he was pleased to be getting a short break from the ice before heading out on the UK jaunt.

"I knew I was never going to win it, so I'm glad I'm out now, so I can have a couple of weeks off before we start rehearsals for the tour," he said.

"You kind of get wrapped up in the Dancing on Ice bubble and last week I was only home for a day and a half and I've got two young children. My wife has been fantastic; she really has and I'm just made up that I'm out now and can spend a bit of time with them."

Dancing on Ice continues this Sunday (March 11) with Props Week.

Gloria Estefan is helping the CW keep it real.

Gloria Estefan Series, Two Other Reality Shows Get CW Greenlight

Gloria Estefan is helping the CW keep it real.

The Latin pop performer has signed on to mentor in "The Star Next Door," a new music reality series and one of a trio of reality shows that the CW announced Monday.

Executive-produced by Queen Latifah and Dave Broome (of "The Biggest Loser"), "The Star Next Door" will feature Estefan, country singer John Rich and other musicians scouring the nation for homegrown talent, grooming and mentoring the local performers as they prepare to ready themselves for a nationwide audience. The series is being produced by CBS's Raquel Productions, 25/7 Productions and Flavor Unit Entertainment, with additional mentors and a host to be announced at a later date.

Also announced by the CW on Monday: "Breaking Pointe," which will deliver "an intense, unfiltered look at one of the most competitive ballet companies in the country, Ballet West, in Salt Lake City, Utah." The BBC Worldwide Productions series promises to expose the "gritty dog-eat-dog world of extreme athleticism, focus, dedication, passion, pressure and, of course, the hunt for the unattainable…perfection," according to the CW. Kate Shepherd and Bill Langworthy are executive-producing, along with Izzie Pick Ashcroft and Jane Tranter, who will executive-produce for BBC Worldwide Productions.

Finally, "The Catalina" will follow the young, wild and fun-loving staff at The Catalina hotel in Miami's South Beach, who spend their time "partying even harder than their guests." Eric Bischoff and Jason Hervey are executive-producing for Bischoff Hervey Entertainment.

The three new series join the previously announced "Oh Sit!" which is described as "a fun, high-stakes, high-octane musical chairs competition" featuring daredevils performing demanding physical challenges.

The Osbournes to Return to TV -- in Animated Form

The Osbournes to Return to TV -- in Animated Form

"Ozzy Osbourne" and "animated" aren't words that are typically associated with each other -- but that's all about to change.

Toronto-based animation group Cuppa Coffee Studios -- the people behind Comedy Central's "Ugly Americans" -- will launch a new series featuring Ozzy, Sharon, Kelly and Jack in April. The series is dubbed "The F'n Osbournes" -- though, according to Cuppa Coffee, the "F" stands for "family."

According to Cuppa Coffee Studios' president Adam Shaheen -- who created the series and will co-executive produce the series, along with Sharon and Jack Osbourne -- the stop-motion offering "combines absurd animated sitcom premises that only the Osbournes can pull off!”

"The F'n Osbournes" will begin production over the summer. Cuppa Coffee hopes to finalize sales of the series at the MIPTV gathering in Cannes, which takes place in early April. The family will play themselves on the series.

Though Sharon Osbourne has been a fairly ubiquitous presence on the small screen with stints on "The Talk" and "America's Got Talent," and Kelly Osbourne can regularly be seen as a host on the E! program "Fashion Police," this will be the first small-screen venture for the Osbournes as a family unit since their short-lived variety series "Osbournes Reloaded" on Fox in 2009.

James Cameron Leading Titanic 100th Anniversary Special on NatGeo

James Cameron Leading Titanic 100th Anniversary Special on NatGeo

"National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence" -- and "Titanic" movie Oscar winner --  James Cameron will lead a new two-hour special called "Titanic: The Final Word With James Cameron" on April 8 to mark the 100th anniversary of the Titanic's sinking.

Described as the "ultimate cold-case investigation into the tragedy," Cameron's NatGeo special will unfold on a sound stage with a 42-foot replica of the ship in the background, as Cameron gathers the world's foremost Titanic experts -- engineers, naval architects, artists and historians -- to try to come up with the ultimate explanation of why the unsinkable ship sank in April 1912.

"An investigation of this magnitude has never been attempted before, and some of the revelations may alter the fundamental interpretation of what exactly happened to the Titanic," according to a NatGeo release.

On April 9, National Geographic Channel will air "Save the Titanic With Bob Ballard," in which Ballard, the man who discovered the Titanic's final resting place in 1985, travels to Ireland to meet some of the men who helped build the ship and discusses how the ship's remains are in danger from looters, among other threats.

"If the Titanic is not protected and there's no guard on duty, it will get stripped," Ballard said in a statement. "It'll get stripped until all the jewels have been taken off the old lady's body."

National Geographic magazine will devote a cover story to the Titanic anniversary; Cameron's 1997 "Titanic" film, which won 11 Oscars, will be re-released on April 4, including IMAX 3D showings.
