BBC Two's 'Line of Duty' tops 9pm hour on Tuesday night

New BBC Two cop drama Line of Duty made an impressive start last night (June 26), topping the 9pm hour.

The hard-hitting thriller, starring Lennie James, launched with 3.35m (14.7%) on BBC Two and BBC HD.

Ranking as BBC Two's best-rated drama in 2012 to date, Line of Duty retained a steady audience from start to finish.

With viewers spread fairly evenly across the terrestrial channels, BBC One came second in the slot with 3.17m (13.9%) for new factual experiment series Turn Back Time: The Family.

Meanwhile, the concluding part of ITV1's Strictly Kosher - a programme following a Jewish community in Manchester - interested 2.36m (10.3%) and 210k (1.2%) on +1.

Gordon Ramsay's new Channel 4 cooking-in-prison vehicle Gordon Behind Bars beat ITV with 2.64m (11.6%) - adding 321k (1.8%) on timeshift.

Import CSI was last in the slot with 1.55m (6.8%) and 171k (0.9%) on +1, but Channel 5 had a solid night overall with 8pm's Killers Behind Bars (1.32m/6.1%) and 10pm's Big Brother (1.28m/7.2%).

Earlier in the 8pm hour, an hour-long Love Your Garden beat ITV1's usual slot average with 3.08m (14.2%) and 121k (0.5%) on timeshift, while Embarrassing Bodies grabbed 1.6m (7.4%) for Channel 4 (+1: 336k/1.5%), and Today at Wimbledon took 1.44m (6.7%) for BBC Two.

BBC Two's peak time share was boosted by early evening coverage of Wimbledon, which had 2.73m (14.4%) between 5.50pm and 8pm for Andy Murray's first round win.

Overall, BBC One topped primetime mostly thanks to the popularity of EastEnders and Holby City. ITV1 followed in second place with 13.5% (+1: 0.7%), ahead of BBC Two's 10.8%, Channel 4's 7.3% (+1: 1%), and Channel 5's 5.5% (+1: 0.3%).

Big Brother gets nearly 1,000 Ofcom complaints for Conor 'bullying'

Big Brother has picked up nearly 1,000 complaints following an incident of alleged bullying on the show between Conor McIntyre and Deana Uppal.

On the Monday, June 25 edition of the show, Conor was shown ranting about Deana and at one point claimed that he would punch her if she threw water over him.

According to Broadcast, the show had 356 complaints after the show finished and the number has continued growing to nearly 1,000.

Conor ranted about Deana after she was the only housemate to fail an eating challenge.

While holding Deana's epilator, Conor said: "Get your epilator and stick it up your arse. We don't give a f**k! Stick it up her f**king m**ge, stupid b**tard.

"I'm gonna play loads of pranks on her. F**king piece of s**t, I don't give a f**k if I'm pulled up to the Diary Room."

Conor was warned by Big Brother about his comments and has since apologised in the Diary Room.

Lydia Louisa has also complained in the Diary Room that she feels bullied by some of the men on this year's show. Deana and Lydia face the public vote and possible eviction this weekend.

A huge number of threads discussing the issue have appeared on the Digital Spy forums with the majority believing that Conor should be thrown off the show.

In a statement, a Channel 5 rep insisted that housemates were "closely monitored at all time" and said that "Conor's behaviour was not condoned by Big Brother or any of the housemates".

They added: "Having spoken to Conor, and bearing in mind our duty of care to the other housemates, we are satisfied that he should continue to participate in the programme."

Alex Trebek Released From Hospital After Heart Attack

"Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek has returned home after suffering a heart attack over the weekend.

A spokeswoman for Sony Pictures Television said Wednesday that Trebek, 71, had been released from the hospital following Saturday's heart attack.

"I am happy to report that Alex has been released from the hospital and is back at his home," she said.

The game-show host had been undergoing tests at Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute in Los Angeles.

Trebek, who has hosted the game show since 1984, is expected to be back at work when the next season of "Jeopardy!" begins production in July.

Earlier this year, Trebek hinted that he may retire from the show after his 30th year as host and focus instead on charity work.

'Countdown', 'Apprentice' Nick Hewer lands own series 'The Farm Fixer'

Apprentice star Nick Hewer wants to help out struggling farmers with new TV series The Farm Fixer.

Hewer will act as a trouble shooter for small family farms and will aim to boost their businesses in tough economic times.

The Countdown presenter said: "The small family farm is the backbone of the UK countryside. I wanted to use everything I had learnt, over the past 40 years of business, to help them come through this difficult time."

Hewer will offer his expertise to five farms, developing projects such as harvesting seaweed to brewing beer, producing flavoured pet water and entertaining cruise ship groups.

Lord Sugar's close aide's motto throughout the show is "doing nothing is not an option" and he faces stiff resistance from a number of the farms he works alongside.

The Farm Fixer starts on July 9 on BBC Two.

'Spider-Man' star Andrew Garfield 'honoured to be part of Doctor Who'

Andrew Garfield has admitted that it felt like "an honour" to be part of Doctor Who.

The actor - who plays the title role in The Amazing Spider-Man - appeared in two episodes of the BBC sci-fi drama in 2007.

One of the world's most popular characters is back on the big screen as a new chapter in the Spider-Man legacy is revealed in 'The Amazing Spider-Man'.

"The history of Doctor Who and the heritage and legacy of Doctor Who is huge," Garfield said, in the latest edition of Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo's Film Reviews on BBC Radio 5 live.

"It was an honour to be a part of that show, absolutely. And I'm so happy that everyone is now seeing Matt Smith for the incredible actor and Doctor that he is."

Garfield - who starred alongside Smith's predecessor David Tennant - called the current Doctor Who lead "a friend" and "a tremendous actor".

"I am so proud and happy for him," he said. "He... is being put to fantastic use, and giving so many people so much joy, God bless him. I'm honoured to be a part of that legacy."

The Amazing Spider-Man opens in cinemas on July 3, while Doctor Who is expected to return to BBC One this autumn.

TOWIE is absolute b*llocks, say 'Geordie Shore' stars

Geordie Shore stars Charlotte-Letitia Crosby and Rebecca Walker have sniped about their rival reality series The Only Way is Essex, declaring their recent summer special in Marbella "absolute b*llocks".

The girls, who are promoting their own MTV show's Chaos in Cancun spinoff, branded the ITV2 series dull and complained that the TOWIE females were too "prim and proper".

"Did you see the Marbella special? I would rather watch In the Night Garden. It was absolute b*llocks," Walker told Digital Spy.

Crosby added: "It was crap."

Walker continued: "When TOWIE is on, how many tweets do we get saying, 'We can't wait for Geordie Shore to be back on' and 'This is boring'?

"The girls in TOWIE are prim and proper all the time. [People] feel more comfortable watching us."

Crosby commented: "You watch our show and afterwards you sit and laugh about the best bits.

"After I watch TOWIE, I feel really bad about myself. I want to go on a diet, I'm not as nice as her, I'm not perfect and you pick holes in yourself."

Joking about the TOWIE girls' 'no carbs before Marbs motto', Crosby added: "Sometime I wish I could do no carbs before Marbs. But if I was going to Marbs, I'd do carbs in Marbs, before Marbs and after Marbs. And by the pool! The best carbs is a burger and a cocktail by the pool."
