Jeremy Paxman turns the University Challenge spotlight on Tony Blair. Alan Titchmarsh grows his own, there's Slipknot to listen to on the Juke Box Jury turntable, and Hillary Clinton has just declared Jihad on George Bush.

Further details

DWTWT returns to turn the spotlight on TV and see what happens when the words and pictures don't quite fit. Or do they?

Peter Reid takes charge of a crown green bowling team for a day, Delia is in trouble in the kitchen, Tony Blair tells America what he really thinks, and David Dimbleby's viewing habits seems a little strange.

Weird, wonderful, irreverent, fun as the team of footage fakers emerge from the edit to show us their wares.
