Stars in their minds

PARANORMAL! Sally Morgan: Star Psychic, ITV2, 11.30pm

We scoured the Radio Times for something to write about today, and found ourselves coming up rather short. There doesn't seem to be anything that we haven't already covered recently that we could muster up any any interest in, so we found ourselves scraping the bottom of the lowculture barrel and resorted to things airing late at night on digital TV that sound quite easy to make fun of. We don't feel proud about it.

We have a faint recollection of catching a smattering of this once while we were waiting for something else to come on, presumably one of the holy triumvirate of Supernatural, American Idol or Katie and Peter. We remember the opening sequence of it involving the titular Sally going up an escalator and looking quite smiley, and featuring a testimony from that week's celebrity, the lovely Kym Marsh Ryder saying how uncannily accurate the whole experience had been. Hmm. All this smiling and positivity is making it harder for us to poke fun. We don't like to take the piss out of nice people, just the ones who deserve it.

Anyway, we're presuming that Sally is a star psychic in the sort of way that Victoria Newton isn't, and her predictions don't involve just saying things like "the Sugababes will split" repeatedly for three years just so you can say that you predicted it by the time it eventually happens. After all, if she predicts the sort of thing that we can all guess from reading Heat magazine, there's probably not much point to the show, so we're guessing she gets to some gritty, well-hidden celebrity secrets. Sadly today's featured "celebrities" are Phil Tufnell and Lady Victoria Hervey, who probably don't have anything interesting to hide anyway, but you never know, do you?
