| What To Watch | | The Kevin Bishop Show, C4, 10pm | Kevin Bishop is a kind, if hyperactive, lad in real life, who despite his Cockney charm has probably done his best work in a French film  . The best moments of his show are when he's being rude about stuff we hate: the gurning of Horne and Corden, the stupid Gok Wan rhyming and anglophile Americans. There's also a nice take on Frost/Nixon sequels. Parkinson/Emu, Best/Wogan and Reed/Aspel. The duff moments are his take on House (don't mess with Laurie) and a sketch that's a bit too close to John Thomson's Bernard Righton. We've not seen his Harry Hill (in the pic) yet as it wasn't in this ep, but it better be good. Or else.
| | Classic Goldie, BBC2, 9pm | Following up on his success in Maestro, (touchingly, he's delighted that he now gets props from old people in Berkhamsted Waitrose) Goldie has been asked to compose a classical piece to be played at the Proms. It's given the full wind up as a massive challenge and he seems daunted (though peeved he's not allowed to conduct it). But then you realise that the piece will be 8 minutes long and he'll have a computer to help him. 8 minutes? tvBite could knock that out in its sleep. That's just a double John Cage's 4 11. Or just do Inner City Life in a Hooked On Classics style. That'd go down a storm.

| | Rock n' Roll Hotel, BBC1, 10.35pm | Taking over from the ready wit and chat of Jonathan Ross, there's a documentary on, um, building a hotel. And it's a bohemian, artistic hotel in Soho that's the dream project of Mark Waller, the kind of boastful tool that right-thinking people loathe after 20 minutes. That said, Waller does manage some class idiocy and slapstick. He manages to slip over on his nightclub and fall flat on his stupid face. Of course, the budgets go over, people forget to order stuff and the rooms look vile. As he's a dick, you badly want him to fail. And he probably would, had the BBC not seen fit to give him three 40-minute adverts on Friday night.

Have a good weekend you lot. We love you all loads.
Particular thanks to whoever it was sent in an e-mail about why we hate Rick Stein. It was funny and bang on the money but we accidentally deleted it.
Anyone come via the facebook ad? Wanna write a preview? Tell us anything?
