This show seems to bring a lot more work for the celebs than any other reality tv show.



On the decision not to bring back Richard Madeley and Judy Finnegan, who were behind the successful book club, Ross said: "Everybody felt it was time to move on. They had six successful years. It was time for a change." Instead, five "recognisable stars"—Brand, Spikey, Parker, Wan and actress and "Strictly Come Dancing" contestant Laila Rouass—will present the shows. Series one begins on 17th January 2010. The summer series will comprise eight episodes, championing "the best in holiday reads".

That's interesting, thanks

Isn't she back in Primeval. it was canceled but last reported as coming back after some other channels backd it?

Maybe Laila is a multi-tasker

I've become a big fan of Laila's and will definitely tune into this show

Didn't I read that she's joining Eastenders? Or have I been hallucinating - again?

No, I heard that rumour too.

I hope it's untrue, Laila is far too glam for Eastenders

I think she was designed for the role of Amira, but it was rumoured she was going to join a while ago. Like when she was pregnant, Lol.

I think it's not due back till 2011 now, which seems like a rather long time...as far as I know all the cast are coming back for it though. Which is good as I love her as Sarah Page.

It starts filming in March and yes, as far as we know, she's definitely back.

Who are Brand, Spikey, Parker and Wan ?

That would be Gok and Russell for Wan and Brand I assume ?

Comedians Jo Brand and Dave Spikey, stylist Gok Wan and actor Nathaniel Parker (Inspector Linley).

is this set up to be the book-based Loose Women?

It doesn't work , I tried it

Well, if it's Channel 4, I can't watch even if I wanted to .
