Given that I've somehow managed to get hooked on 'Skins', I probably should make an effort to catch the Lily Allen show on BBC Three which has been seemingly building a dedicated following amongst the nation's yoof despite being universally panned by pretty much every critic forced to watch it. The good news for that ambition is that the Beeb's third channel has just commissioned a second series of the show, with the channel's controller Danny Cohen remarking how Allen had "developed astoundingly well as a TV host in just a few weeks" (which is possibly a remark designed to convince critics that the show is not now as awful as the early editions they reviewed). Responding to the news, Allen herself told reporters: "I'm thrilled that we're going to make a second series of the show, it's been such a laugh. I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who tuned in and I can't wait to film series two".
