Returning to Five this week for its 12th series, Fifth Gear promises more facts than ever before about the most important new cars, along with the usual mix of stunts and challenges that push cars and presenters to their limits.

It is the first day of term at Bedgrove Infant School in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, and 30 four-year- olds are about to start ‘big school’ for the first time.
Starting today on Five is an intimate documentary series that follows the new members of Class FF

I was doing a bit of lunchtime channel hopping today when I came across an old episode of Dawson’s Creek on Five.
I used to love Dawson’s Creek when it first aired. In fact I was somewhat of an addict. However in the years that passed I have put that strange love of a group of geeky, rambling teenagers down to rampant adolescent hormones.
There was noting else on the box this afternoon, (unless you count Dale’s Supermarket Sweep) so I settled on Five for old times sake. When I watched this show originally, I was barely in my 20s, so could empathise with Dawson and Co’s teenage angst somewhat. I am now in my thirties (just!) so imagine my surprise when once again I ended up in tears as Pacey broke up with his teacher, and Joey watched her sister Bessie in a home birth with her new son.
It was nice to see Katie Holmes looking naturally pretty, rather than styled to death with her recent POB. I think I might just use my latest discovery at Locate TV and check out when, and where Dawson’s Creek is repeating. I could get into this show all over again!
