World's Weirdest Homes
Rating: 
Catherine King and Wayne Adams might be the most romantic couple in the world. It's hard to believe they're real — they seem to have escaped from the pages of a Booker Prize novel.
She's a dancer, who grows all their food by singing to it: 'Dear juicy tomatoes, I'm so full of gratitude to you.'
He's a handyman, who built their floating home on a pink-and-blue raft off the Canadian shore, with its own lighthouse and open-air dancefloor.
When the cove freezes, Wayne saws a hole through the ice in the living-room floor and sits on his sofa, fishing. Every night, Catherine dances for him.

This wonderful pair of old hippie lovers were stars on World's Weirdest Homes (C4), as Charlie Luxton explored what can happen in those lucky parts of the planet without a district council planning committee.
But far more interesting than the architecture were the characters who choose to live in these crazy houses.
Christian entrepreneur Aad Peters was sailing a replica of Noah's Ark along Holland's canals, hoping to spread The Word.
Unfortunately, Aad's experiment had uncovered a plothole in the Bible story: you can't persuade elephants to live on boats.
Camels and tigers don't enjoy it, either. Snakes seem quite happy with maritime life, he said hopefully, apparently forgetting that the serpent tends to be a bit of an Old Testament troublemaker.
Teenage YouTube star Rashed, who goes by the moniker MoneyKicks, was having more luck with his menagerie in Dubai.
Not only did he have white tigers, a pride of lions and some zebras (a snack for the lions, probably), but the likes of Mariah Carey would drop in to his private zoo to cuddle the baby chimps.

Rashed, you'll be dumbfounded to hear, wasn't just any amateur animal-lover. His dad was a multi-billionaire.
Sixteen-year-old Rashed's other hobby was decorating his collection of Lamborghini and Ferrari supercars in plastic wrappers designed by Versace. And they say money can't buy class.
Beside these characters, amiable Marcio, who escaped from Rio de Janeiro's infamous slums to live in a giant sandcastle on the beach, seemed quite normal.
The real nuts were the scientists at the Mars Research Facility in Utah's red dirt desert, who lived in a tent like half a golf ball and refused to venture outside without spacesuits and helmets.
This worthy project is partly funded by Tesla founder Elon Musk. Surely, that puts an end to those baseless allegations that he's a wacko fruitloop.
Gangsters of the week: The Secret Life Of The Zoo (C4) informed us that a pack of meerkats is known as a 'mob'. That shouldn't surprise anyone. We already know they sell insurance — it's inevitable they'll expand into liquor and gambling.
Death and Nightingales
Rating: 
High on the wacko fruitloop scale is Billy Winters, the whisky-addled quarry boss whose buttoned-up facade can't hide his terrible compulsion to sack everyone he sees, in Death And Nightingales (BBC2).
When actor Pip Torrens turned up as a blackmailing English spy, Billy (played by Matthew Rhys) threw him out on his backside with such force that barrels of dynamite went off and covered the cast in dust. It was a rare moment of action in this suffocatingly slow drama.
Jamie Dornan, Ann Skelly and Billy Winters star in Death and Nightingales as Liam Ward, Beth Winters and Billy Winters respectively
Ann Skelly stars as Beth Winters in the new BBC drama, which Christopher Stevens has given two stars out of five
At one point, it took Billy (wearing a furry anaconda for his moustache) one minute and 15 seconds to ride up the driveway.
He then spent another two minutes soliloquising to his horse.
Everyone talks to themselves in Death And Nightingales, probably because it would be unrealistic to expect others to listen to such prosy claptrap.
At first, I thought that gormless expression Jamie Dornan wears, as brooding farmer Liam, was meant to convey deep emotion, but now I suspect he's just bored out of his brain. At least that hideous fiddle music has been toned down.

Catherine King and Wayne Adams might be the most romantic couple in the world. It’s hard to believe they’re real — they seem to have escaped from the pages of a Booker Prize novel.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
