TELEVISION NEWS: Murder Most Famous UPDATED!
A new BBC Two reality show will see six celebrities learning about murder (from police and pathologists) before writing a crime novel with the help of author, Minette Walters. The winner's novel will then be published.
I must admit I read this yesterday and today thought I'd dreamed it since it seems so random, but it's apparently true and will be broadcast in March.
Only one celeb has been named so far and that's my guilty crush, Strictly Come Dancing's Brendan Cole, so I'll be watching...
UPDATE! Lovely Jill Mansell has advised that the other contestants have been named as Sherrie Hewson, Angela Griffin, Kelvin MacKenzie, Matt Allwright and Diarmuid Gavin. So that's nice, isn't it?

What a great idea! Because Brendan Cole is an enthusiastic writer who's been scribbling away for years in his spare time, and of course he's got an amazing fresh angle to bring to the crime genre after his years as... a professional dancer. Oh.

LOL, Lucy! But you never know! He might have loads of half-written novels tucked away! :)
