If today’s newspaper is tomorrow’s chip wrapping then today TV is – poufff – gone as soon as it’s transmitted. Well, unless you set the IQ correctly, and have managed to stop the rest of your family erasing your recording to make space on the hard drive for all of that “Come Dine With Me” marathon. Thank heavens then for this year’s Logies. Usually TV’s night of nights is an august occasion but this year the organizers have rather let themselves down by allowing a 48 year old man whose sole claims to fame are that he a) wears a rag round his neck; and b) like to eat food and doesn’t mind if people watch, to be nominated for the Logie for best new talent. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Matt Preston) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/a-smorgasbord-of-stars-at-the-tastiest-logies-ever/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/a-smorgasbord-of-stars-at-the-tastiest-logies-ever/#item2810 Sun, 11 Apr 2010 19:55:30 +0000 Matt Preston | Author bios | The Punch
