Andy Dougan's Movie World Steve Wings It

NEVER work with animals or children they say, and to that funnyman Steve Carell might also add, if you must work with birds make sure they are hungry! Carell stars as a modernday Noah in Evan Almighty, the sequel to Bruce Almighty. He's an anchorman turned politician who is told to build an ark by God.

Big Screen Action All Ark for Ark's Sake

EVAN ALMIGHTY (PG) 1/5 The most expensive comedy ever made - and not a laugh in sight ONE of the most common debates about the existence of God is why he allows bad things to happen to good people. I couldn't help but ponder that very point as I watched this mirthless comedy while desperately trying to suppress an anguished cry of "Why, God? Why?"

Goodbye to the Sex Symbol Richard Gere Explains What Drew Him to His Latest Role and Why He's Too Old to Be a Heartthrob

10 Questions for Melinda Messenger

TV PERSONALITY Melinda Messenger is the girl next door who found fame on page 3 and went on to front Five's Fort Boyard and star on Celebrity Big Brother.

Pick of the Day Shark, Five, 10pm

'D.A.' has a distinctly more glamorous ring to it than 'procurator-fiscal', don't you think? Perhaps if this show was made in Scotland it would be called 'McClumpha' and follow the thrill-a-minute life of a solicitor in the PF's office facing the wrath of motorists appealing parking fines.
