Odds and ends

Puppet news: Louise Gold, not Steve Nallon, provides the Thatcher-like voice for Jemima Taptackle in That Puppet Game Show. (Steve did Thatch in Spitting Image, whilst Louise was doing The Queen and Nancy Reagan).  Dave Chapman, who brought you Otis the Aardvark, is Dougie Colon.

Saturday's ratings for the new BBC1 show were slightly down, at 2.03m - probably because Sky released Swansea v Man Utd on Freeview for nowt, and picked up 1.7m.  NBC's coverage of the match in the States attracted 1.2m.

In other ratings: The White Queen finished its run slightly up, at 3.5m.

Property: The Government is putting the old War Office on Horseguards Parade up for sale, and hoping for £100m. It was completed in 1906, at a cost of £1.2m (around £123m in today's money).
