Angela's time

Whilst BBC2 doesn't want Andrew Neil, it's got much more time for Angela Scanlon.

Controller Patrick Holland has commissioned ten hour-long shows: "From Kylie’s gold hotpants to David Blaine’s glass box - Angela Scanlon celebrates the best of the noughties in new BBC Two series".

Yes, The Noughties is a variant on the archive-clip plus 'celebrity' comment show that has sustained Channels 4 and 5 for years, and is sprouting like weeds on BBC2 and BBC4. Angela will be in conversation about clips from 2000 to 2009 with big names like Amol Rajan and Kimberley Walsh.

Producer Simon Goretzki says "It’s a fun celebration of the decade that kicked off a whole new Millennium, with all the best bits and big stories from the worlds of telly, music, film and entertainment. Angela’s enthusiasm and energy capture those times perfectly, and her brilliant selection of guests give each year a proper going-over, sharing their experiences, memories and favourite moments whilst considering what has changed since the decade ended. What audiences will get is a mixture of the personal and thought-provoking, some great music, fantastic clips, a lot of laughs and hopefully some great memories too."

Message to the BBC: just because a would-be presenter has a big agent, you don't HAVE to do handcuff deals...
