So who do you think you are kidding Mr Larry David and Mr Kiefer Sutherland, if you think the Beeb and C4 are toast?

Well after a few years in the doldrums British TV's home guard is fighting back with top series like Little Britain, Peep Show and Shameless. And to celebrate this Shiny Media has launched TV Scoop the first and last word on the best of telly from the country what invented it.

It has all the top goss on what series is coming when and who is playing who, as well as reviews of the big new shows and the odd wander down memory lane (err that'll be infantile posts about Tiswas then) Loads of stories, lots of lists, top tips on DVDs and celeb eBay cast offs to buy, updates about High Def Telly and digital TV recorders and there’s even the odd post about when the coolest US shows are landing over here.

Edited by sometime Shiny Shiny and Bayraider contributer, freelance journalist, and TV-obsessive, Jane Hoskyn,  TV Scoop is the perfect place for telly addicts desperate for a work-time fix of their favourite shows.

You can find it all here.

Thanks to the FT for quoting Shiny Media in a piece about 'brands entering the blogosphere'. As you know it's something we've had experience of thanks to support from the likes of Dyson, Sony and Telewest who have all been so kind to give us sponsorship over the last year or so (big Christmas cards with kisses are in the post to you guys). In the feature Shiny Media is referred to as a network 'responsible for 15 blogs on subjects as diverse as celebrity shoes and Coronation Street, the television soap opera.' (Just in case FT readers don't know what Coronation Street is - I mean it's only been going since 1960). It then goes on to quote Chris Price, Shiny's Commercial Director, who says that potential advertisers are drawn to the 'blogs network which attracts more than 1.5 million page impressions a month' because they want to be perceived as 'hipper and more forward-thinking.'
