Piers Morgan on...Thursday 12 February
9:00pm - 10:00pm
ITV1 London
3/3 - Hollywood
Piers Morgan is in Hollywood to try to find out just why one in three shows piloted in Tinseltown features a British actor - but why do some make it, but not others? He asks some of our most successful exports what they think is the key to their success. Vinnie Jones talks about his transformation from footballer to screen hardman. Sharon Osbourne shows us around her glamorous new home. And he meets Scary Spice Mel B on the set of her latest project.

Last ones have been interesting programmes, so much so I have had to watch the repeat of Hustle on Sat or Wed nights now

Zoe from Eastenders got the role of Bionic Woman in America good series by all accounts however the Network cancelled the show after just 1 series. Russel Brand also seems to be doing well out there, I guess they like his brand of humour.

Love the show! And whilst im looking forward to it, i suspect we'll find this episode tacky in comparison to the last - ie. all the money of monaco but a distinct lack of taste!

My guess is that Piers angle on tonight's episode will be how British 'actors' have fared in Hollywood and how some have made it big (if he can get an interview with them) and others have not been as successful

Hugh Laurie is the biggest export success, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild and Peoples Choice winner for House now on it's 5th series. One episode shown after last years Superbowl was watched by over 29million viewers, the 3rd highest viewing figures that week. Wonder if he speaks to him.

You do realise Piers Morgan is doing this series to get the ex-Miners and arch Labourites frothing at the mouth at these wealthy people, don't you?

Yeah the writers strike meant they only had 7 episode instead of a series of 24, they showed them with big breaks between them, as long as 6 weeks in once case iirc and it got canned because it lost momentem apparently. Terminator survived the writers strike, season 1 only had half of its intended episodes but it carried on into a second season.

I have enjoyed the previous two editions of this but i gotta say if im seeing Sharon Osbournce on screen id like to see them being happy slapped than being interviewed or in films/tv etc. I reckon they saved this one till last because they know it wont be as good as t'others.

BTW House is my number 1 TV show on the box at the moment, its brilliant across the board and ticks every box for me. Even if every illness is Lupus the eye candy that is Olivia Wilde more than makes up for it biggrin

So is Mel B. A bit too much make up, and a bit gobby, but she's a great looking woman.

Good start to the program smile
