Such a shame they're killing her off after bringing her back

Last week

At least Bryan Adams did 16 weeks on pure physical sales!

Remembering Bonnie Tyler who has died aged 75. As Sherene Davis, with a group called Imagination, she appeared on New Faces in 1974. On the programme they performed Armed and Extremely Dangerous. No footage of the programme survives, only a brief appearance in the New Faces documentary 'After All I've Been Through' with show winner Nicola Christie (in front of Bonnie).

She appeared in Hollyoaks in 2013 as part of a dream sequence with Carmel McQueen

I Surrender by David Sylvian did actually make the Top 40 though - No.40

So very sad i had hoped she would recover but not to be. R.I.P. Bonnie, great singer so few Top 40 hits but they were big ones which still gets played all over the world today particularly Total Eclipse and Holding Out For A Hero. A great voice has left us :(

Sky agrees terms for ITV broadcast business acquisition https://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2026/06/25/sky-agrees-terms-for-itv-broadcast-business-acquisition/ Sky has agreed terms to acquire ITV’s Media & Entertainment division in a deal valued at around £1.6 billion, according to sources familiar with the negotiations. The transaction, first reported by Reuters, would see Comcast-owned Sky acquire ITV’s broadcast and streaming operations, including ITVX, while ITV Studios would become a standalone production business. As part of the agreement, ITV Studios would acquire Sky-owned Love Productions, the maker of The Great British Bake Off and The Piano. The production company is understood to be valued at between £80 million and £120 million, based on comparable transactions. The overall value of the deal also includes an earn-out worth around £200 million linked to the future performance of the Media & Entertainment business. Lawyers are understood to be finalising the agreement, with an announcement possible within the next two weeks, although one source cautioned that the timetable could still slip because of outstanding legal work. The proposed acquisition would bring to a close negotiations that began last year and became public in November when ITV confirmed it was in discussions with Sky over a potential sale of its Media & Entertainment division. Separating ITV’s broadcast and streaming operations from ITV Studios has been one of the most complex aspects of the transaction. Once completed, ITV Studios would continue as an independent production company, while Sky would add ITV’s linear channels and ITVX streaming platform to its UK operations.
