Buildings, BAFTAs and Brits.

Skyscrapers, statues, pubs, domes, gherkins - our city is full of interesting things to keep our eyes happy, just laying around ready for us to look at. This week, our London Architecture series celebrates the men behind some of our most famous buildings.

Is it just us or are this year's Brit nominees more boring than usual? Never fear, we've got a plan to stick it to the man, and have compiled our own list of who we think should be up for the prizes. We also drew up our own nominations list for the BAFTAs. Who knows where our power will stop - Deciding our own Olympic winners? Choosing who's next in line to the throne?

Elsewhere we were intrigued by the huge David Hockney exhibition which opens this weekend, and also found ourselves at the opening of the London Art Fair. The comedy team also caught up with afro-ed innovator Reggie Watts.

Good news for theatre lovers - we're giving away tickets to see one of Noel Coward's best loved works, Hay Fever, next month. And finally, don't forget to keep up to date on our brand spanking new Facebook page.
