NICE to see This Is Spinal Tap, spoof documentary about the world's most gormless heavy metal group, turning up on ITV4 last weekend. In a film full of great one-liners, arguably the best comes courtesy of an extract from a withering album review: 'This pretentious, ponderous collection of religious rock psalms is enough prompt the question, "What day did the Lord create Spinal Tap, and couldn't he have rested on that day, too"?'

FOUL PLAY, MONDAY, RTÉ2, 10PM NOTHING will ever change my mind about practical jokes being the lowest form of humour. Yet, ashamed though I am to admit it, I've always found something strangely compulsive about Candid Camera-style pranks. This new series, which is fronted by the deeply irritating Aidan Power, only strays from the standard format in that all the victims are well-known sporting personalities. Among the targets in the first instalment was a surly Cian Healy, who got increasingly narked with over-familiar restaurant staff as he had dinner with his model girlfriend. But the highlight involved Kenny Egan sitting down to be interviewed by Ryan Tubridy for a fictional show called Tubridy's Tunnel Tales. To be fair to him, Tubridy played a blinder as the preening presenter. He was rude to the crew, boasted about his lack of grey hairs, insulted his guest's dress sense and then introduced him as Kian Egan. Though evidently nonplussed at his host's behaviour, the likeable Egan remained calm and charming throughout. Or, at least, he did until a crew member who'd dropped Tubridy's phone into a bowl of water tried to pin the blame on him. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
