SUE’S GAME OF ZONES…

DON’T expect to see programme bosses rushing to make dramas about the coronavirus pandemic any time soon.

It seems they would be a turn-off right now.

Chief commercial officer for Sky Studios, Jane Millichip, said: “Most want to be taken away from it.

“There’ll be a period of rest before we look at Covid dramas.”

COMEDIAN Sue Perkins reckons her new show Along The Us-mexico Border reminded her of Game Of Thrones.

The former Bake Off presenter met people living on both sides who are facing US President Donald Trump’s “tribal” plans to build a giant wall to keep immigrants out.

And Sue – pictured here at a festival in the Arizona border town of Nogales – says: “I think of Game Of Thrones almost constantly.

“On one hand, it’s the most joyfully silly gadabout medieval fantasy epic, but on the other hand it shows people as small-minded and obsessed with our own tribal acquisitions, which we are.”

The two-part BBC One show airs on September 7 and 8.

DID you know that if everyone in the UK wore a blue single-use surgical mask (containing non-recyclable plastic) every day, it would create 128,000 tonnes of waste?

That is just one of the many alarming facts uncovered by Hugh Fearnley-whittingstall and Anita Rani on their BBC One show War On

Plastic: The Fight Goes On, which airs tonight at 9pm.

Anita – pictured here with Hugh in what looks like recycled clothing – warned: “If not disposed of responsibly, they end up in landfill and our oceans.

“We don’t need to buy them – we can buy re-usable washable masks or make our own.”
