Three Celebs And A Baby (Five); A Good Man... Is Hard To Find (BBC2): If nothing else, Three Celebs And A Baby showed that it wouldn't be advisable to ask glamour model and actress Caprice to babysit.

Over the five days she took care of little Murray, she broke his finger and let him fall off the bed. She also scarred him psychologically by wearing a bandana over her face while changing him. Murray, to his credit, responded to Caprice's less-than-maternal instincts by peeing, pooing and puking all over her.

Both Caprice and viewers will have been pleased that Murray wasn't real but an animatronic baby, programmed to replicate real baby functions and respond well if he was treated correctly.

Caprice had Murray, while interior designers Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan cared for an infant they named Damien, presumably in honour of the little devil from The Omen horror movies. Proud dad Justin thought their baby looked Scottish because of its ruddy cheeks. It appeared more demonic to me, like a demented ventriloquist's doll.

As an experiment, this was more fun than serious - although Colin and Justin, who want to adopt in real life, had done their homework and met mostly with the approval of midwife Astrid, who watched their efforts on closed-circuit TV.

Like any celebrity show, the entertainment value was in watching people who are normally pampered by PAs and money coping with something of which they had no experience. Even assembling the cot was problematic.

The new parents built them downstairs, only to find they couldn't get them through doors and up stairs.

If they couldn't manage that task, you worried how they'd cope with four-hourly feeds, changing nappies and crying. The toy babies were programmed to do all that stuff. The moment little Murray vomited unexpectedly over Caprice was priceless.

Wouldn't it be great if she'd taken it into the Celebrity Big Brother house with her? Come to think of it, the now-evicted Jackie Stallone's startling appearance resembled a larger female version of baby Murray - someone not quite of this world.

In 1991, Greg Wise's first job as an actor was playing TV rock producer Jack Good in a stage show. Good was the man responsible for introducing rock'n'roll to British TV screens in the shows Six-Five Special and Oh Boy!

Nowadays, you'll find him living a monk-like existence in an abode 7,000ft up in the New Mexico hills. He's become a religious hermit. The rocker hasn't exactly gone off his rocker but, as Wise's documentary A Good Man showed, he's more than a little eccentric.

Good has built a chapel next to his home and paints icons to put inside. Portraits of friends and colleagues have been included in the murals. Wise was surprised to find himself portrayed to the left of Jesus. The devil is depicted as a TV set.

Good talked lucidly about those early days of TV rock and roll. But he'd always wanted to be a Shakespearean actor and eventually succeeded in an odd way by casting himself as Othello in his stage musical Catch My Soul.

Good suffers from an addiction to guilt. Something in his nature makes him run from success. "I can't stand the pop culture of today and have to face the fact I was one of the guys who started it," he said.
