Forget Walter White's on-screen swansong, and don't even bother talking to us about that little thing called X Factor. Homeland? Pah, that's so 2011. There is only one TV show we've been talking about in 2013 at DS Towers, and it's The Great British Bake Off.
The show concludes this evening with a nail-biting final - and if you've been living on another planet, here's our Bluffers' Guide with everything you need to know about the current series.
1. You will either love Ruby or hate Ruby
The most talked about and divisive reality TV star of 2013 hasn't come from Big Brother or The X Factor. Instead, she is on the Great British Bake Off and her name is Ruby. Regardless of whether she wins or not, the student can look forward to a career after the show as either a TV chef or Daily Mail regular. Or possibly both.
Why has Ruby...

The second London festival of photography begins on Friday 1 June, with shows on everything from British identity to the Gaddafi regime, plus screenings, talks and masterclasses
The 2012 London Festival of Photography begins on Friday (1 June) at several venues across King's Cross, Bloomsbury, Euston and Fitzrovia. This year's theme is Inside Out: Reflections on the Private and the Public, which covers current debates on the nature of street photography, censorship, surveillance, the social media revolution and the attendant democratisation of visual journalism. (A day-by-day festival diary of all exhibitions and events is viewable here.) Here are my personal highlights:
The Gaddafi Archives: Libya Before the Arab Spring, 21–29 June
Photographs, official documents, films and artefacts from the huge archive found by Human Rights Watch in state intelligence buildings and Gaddafi's many residences after the downfall of his regime. A glimpse of a recent secret history and photography's role in recording it.

Forecasters predict snow and downpours in the coldest start to May in 70 years with grim effect on consumer spending
It was not meant to be like this. A bank holiday weekend with the mere hint of sun sees streams of motorists queuing to enter the Kentish harbour town of Whitstable. But yesterday afternoon the town's car parks were half empty as day trippers stayed away, opting not to brave the icy blasts whipping off the grey North Sea.
People were out walking around the town, but their hands were firmly in their pockets and their heads bowed against the wind. Few were spending money. Quaint cafes by the quayside waited for business; ice-cream kiosks where queues 30 deep have been known were devoid of customers. For many of the town's shopkeepers, dependent on the down-from-London brigade for their livelihoods, the bitter bank holiday weekend was a major setback after weeks of poor weather.
