Advantages: Good picture (once TV is set properly), good sound Disadvantages: Loud buzzing, 'glow in the dark' remote, very dated design
The CyberHome ADL528 is not one of our newest purchases and certainly not one of the newest DVD players on the market. We have owned this DVD player for around two years now and it is still going strong although the design is quite dated.
The shape of this DVD player is very bulky. It is large in width, length and height which are very different from what you can buy today. When we first got it, there were a few problems with the setup as it didn't seem to want to go onto any channel and we could still see the picture behind of what was on Sky or terrestrial television.

Advantages: Great show Disadvantages: Only on for a week
It wasn’t so long ago, I was riveted to Fame Academy – watching the gorgeous Malachi Cush, the equally gorgeous Sinead Quinn and the rather naughty-but-sexy Ainslie Henderson. That time, David Sneddon won and had a number one single not long after. Sinead and Ainslie have since had top five singles and Malachi’s album is due out this month.
Now, however, we have a new style programme gracing our screens nightly for a week – Celebrity Fame Academy. Similar format, same staff, but with celebs. This time, it’s all for Comic Relief.

The celebrities taking part are ...
