From Sky to U2, this week's winners and losers

Comedy buy-up of the week Not content with snapping up Mad Men and other US TV hits, Sky has now bought the new Betty White sitcom Hot In Cleveland which co-stars Daphne from Frasier. Result. Really current affairs of the week Spend a day watching the 1970 Election on BBC Parliament (Sat, 9am–11pm) with on-the-spot reports from the crowds at Trafalgar Square. (Spoiler Alert! The Tories win.) Business venture of the week A group of Lithuanian business women have launched an island in the Maldives staffed solely by blondes. Someone please tell Boris. Legislation of the week SICK of SHOUTY and LOUD TV ads? The Senate banned them from US TV last week. SSSHH! Made-up movie monster of the week Mega Shark? Giant octopus? Whatever … Coming soon is the Sharktopus! We're not making this up. Least surprising Glasto rumour of the week U2 have got a gap in their tour schedule ON THE SAME WEEKEND. Whodathunkit? Weirdo pop of the week We've been enjoying the sounds of sampled typewriters and grannies on Gold Panda's fine debut LP Lucky Shiner, and the lo-fi rock of Deerhunter's latest, Halcyon Digest.
