*Media Monkey's pick of the day*
Security scanners have been introduced at the studios where Blue Peter is filmed, No, it's not due to badges being stolen, or fears that pets Barney the dog, Cookie and Socks the cats, and Shelley the tortoise will be abducted, but because Jeremy Kyle has started shooting his ITV chatshow at the same place. A source told the Sun: "It's like the studio has gone on lockdown with everything needing to be bolted to the floor so it's not stolen. It all seems a little ridiculous but I guess they've got to be careful with the guests on Jeremy Kyle. The famous Blue Peter garden is just outside - so you can imagine the atmosphere is very different." Hopefully the scanners will keep trouble out - and aren't just made of sticky-backed plastic.
