So now Lost S2 is all over on terrestrial, it’s now time to turn our attentions to season 3. Click here for some promos, one of which proves there has to be an underground bunker of some sort…
Sadly, I shall be trekking around the Alps when Lost S3 screens in the US, so for [...]

Sometimes I just can’t be arsed to read books. Sometimes the thought of spending a good week or so ploughing through pages and pages of Times New Roman leaves me feeling as apathetic as a hoody. Which is why I really enjoyed Jane Eyre (Sundays BBC1 9pm) last night.
After spending a good year [...]

Luckily my gym has a wall of TVs along one wall. Otherwise, I’d most probably not go there. So, while I was cross-training away the other day, watching Neighbours for the first time a good few years, I noticed that Karl and Mrs Kennedy are back together. Didn’t even know they’d broken up in the [...]

Many thought of it as porn for the middle classes, but for me, it was a perfect opportunity to view the behind the scenes antics of twenty-something solicitors, following their dramatic ups and downs (and not just with drugs), loves and loathes and really get into the heads of those who keep our justice [...]

Check out Wednesdays on Channel 4 – proper Nanny-state telly if ever I saw it. First up at 8pm, Kim and Aggie ask How Clean Is Your House, where they roam around the country, peering through people’s bird-shit-stained windows, and clean up their houses.
Next, at 9pm, the horrendous ‘Dr’ Gillian McKeith tells [...]

Manic depression. That’s rather entertaining isn’t it? Well… No, obviously. But it is very interesting (and neccessary to understand), as last night’s Stephen Fry: The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive (BBC2, 9pm) demonstrated.
Stephen Fry has to be one of my favourite famous people (in my celebrity family tree, he’s my dad), so [...]

It says a lot about the state of our society when there’s an ad for McCain oven chips during Jamie’s Return to School Dinners last night (Channel Four, 9pm)…
Aaanyway…
Jamie (who looks like he’s had a few too many turkey twizzlers himself) roamed around the UK, trying his damnedest to secure healthy, warm meals for [...]

When companies market a product, they focus on the Unique Selling Proposition (USP) – the one thing that makes that product different than any other. It’s the one reason they think consumers will buy the product even though it’s more than likely no different from others just like it. It may be that the product [...]

Can’t get enough of Dragon’s Den (BBC2, Thursdays 8pm) at the moment (hang on, two positive blogs on the same evening? What’s happening to me?) Not sure what it is about the series that’s so addictive. Is it the whole lambs to the slaughter, car crash telly, or is it a genuine interest in entrepreneurial-ism [...]

So, the much-anticipated second series of Extras aired last night, and I’m thrilled to say I wasn’t disappointed. It wasn’t the strongest episode, but there’s definitely something building, with the filming of Andy’s dire sitcom, and Barry-from-Eastenders on top form.
I’ve been reading this book about The Office (yes, I am obsessed) and it [...]
