What a fantastic family reunion last night’s Royle Family was. Six years ago, it was easy to forget how brilliant the series was after seeing yet another Jim Royle talking biscuit tin on sale at Clintons. It had been a victim of its success, rather like Andy’s fictional When the Whistle Blows in Extras. [...]

The question on every young Dr Who fan’s (or more likely, their parents’) lips approaching the new spin-off Torchwood (Sundays, BBC3; Wednesdays, BBC2) was: would it be suitable? Well, during the first double-episode we had five fucks (one real, in a club toilet – nice to see they’re keeping it real), two shits, a twat, [...]
Posted in Wife Swap, boring TV on October 24, 2006 | 1 Comment »
I’m sure that, when they first dreamed up the concept, the makers of Wife Swap (Mondays Channel 4, 9pm) thought they were on to a winner. And, for a time, they were. Take two totally different families and mix them up, making each follow the other’s rules for a week. Then film the mayhem that [...]

I know there has to be some kind of artistic license when writing soaps. I don’t expect exact reality because (as we all know from watching Big Brother Live) real life is just boring. But surely going off on flights of fancy that are totally ridiculous (and treating the viewer like a moron in the [...]

Thursday Night Comedy has come to an abrupt end, with BBC’s Extras, That Mitchell and Webb Look and Mock the Week coming to the end of their run last night. Yes I was wearing a black armband, especially as I’d had a peak at next weeks’ replacements. We’ll sadly be saddled with The Catherine [...]

Now, I know that waking up stupidly early five days a week can tend to make people a bit doolally sometimes, but I really am starting to fear for the GMTV presenters’ sanity. Watching Daily Mail TV is usually amusing enough (I shun the beeb in the morning in favour of lighter fare) with [...]

“Gawd! Ha ha! Just imagine if ELTON JOHN was here! Hah hah hah!” Yes, Boy George, let’s just imagine what would happen if Elton John got into a lift that didn’t work, shall we? Would he impersonate a successful pop star, in a vain attempt to demonstrate his strange sense of humour and seem [...]

You know what I was saying about the X Factor being so damned predictable? Well, predictably enough, the Unconventionals were voted out last week, due to those who watch it being such inane zombies that they mind-numbingly favoured the usual young ‘talent’; boy bands; and various sob stories. It was a shame because I [...]

There are certain times in your life when you know you’re getting old. Turning down a night raving in a field in the middle of no where with a load of absolute strangers being so fucked off your bollocks you accidentally piss yourself and don’t realise, in favour of a nice quiet drink down your [...]

Okay, I’m off on my hols for a week from tomorrow, so there’ll be some down time on this here blog for a while.
Use the time to brush up on this lot while I’m away. There’ll be a quiz on my return:
Wednesday 4thBBC1, 9pm Who Do You Think You Are? See how far back the [...]
