Anyone see GMTV this morning talking about Dan Radcliffe’s play Equus?
Classic Fiona (think it was her. They’re all the same anyway). They were going on about how the nudity is integral to the plot and not gratuitous because the guy’s actually very ill indeed, and in fact you don’t really notice it because the [...]

Not being the most cutting-edge of people (no really!) I sat down to watch my second ever episode of Life On Mars last night. It was the first episode of the first series – how’s that for time bending eh? But no, I’m not a time traveller, nor am I in a coma (but [...]

Well that was pretty good wasn’t it? Admittedly a tad long-winded in parts (yeah, okay, we get it. He can’t make a cup of tea without burning the house down or whatever), but Recovery was a joy to watch. Sarah Parish and David Tennant really go well together: very natural and effortless acting, I [...]

For the first time, I realised what that girl in the ad really meant. Last night I had to choose between duty and a tasty fun treat: Lewis, or Recovery (Sunday BBC1, 9pm) with the lovely David Tennant. I weighed it up, and decided that three hours of anything is far too much to watch [...]
Posted in 24, baddies on February 22, 2007 | No Comments »
The makers of this season of 24 must be playing some sort of ‘how many baddies we can have in a series’ game. And I must say, I’m getting mighty confused.
Back in the good old days, it was easy to figure out what was going on. One terrorist versus Jack. Now it’s [...]

At my school, our geography teacher was also the PE teacher (he put the jog into geography. Ah thank you. I’ll be here all night. Try the veil, etc etc). This lead to geography lessons that were actually fun – one time we coloured in volcanoes, while Mr Sporty (I’m far too old now [...]

Must just point out how sterling Hollyoaks is at the moment – No! Don’t click away. Bear with me a bit and I shall explain why.
Yes I know it’s trashy, but a) it’s actually better than other ‘trashy’ shows I could mention and b) right now there’s some hot shit going down and I’m [...]

Friday 8th April, 1994. I was 14 and was sitting in my room with my best friend Claire, watching a River Phoenix film (The Mosquito Coast, if memory serves – great film, by the way). Then my mum came into my room and told us that Kurt Cobain was dead. She said he had [...]

If Colin Dextor is to be believed, Oxford is the murder capital of the UK, nay, the world. Yes, over the years there have been more deaths in the one-time capital and world famous seat of British learning than Morse had pints (and that’s saying something) and if this were real life, I’d expect [...]

Another week, another programme documenting insane people who can’t raise their children properly. And that’s a bit of an understatement. Wild Child – The Story of Feral Children (Ch 4, Sunday 18th, 9pm) told the story of several children who had been stifled of all human contact and had turned feral.
It was heartbreaking [...]
