I know this sort of thing should be right up my street, but I just can’t get my head around all the fuss over Mamma Mia (now I know how all you anti-SATC lot were feeling). I dig Abba (and I’m not afraid to admit it), I like musicals and I’m all for adaptations and [...]

After weeks of utter disbelief at how slippery Michael ‘Sophocles’ Sophocles managed to grapple onto his position in ‘the interview from hell’, unlike the rest of the British viewing public I’m actually sad to see him go. Yes he was the ultimate damp squib, but think how funny he would have been in next week’s [...]

Eurovision
I’ve not sat down to watch this properly since the days of Katrina and the Waves. I remember sitting on the sofa at home, screaming myself hoarse when we won (it was a cracking tune). Labour had just swept to power, the nation were singing manically to “Things Can Only Get Better,” I was wearing [...]

Just a quick round up of my TV thoughts before a week’s break.
So The Apprentice Does Celebrity Sport Relief (or whatever it was called) was on last night. Not sure it really worked this time for a few reasons. One major flaw was that fact that Siralan hardly appeared at all, and he’s the jam [...]

On the one hand: lovely, shiny new, untouched Ashes to Ashes (episode 4, no less) sitting in its review case in front of me; on the other, Torchwood just recorded off t’telly. And what do I choose? Yup, like some weak-minded idiot, I gave Torchwood yet another chance. I can’t believe it. I feel sick [...]

There are a few facts one can state about Harry Hill. He wears big collars; he used to be a doctor; his brand of quirky, off-the-wall comedy isn’t for some people. You can also add to that list the fact that he totally revolutionised TV Burp. Before Hill took over the reins, it was a [...]

So. The Who finale then. Well. I suppose it wasn’t too bad, in the grand scheme of things But maybe that’s because I wasn’t expecting it to blow me away. Half the time I wasn’t sure what was going on, and I’m not sure RTD did either.
So, from what I could make out, the Master [...]

Another Who (almost) finale, another anti-climax. Why RTD insists on writing them I’ll never understand. He needs to realise something that Lucas has needed to realise for years - a good director/producer does not a good writer make. It wasn’t that it was terrible. It had its moments. But it wasn’t nearly as good [...]

I was all set to hate Saturday’s Dr Who. As the opening credits rolled, after the first few seconds of drama, I said to Mr Badger, “Well, this is going to be shit, then isn’t it?” How wrong I was.
The first half was pretty dire though. It was just a Ghosts Of Mars rehash [...]
