Oh dear. Not a good week for ITV, eh? First Michael Grade tries to put a brave face on ITV’s 35% loss in revenue by claiming that it’s viewing figures have gone up, then his new hope, Rock Rivals fails dismally in the viewing stakes, pulling in only 3.9 million - beaten by a repeat [...]

Had a few emails from peeps over the last week asking why I haven’t yet commented on the new series of Torchwood. Well, last week I was off galavanting around London with film directors and simply didn’t have the time (dahhrlink!). Watched last night and… *gag* I hate to say it but *heave* It wasn’t [...]

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 [...]

One of the downers of not writing a thing on the old blog over the festive season is that, when you do come to typing up a little ditty, there’s a mountain of things to mention. And so I won’t. It’s another highlights and lowlights for me. Forgive my laziness, but I’ve just been nursing [...]

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 [...]

In the best example of cut-and-paste writing I’ve seen this year, Eastenders have bowed to pressure from hysterical Madeleine McCann wagon-jumpers and have changed their baby kidnapping story line.
For months now, we’ve been heading in this direction. Dawn gets pregnant by Rob. May plots to kidnap said baby. If reports are to be believed, [...]

If you were as unfortunate as I to catch Life Line on Tuesday evening you’ll too be as frustrated as I was to have wasted an hour of my life. An hour. Think of what you could do in an hour… Probably write something better for starters.
The premise of this god-awful two-parter was two [...]

For a series that has certainly had its fair share of orgasms, last night’s Torchwood surpassed itself in the name of irony, and was a total anti-climax. In fact, the same can be said for the series as a whole.
What could have been a great opportunity to show that Owen isn’t just a shag monster, [...]
