TRICK? Coronation Street, ITV1, 7.30pmTREAT! Drop Dead Gorgeous, BBC3, 9.00pm Pumpkins! Satanic overtones! Stupid costumes! Going begging from door to door! Something about All Hallow’s Eve brings out the romantic in Weatherfield residents, and who can blame them? It’s two years to the day since Jason ditched Lovely Violet at Les and Cilla’s shambolic wedding [...]

DEVELOPING! Property Ladder, Channel 4, 8.00pm Apologies for that utterly dreadful headline; it came to us out of nowhere and somehow we felt a spooky compulsion to use it. That’s our only excuse. Anyway, Dame Sarah Beeny is back, even though it feels like she hasn’t really been away. We’ve learnt not to get too [...]

COOKING! Nigella Express, BBC2, 8.30pm Perhaps it’s just us, but watching Nigella just isn’t as much fun as it used to be. Far be it from us to be the sort of boring old fart who reminisces about the good old days when all this were nowt but fields, and you could go out with [...]

BACK! The Armstrong and Miller Show, BBC1, 9.30pm It will probably come as no shock to most of you that we’re not especially religious, but every now and then something comes along which makes us question our lack of belief in a higher power. After all, there’s a saying that goes “what God has placed [...]

SOAPY! Grey’s Anatomy, Living, 10.00pm This is, unfortunately, one of those few occasions where we’ve decided to preview a show that we don’t watch on any kind of regular basis. We dip in from time to time, usually when we catch the run on Five, but we are not up-to-speed on the events of season [...]

MONSTER! Frankenstein, ITV1, 9.00pm We’re not normally the sort to sit around making allusions of the approximate level of a someone taking a GCSE English paper, but a change is as good as a rest, we say: in the original novel of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Victor pieces together a creature from offcuts of human flesh [...]

SPOOKS! Ghosthunting with McFly, ITV2, 9.00pm It doesn’t seem like very long ago that we were writing about Ghosthunting with the Dingles; indeed, a quick perusal of the lowculture calendar tells us that it was more or less a month ago to the day. Which, let’s be honest, suggests that the Dingles didn’t do a [...]

SAUCY! Fanny Hill, BBC4, 9.00pm Good morning, everyone! So, did everyone have a great weekend? Disappointed about the rugby result? Sickened by the absolute dearth of talent on display in the first live show of The X Factor, but still nursing a slightly embarrassed liking for the unashamed cheesiness of Same Difference? Yes, that just [...]

PILOT! Comedy Showcase: Plus One, Channel 4, 10.30pm Rather admirably, Channel 4 has not given up on the possibility of finding some new sitcoms to whack out on a Friday, since that is after all officially Comedy Night. Although the naysayers may have been saying their nays along the lines that there hasn’t been anything [...]

ANOTHER CHANCE! The Apprentice, Dave, 9.00pm We’re still not entirely convinced by the logic of rebranding your channel as “Dave”, you know. We follow the reasoning behind it (even if it is alarmingly reminiscent of those “everybody knows a bloke like Mickey” shampoo adverts), but we can’t help thinking that it’s one of those ideas [...]
