BRAVERY! Ice Road Truckers, Five, 8.00pm If you’re looking for something to watch on TV tonight, the first question we should be asking you is why are you not attending the great lowculture meet-up of 2008, eh? Although we suppose there are some acceptable reasons why you might not be there, such as being under [...]

MILITARY! Army Wives, Living, 8.00pm Before you get too excited, this isn’t the near-mythical ITV series from the makers of Footballers’ Wives set on an army base and starring Zoe Lucker and Jeremy Sheffield. Though the two series may have shared a working title at some point, the ITV one eventually got titled Bombshell and [...]

POSSIBLE SWIZZ! Masterchef Final, BBC Two, 8.00pm Oh Masterchef, we love you very much. We love the calamitous chocolate fondants. We love the wacky chefs who combine turnips with popping candy (we may exaggerate, but only a touch). We love the way Gregg makes that ‘oooarrrgh’ noise when he tastes a good pudding. We don’t [...]

SPLATTER! Dexter, ITV1, 10.35pm We’ve got to hand it to ITV1 – when they set out to reposition themselves in the marketplace, they don’t do things by halves. Admittedly, perhaps the first phase of the plan didn’t go so brilliantly, since none of The Palace, Honest, Echo Beach or Moving Wallpaper are really doing the [...]

EUREKA! American Inventor, Virgin 1, 9.00pm Last week we made the somewhat bold claim that Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles would revolutionise Virgin 1 and finally make it a must-watch channel. We’re not planning to make quite such grand claims about this particular American import, but if you’re a Dragon’s Den fan who finds the [...]

REBORN! The Mr Men Show, Five, Mon-Fri 7.30am Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Is it a dream, a parallel universe or another planet? Is it a bold new re-imagining or a parade of distorted foetuses flaunting their personality quirks in the name of entertainment? Or is it just another rebrand? Yes, [...]

RETURNING! Neighbours, Five, 1.45pm, 5.30pm, 5.10am, Five Life, 7.00pm One of the great things about Neighbours is that whenever a favourite character leaves, there is always a good chance you’ll see them again. Even if they die. (See also: Home and Away, EastEnders, Emmerdale). Tonight sees the return of an old favourite, Libby Kennedy. Libby [...]

CELEBRATION! Happy Birthday Brucie, BBC One, 6.35pm It must be nice to still have an influence over the nation on your eightieth birthday. Even if the influence you have is the sort to make us wipe our eyes in disbelief and stare at the screen while watching Strictly Come Dancing, not quite able to come [...]

WARBLE! American Idol, ITV2, 9.00pm, 10.00pm This week American Idol moves from the audition stages to the ‘final 24′ stage. We realise this stage actually started last night, but the front page was pretty chocka yesterday. The ‘final 24′ stage of this show always strikes us as a bit bizarre: it’s not the official public [...]
