Well last night was a treat, lowculture’s favourite quiz show, Only Connect returned on BBC4 and brought with it more witty ways to make us feel stupid and clever at the same time. Which is always lovely, it’s something akin to the same way that fat kids felt when thinking that they were watching Anna [...]

Celebrity Big Brother is back, whether there are actual celebrities is up for debate, but what is not up for debate, is that for at least three minutes, this show will be the most mentioned on twitter. It is the last one so we should put aside our feelings of boredom and revulsion and join [...]

LOWCULTURE TELEVISION REVIEW OF THE YEAR
Well this year was, erm, fun? Television wise anyway. We started of with Professor Magwitch doing a turn as an annoying woman banging on about her lost child after billions of people died in Survivors. The show also starred him out of Hotel Babylon, Martha Jones and her who was [...]

There’s no doubting that in the last year or so the vampire has reigned the supernatural genre with True Blood, Twilight and The Vampire Diaries all attracting huge audiences. On the one hand, this is a good thing (Alexander Skarsgård and Robert Pattinson), but on the other, not so much. I blame the love affair [...]

Knock, knock, (bear with, it should be worth it) knock, knock . Who’s there? The Doctor. Doctor Who? Yes! Well, no, actually. I’m not quite sure who’s there because I’ve not yet worked out who’s going to knock four times. Obviously someone who has never had to actually knock on a door before because I’ve [...]

The Mayans were a bit off with their calculations, the world won’t end in 2012, it’ll end tonight. The planets have aligned, the stars are going into hiding and in Russell. T. Davies speak ‘The darkness is coming’. Etc etc. Or possibly it’s just an episode of Chelsea Handler.
In reality, the gods over at E! [...]

Since Amstell left, my favourite remaining little pop show (RIP Popworld. RIP) Never Mind The Buzzcocks has lost its way. Depending on the guest host it has either left you wishing for the return of Simon Amstell, or, in some drastic cases, the return of Mark Lamarr. Which is No Good Thing and would possibly [...]

Within five minutes the first episode of the eighth season, Spooks had proven that it is still one of the best dramas around. If any justification were needed for the Licence Fee then this is it. So the Daily Mail and its Army of Tutters can shut their collective face.
Each episode is an hour of [...]

Admittedly it is sandwiched between boobs and softcore porn shows, and it’s highly likely that you’ll see the 793rd repeat of the Jonathan Ross interview, but Chelsea Lately is the best thing to be on E! since Kathy Griffin did their red carpet coverage of the Golden Globes and told everyone that then nine year [...]

Oh Lily Cole. Bless her M&S contract. She may be a student at Cambridge but she’s still a model at heart. As she proved last night on The Graham Norton Show. Which is rapidly turning into a celebrityJust a Minute/Gladiators style tussle between the hundred or so guests that they squeeze onto the sofa each [...]
