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 [...]

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 [...]

Amazing. Brilliant. Terrifying. Heart-breaking. Fabulous. Devastating. All words that could describe episode four of Torchwood: Children of Earth.

Tonight sees the BAFTAs (or the British Academy Film Awards, seeing as the telly ceremony happens at a different time nowadays), otherwise known as the awards where Kate Winslet is likely to win something, unlike the Oscars. Nominated for best actress for both Revolutionary Road and The Reader, we all know which one she’s [...]

I see a little silhouetto of a muppet.
Oh dear, what are you on about now? Join the discussion here.
I saw them perform it "live" on GMTV this morning and I nearly spluttered out my tea.
