This year’s Let’s Dance hasn’t had anything with quite the same impact as Robert Webb’s Flashdance from the last series, but it’s still been fairly entertaining.
Tonight’s finale includes, amongst others, Cheryl Fergison doing Vanilla Ice, the Grumpy Old Women doing Lady GaGa and Debra Stephenson doing Michael Jackson, but surely the favourite is Rufus Hound [...]

I have a new favourite programme, and it hasn’t even aired yet, but given it involves David Mitchell, Victoria Coren and a guessing game about the news, The Bubble can’t fail as far as I’m concerned.
The premise of the show is that three famous guests are put into a ‘bubble’ of seclusion for a week [...]

I love Masterchef, and I’m glad it’s back for a new series (though please, please make it a little less formulaic) – but ninety minutes of Masterchef? I fear for my eardrums.
The scheduling of the show seems strange – gone is the traditional five half an hour slots a week (which had become three with [...]

Stop me if you’ve heard this one: There’s these celebrities, right, and they’re best-known for doing one thing, right, only they’re being asked to do a slightly different thing. Ah, who says variety’s dead? Anyway this one’s called Popstar to Operastar because operastar is totally a real word. The lineup includes Jimmy Osmond, that one [...]

The wine’s hopefully been mulled, the chestnuts are roasting… or at the very least you’ve unscrewed a bottle of Lambrini and opened a box of Celebrations. So what televsisual treats are there to see you through this festive season?

We were dismayed when the last series of Only Connect was cut short and we were robbed of the ‘Champion of Champions’ episode with the winners from series one (The Crossworders) versus the winners from series two (The Rugby Boys).
It’s finally been scheduled for tonight though, and it should be a perfect introduction [...]

1) Dragging it out over two nights is simply wrong. Also: it does not need to last for FOUR HOURS.
2) I will be watching Robbie and Olly’s duet of horror on fast-forward for the sake of my sanity and stomach lining.
3) It’ll never in a million years come close to this:
The X Factor, ITV1, [...]

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! [...]

The days are short, the weather is cold and wet and the BBC newsreaders are raiding the dressing-up box. Yes, it’s that time of year again…
Children in Need, like all telethon-style events, is always a mixed bag. There’s an awful lot of dross and an occasional gem, and there’s the annual palaver of [...]

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 [...]

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.
