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 [...]

Remember how Channel 4 decided to axe a lot of its old favourite strands at the start of the year to launch radical new factual programming? Well, brace yourselves, folks, because like many of its counterparts, factual stalwart Supernanny has been axed, to be replaced by Jo Frost: Extreme Parental Guidance.

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?

THE LOWCULTURE VERDICT
I trust that by now everyone knows the result of last night’s Masterchef final. If not, be warned, this post contains spoilers and you may want to look away now.

Monday isn’t usually the day of the week when you’re spoilt for choice in the TV schedules, but tonight seems to be an exception, with a whole heap of quality programming vying for your attention.
Channel 4 kicks us off with a new series proper of Come Dine With Me at 5.30pm (following last week’s celebrity [...]

Bugger The X Factor; as soon as January rolls around, it’s all about American Idol as far as I’m concerned. In honour of esteemed fourth judge Kara DioGuardi joining the panel and generally being amazing, for one night only (because, to be perfectly honest, that’s about the longest this incredibly thin idea is going to [...]

Not so long ago, Kirstie and Phil could do no wrong round these parts. Their sensible yet slightly superior attitude to the hapless and deluded clients on their property shows was something many people applauded and they were the people most people would want as their token posh friends.
However, the times they are [...]

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.
