Just like buses, you wait ages for a London theatre opening with a lowculture connection then two come along at once. (Actually they came along yesterday but Damages deserves a day to itself.) First we’re in the West End where Kim Cattrall stars in Noel Coward’s Private Lives. Cattrall is of course best known for [...]

It started out as the show whose pilot was considered “not as good as Phoo Action” and had to be rescued by a fan campaign. Now it’s got a worldwide fanbase, is on the cover of magazines and an American remake is in the works (now let us never speak of that again, it’s already [...]

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 third season of Heroes comes to an end tonight with two episodes in which we’re promised more conflict between Sylar and the Petrellis, and more of Matt Parkman’s family exploits. Sounds riveting, doesn’t it?

Tonight there is high drama on the telly. Law and Order: UK debuts, whilst Heroes returns, and this time they’re on the run from the law in Chapter 4: Fugitives.
Law and Order: UK looks like a very mixed proposition. In its favour, it’s from a very successful franchise (which I haven’t seen, apologies), [...]

UNIT-ED! The Sarah Jane Adventures, BBC One, 4.35pm and CBBC, 5.15pm

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.
