Dance magic dance

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 haven’t been able to get into new Channel 4 import The Good Wife, because whenever I’ve seen it, I’ve spent the time wishing I was watching Damages instead. Thankfully, the long wait for series three is now over, as it arrives on BBC One tonight. The Wednesday scheduling will take some getting [...]

In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past six months and haven’t noticed, tonight is the silver anniversary of EastEnders. The Beeb have been showing off a lot about how brilliant it all is, and whilst I have totally loved all the coverage, it does need pointing out that there have [...]

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 [...]

If you were asked about the cult/sci-fi TV you were excited about seeing in 2010, I imagine, like me, names like Doctor Who, Ashes to Ashes and Being Human would be high on the list (maybe even Lost for those who are still keeping up. But I can’t think Heroes or Survivors would have [...]

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?

Soapstar Superstars: November

Post image for Soapstar Superstars: November

November has been slim pickings in soap world, with the dreary murder storylines in several soaps dominating to the detriment of more interesting things. So there may be a few returns for the people our forum users just love to love and love to hate in today’s update. I’d love to hear who [...]

It’s gone from the BBC Three backwater to official National Treasure status in a couple of years, and its popularity even seems to have survived the abomination that was Horne & Corden. Now Gavin & Stacey returns for its third and final series. The first series saw the titular couple fall in love and get [...]

Never mind the Paradocks

Well it’s a tense crime / adventure / mystery drama thing, see. Or hang on, maybe it’s a bit sci-fi. And it’s like, dead serious and all about morality And That, although it sounds a bit silly. Frankly I can’t tell from the trailers or publicity what the hell Paradox is supposed to be about, [...]
