BBC Three is in the middle of another ‘adult’ season, which appears to be a catch-all name for a group of loosely themed documentaries. Within the adult season, there is a mini-season about mothers, and Danielle Lineker: My New Stepfamily is the centrepiece of this strand, which also includes one with Alicia Douvall’s daughter, one [...]

After last week’s so-so Pulse, BBC Three’s mini-series of drama pilots concludes tonight with the remaining two shows. Stanley Park is up first, and in adapting his play Sh*t M*x for TV, writer Leo Richardson has opted to change the title to something that doesn’t quite so easily write its own reviews. Very much the [...]

A couple of years ago BBC Three relaunched itself with a series of drama pilots, all hoping to become a full series. The end result (eventually – they actually wanted to commission Phoo Action, a show that made viewers lose an IQ point per minute watched) was Being Human, now considered one of the channel’s [...]

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 [...]

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.

As Steven pointed out yesterday, summer isn’t always the time for exciting new stuff in the world of TV (or music/film etc). However, one of the good things about it is that some shows get welcome repeat airings – and those that have done well on smaller channels sometimes get a big channel showing. Tonight, [...]

Tonight’s telly is quite promising, with Hope Springs, Ladies of Letters and Celebrity Wife Swap all starting. But by far the biggest event (and one that has pushed all-new Family Guy back in the schedules so you don’t have to worry about clashes) is the finale of The Apprentice, and your last chance to see [...]

Today is officially a day of mourning, for it is the last episode of one of our favourite ever comedies, Pulling. You may have noticed that Steven and I have been rather vocal in our support of this programme and also in our disgruntledness at its axing. It seems we are not alone. All over [...]

Apparently, the BBC have decided tonight is the night to confront the nation about its overeating. Two ‘human interest’ documentaries follow the attempts of two women (I’m hoping some overweight men turn up in at least one of these programmes because I’m getting very sick of the emphasis in the media on women needing to [...]
