LOWCULTURE TELEVISION REVIEW OF THE YEAR
Well this year was, erm, fun? Television wise anyway. We started of with Professor Magwitch doing a turn as an annoying woman banging on about her lost child after billions of people died in Survivors. The show also starred him out of Hotel Babylon, Martha Jones and her who was [...]

And so we come to the finale of the penultimate series of Big Brother (and possibly the last series ‘proper’, if rumours of an All-Stars version next year prove true). It hasn’t been the disaster the press have liked to portray it as, even if ratings have been down on previous years. There [...]

Art installations don’t often grace these hallowed pages but One & Other, currently on the Fourth Plinth of Trafalgar Square, is a bit different. After filling London with suspiciously well-endowed naked statues of himself, Anthony Gormley’s new project puts a different member of the public on the plinth for an hour, every hour for 100 [...]

This week has been Big Brother’s much trumpeted ‘10th Birthday’ – except of course, it’s the ninth birthday and the tenth series (i.e. it’s the tenth year, but it began nine years ago). Of course, celebrating it all in series eleven (if there even is one, at least in its standard form) wouldn’t quite [...]

Tonight is the most exciting telly night in weeks (and I’m going to be out, so none of you better text me with spoilers) as we reach the end of two of our favourite series, Torchwood: Children of Earth and Celebrity Masterchef. We’ve written much about the Torchwood this week already, so let’s focus [...]

By now, the average selection box has probably been entirely consumed and cast aside into the nearest rubbish/recycling pile, unless perhaps there’s one particular type of chocolate there that you don’t really like and you’re saving for when those cravings get too much to bear. Unless of course you’re like me and you make a [...]

After another mammoth run, Big Brother reaches its finale tonight, and it is probably the most wide-open final yet. Whereas in previous years there was either one clear winner or two likely winners, this year all five of the finalists have a shot. The bookies’ odds have fluctuated all series, with Mikey, Kathreya, [...]

EVICTION! Big Brother, Channel 4, 9.00pm
So, what are we making of Big Brother series 9, then? I think the first few weeks showed a lot of promise. The mixture of housemates was quite interesting, the house itself was better than many of the previous ones and the tasks were good: the OK Go [...]

QUIZ! 8 out of 10 Cats, Channel 4, 10.00pm
You can tell a telly week is dire when we are resorting to plugging 8 out of 10 Cats. Not because there’s anything especially wrong with the show, but because there is little more to say about it than it’s a game show that’s moderately funny. The [...]

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.
