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 [...]

Knock, knock, (bear with, it should be worth it) knock, knock . Who’s there? The Doctor. Doctor Who? Yes! Well, no, actually. I’m not quite sure who’s there because I’ve not yet worked out who’s going to knock four times. Obviously someone who has never had to actually knock on a door before because I’ve [...]

Continuing our look at the best in CDs, DVDs, books and whatnot that you might want for Christmas, we move onto DVD box sets today. There are a whole bunch of decent offers around at the moment, and here are some of the best…

2009’s been a quiet time for Doctor Who fans, with hour-long specials only appearing on the big calendar events of the year: Christmas, New Year, Easter and, er, halfway through November. It’s been an especially long wait for “The Waters of Mars,” which (with Merlin and Strictly occupying its usual Saturday night spot) finally arrives [...]

Last year’s series of The Sarah Jane Adventures wasn’t quite as good as the first, but it was still better than a lot of so-called “grownup” telly. New sidekick Rani helped everyone get over the departure of Maria, although the latter’s still not been forgiven in some quarters for leaving and taking her Fit Dad [...]

Fiona Shaw takes on the title role, directed by her frequent collaborator Deborah Warner. And it’s part of the National Theatre’s Travelex season so most tickets [...]

Well what did I expect? Did I think that it would end in a lovely and fluffy way like Doctor Who often does? No, of course I didn’t. But I didn’t expect to be so bloody angry at it. It stands to reason that after episode four, the most powerful, captivating and heart-breaking hour of [...]

As JB from JLS put it so succinctly yet memorably during this year’s X Factor final: Merry Christmas! Assuming any of you can bear to drag yourselves away from your shiny new presents (I’m hoping I’m finally going to get that Mr Frosty ice-lolly maker I’ve been asking my parents for ever since I [...]

CLASSICAL! The Doctor Who Prom, Radio 3, 11.00am
It isn’t very often that The Proms make it on here, and possibly even less often that we cover Radio 3. But today there’s a special Prom that people who don’t neccessarily normally like that kind of thing (i.e. me) might enjoy – the Doctor Who Prom.

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.
