Oh noes! Two of the big digital channels are launching the new seasons of their signature drama series tonight, and they’re both on at the same time! Which one to watch? Obviously both ITV2 and E4 have +1 channels, not to mention umpteen reruns, so it’s perfectly easy to watch both shows. But let’s pretend [...]

It’s typical, isn’t it? You wait ages for E4 to get their hands on an awesome new US imported series, and then three come along at once. Or is that buses? And now that I think about it, while it’s not technically a new show, they decided to start showing How I Met Your [...]

A few weeks ago, it was announced that My Name is Earl has been cancelled, so make the most of tonight’s triple bill of episodes, as they are the final ever episodes of the show. Unfortunately, although I don’t know what happens in the finale, I’ve heard it ends on a cliffhanger, which is [...]

Now that Skins has finished, and hopefully gone off to give itself a good talking to about the ratio of attention it gives to the bad characters and the good ones, E4 has gone all comedy-obsessed on a Thursday.
The highlight of this new(ish) line-up is, of course, The Inbetweeners. Whereas Skins shows us the lives [...]

Yes, I’m sure that there are other teen dramas I haven’t tackled, and in true BBC disclaimer style, other teen dramas are available, but the [...]

The Gallaghers, Maguires, Karibs and annoying police-officers with pointless sub-plots retrun tonight for series six of Shameless, Channel 4’s most successful home-grown drama EVAH.
Discussing the relative merits of series four and five have the same effect on team lowculture as discussing Sex and the City – i.e. we have a big fight about whether they [...]

TEENAGE! Skins, E4, 10.00pm
Felt old when you heard Matt Smith was the new Doctor Who? Well, imagine how the cast of the previous two series of Skins must have felt when they discovered they were being pensioned off at the ripe old age of eighteen, and a whole new bunch would be taking their [...]

With the new telly season upon us, and a plethora of new programmes to watch, it’s easy to miss some good stuff. So every now and then (possibly once a week, but don’t hold us to it), we’re going to fill you in on some hidden gems you may have missed, but can catch [...]

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 [...]

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.
