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?

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 [...]

If you have been watching Five lately, you will have noticed some trailers telling us that ’someone we love will die’ in Neighbours very soon. If you have also been following recent episodes where there has been much mention of Lucas working on a certain vehicle, you will have no doubt picked up on [...]

Something is very wrong on The Hotel Inspector this series. It’s not Alex Polizzi; quite the contrary, she’s really settled into the role now and is obviously having a ball wandering around the struggling businesses and pointing out just how incompetent the current proprietors are. It’s not the hoteliers-of-the-week either, they’re the usual assortment [...]

This week’s telly has seen some of the most bonkers scenes for ages, and yet there’s no TV Burp to bring them to our attention. So for those of you who may have missed them, here are some of this week’s more ridiculous moments in telly:

a bad man in bad pants

A few things that might be of interest today…
In Neighbours, the mystery over which feckless teen couple are going to have a baby deepens, as does the mystery of why nobody in soap land has heard of contraceptives (apart from Donna, apparently, and only because she forgot to take them). This afternoon, Harry Hill drops [...]

As Ruth pointed out yesterday, the telly is now returning to a degree of normalcy, at least until Wednesday, but I for one am determined to drag out this selection box mullarkey at least until then, if only to prolong that sense of Christmas spirit and goodwill to all. Another glass of eggnog, anyone? A [...]
