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 [...]

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 [...]

THRILLS! Skins, E4, 10pm
