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 [...]

Tonight’s telly is quite promising, with Hope Springs, Ladies of Letters and Celebrity Wife Swap all starting. But by far the biggest event (and one that has pushed all-new Family Guy back in the schedules so you don’t have to worry about clashes) is the finale of The Apprentice, and your last chance to [...]

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:

Flick’s Mad Dad goes on a JCB rampage in [...]

Post image for Things we learned this week on The Apprentice

The BBC’s remit requires it to entertain, educate and inform – obviously it’s not always possible to do all three in the space of the same programme (with the exception of the edifying, informative and thoroughly entertaining Coming of Age), but The Apprentice gives it a darned good go. With that in mind, let’s [...]

Post image for Wednesday night’s alright for shouting

You may have noticed that there hasn’t been much of note on the tellybox over the last few days, save our usual favourites. Even the Dancing on Ice didn’t muster up much excitement round here, mainly due to the crushing inevitability of a Ray fucking Quinn victory. However, tonight is the most [...]

HIRED! The Apprentice, BBC One, 9.00pm

And so we come to the inevitably disappointing finale of The Apprentice, where, if previous years are anything to go by, the task will suck, the former contestants will promise much hilarity but deliver little (and usually deliver more competence than they ever did before they were fired) and Sralan [...]

NUPTIALS! The Apprentice, BBC One, 9.00pm

With half of the candidates having been FIYUD, it’s probably time for a bit of half-time analysis of this year’s Apprentice candidates. We’ve already said goodbye to Nicholas de Lacy Brown and his kerrazy artist ways, Shazia Wahab after the laundry disaster, Ian, whose task and performance I’d completely [...]

BUFFOONERY! The Apprentice: Worst Decisions Ever, BBC Two, 9.00pm
If yesterday was slim pickings for previews, then today is even worse. (Don’t worry, though, the next ten or so days are jam-packed). The best we can come up with is a a clip show, we’re afraid. We also don’t have much to say about it, sorry, [...]

We are so giddy right now we are in danger of spontaneously combusting. We don’t actually want to combust though, because then we’d miss the new series of Doctor Who, the finales of Ashes to Ashes, Torchwood and Damages, the continued aceness of Pulling, Gavin and Stacey and Rock Rivals, the start of Gossip Girl [...]

SRALAN! Sport Relief Does The Apprentice, BBC1, 9.00pm
We are sooooooo excited about this we can barely contain ourselves. In the name of Sport Relief (we were going to put call ‘0800 whatever’ here, but the BBC website doesn’t appear to have a number for the donation hotline on yet), ten celebrities get to play business [...]
