A few years ago, Radio 4 phone-in show Down The Line caused no end of controversy as the complaints flooded in, from listeners who hadn’t quite cottoned on to the fact that it was a spoof. It’s taken its time getting there but the character-based comedy show has finally arrived on TV, as Bellamy’s People, [...]

We all know the easiest way to get a TV show commisioned, especially on BBC3 or E4: Pitch it as “it’s [insert name of literally any TV show] crossed with Skins” and hey presto, you’ve got a series. So here’s Misfits, which bills itself as Heroes meets Skins. Yes, two shows which have the potential [...]

LOWCULTURE TOVEY ALERT!
Hey, did you see that bit in last week’s Marple when Geraldine McEwan regenerated into Julia McKenzie? Amazing! I’m sure I spotted Margaret Rutherford and Joan Hickson during the face-morph as well. (Warning: There is a slight possibility I’m making this up.) Anyway, the cosy Sunday tea-time tradition of brutal murder isn’t something [...]

Welcome back to the second part of our telly recap of 2008. If I can sort out my technical ineptitude, expect a recap of ads in the next day or two, followed by a recap of, well, everything else. Do leave comments on your best and worst moments of 2008, and tell us [...]

PASTY! Bonekickers, BBC One, 9.00pm

UNDERCOVER! Spooks: Code 9, BBC Three, 9.00pm & 9.50pm
Thought the UK couldn’t top China’s Olympic opening ceremony for sheer spectacle and memorability? Think again! The year is 2013 (NB: the year is not actually 2013) and Britain’s south-eastern power base has been completely displaced following a rather inconvenient nuclear attack during the previous summer’s [...]

STRATAGEM! Doctor Who, BBC One, 6.20pm
This is a bit of a ‘people returning’ kind of series of Doctor Who. We’ve already seen Donna, Wilf, The Ood and (briefly) Rose make their comebacks, and tonight sees three more very welcome returns.
In ‘The Sontaran Stratagem’, the first of a two-parter, Dame Martha Jones is BACK! We are [...]

SUPER! Heroes, BBC2, 9.00pm
The wait is over, and season two of Heroes is finally here! Of course, it would perhaps have been slightly more eagerly anticipated if it weren’t for the general chatter, spread primarily through the internet before progressing to the mainstream news media, that season two, curtailed by the writers’ strike, was [...]

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.
