‘Broadchurch’: Episode 5 review

Well, we can probably now discount Jack Marshall as a suspect. Can’t we?

That’s the thing about Broadchurch: to be certain of anything is to risk being utterly wrong. It’s the dilemma the townspeople face this week as their collective gaze turns on a quiet old man who looks a lot like William Hartnell. The murder of Danny Latimer has stirred the sands of the Jurassic Coast, uncovering not only evidence like high tar cigarettes, but also events that some would rather stay buried.

‘In the Flesh’: Episode 3 review

You’ll have noticed this already, but In the Flesh has not been about zombies. It’s been a kitchen sink drama, disguised by rotting flesh. The pale skin and the mutated eyes designed to attract your attention as, underneath, the thoroughly human message of the show has played out: the human capacity for love and forgiveness. It just so happens that the restless dead make a great allegory for laying things to rest.

‘Doctor Who’: ‘The Rings Of Akhaten’ spoiler-free review

Songs. Since the Doctor returned in 2005 they’ve formed a quiet coda in the background of his lives, and not simply because of composer Murray Gold’s bombastic injection of sound. ‘I sang a song and the Daleks ran away’, Nine told Rose. ‘Your song is ending soon’, the Ood warned Ten, and sang him to sleep. And Eleven? Well, he’s played around a lot with a certain Melody lately.

‘Doctor Who’: ‘The Bells of Saint John’ review

For an episode which did so much to ring in the new, there was an awful lot that was familiar about ‘The Bells of Saint John’.

‘Lightfields’ finale review

Suffolk’s spookiest cottage ends its mysterious journey through time, remorse and fashion as Lightfields comes to its inevitable conclusion in the fifth episode. But the finale ends on a more subdued and quiet note than expected.

‘Spartacus: War of the Damned’: ‘Mors Indecepta’ review

Once again, this show burns through plot faster than expected and opens up even more unpredictability to come.

‘Broadchurch’: Episode 4 review

Roll up, roll up, ladies and gentlemen! It’s time for another spin of wheel in ‘Seaside Suspect Roulette’. And what a game it it is.

‘In the Flesh’: Episode 2 review

Last week’s zombie lynching? What zombie lynching?

The final shocking events of Episode 1 may still haunt many of you, but as we open on Episode 2 of Dominic Mitchell’s undead drama, the killing of Ken Burton’s rehabilitated wife is scrubbed clean; washed from the tarmac and covered over with idle chit-chat. An act of un-remembrance at a time when the those killed during the uprising are being honoured by the massed ranks of the Human Volunteer Force.
