If there’s anything that goes to show quite nicely that politics are a load of old nonsense, it’s that in this episode of Victoria, a good deal of fuss is kicked up over who gets to walk into a dinner party first. As if there aren’t more pressing matters to concern oneself with, such as … >
As welcome as a free orange to a scurvy-afflicted local, Poldark comes along to cheer up viewers with a resolutely feel-good hour of TV. It might not seem that way at first: Wheal Leisure’s workers are feeling rather unWheal (unWheal…unwell?…nope, you’re right, I’ll get me coat) and Dr. Enys can’t figure out why. You may … >
Moving on from her recent discovery of El Dorado, a little time has passed and we catch up with the British Museum’s Lady Alex (Ophelia Lovibond) in Rome. Ostensibly in the Italian capital to go wedding dress shopping with her mother, Alex is far more interested in some recently discovered archaeological treasures which have found … >
Week 5 and we’re half way through. We’re down to just eight bakers (although if you’ve been keeping up with the news, you’ll know that’s a better result than Channel 4 have, having paid £25 million for Paul Hollywood in a tent). Andrew declares, sweetly nervously, that he’d like to make Star Baker before he leaves the … >
As we move on from the tragedy in last week’s episode, Army drama makes way for unresolved emotional drama as Georgie (Michelle Keegan) is forced to deal with seeing Elvis again. “I’m bloody relieved to see you in one piece, Lane. Well done…I’m proud of you.” Kicki’s death is clearly still resonating with Georgie and … >
With just a couple of weeks left before Fear wraps up this season, the series stalls with a slow-going episode that clumsily brought the separated characters into each other’s orbit once more. Last week’s episode felt like one story, despite the total narrative separation of the stories at the colonia and the hotel, so it’s disappointing … >
The boys from the Dwarf are back in this ambitious, enjoyable opener to the long-running sci-fi comedy’s eleventh season. ‘Twentica’ sees the gang travel back in time to an alternative version of 1950s America, in which technology – including mechanoid Kryten and hologram Rimmer – has been outlawed by time-hopping Simulants wanting to control the … >
Frustrating relatives continue to frustrate this week in the wonderful world of Victoria, coupled with the usual condescending attitudes of all and sundry, and added political nonsense. Oh, how it makes one grateful just to have met a friend of a friend with a kind smile and married them with no interference from anyone at … >

Between last week and this, as you’ll no doubt have heard, the juggernaut that is The Great British Bake Off has been gobbled up by Channel 4. There’s been a curious lack of celebration by the commercial channel, however – it doesn’t even look like anyone’s baked a cake – and with Mel and Sue … >
