Ramping up the drama with only two episodes left of this explosive third season, The Syndicate features closure for some and continued emotional rollercoasters for everyone else this week. “Nick Harrison was shot last night. He’s in a pretty bad way. The shot hit an artery and he’s lost a lot of blood,” explains DI … >
Oh come on, My Mad Fat Diary! Rae doesn’t deserve this. She deserves a nice cup of tea and a cupcake and for everything to go rather quite a lot better than everything does in this episode. After last week’s car crash, Chloe’s parents ask Rae not to visit her in hospital, because what Rae … >
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak was in the news earlier this week, with his prediction that in the future robots would, rather than kill us with the laser eyes and chainsaw hands, keep us as pets, because we’d be so helpless and adorable. Not as adorable as little Sophie ‘Potato’ Hawkins mind you. But does he … >
To many, now of a certain age, the Paul Daniels Magic Set was the Holy Grail of Christmas and birthday gifts. You opened that garish box and were confronted with a mass of magic plastic – wands, cups, cards, balls to be palmed and pocketed – and the knowledge that you had the power to … >

The tension between … >

Venice! Venizia! The city that has a terrible pizza named after it has seen a lot of crazy things in its history; from sexy alien fish vampires trying to flood the world, to an ageing British secret agent piloting a high-speed hover-gondola through its waterways and plazas, causing local wildlife to do double-takes. But its … >
Last week’s opening episode of Humans was watched by over 4 million viewers (all of them properly human, I’m sure), making it Channel 4’s highest-rated drama in over a decade. Couple that with Gemma Chan’s hint that there’s scope for a second season, and you may as well get used to Synths being around you … >
It’s mid-season finale time and Thunderbirds Are Go pulls out all the stops to deliver a solid, exhilarating and entertaining thrill ride to cap off the first half of the new season.
