As the third season of The Syndicate draws to a close, Hazelwood Manor is having its grand re-opening party and is making itself open to the public. However, this is not the only surprise going on at the Manor, as secrets are revealed and mysteries are solved. The Lord Hazelwood / Julie / Sarah issues are … >
Ten years ago the people of London suffered a tragic and senseless loss when, on Thursday 7 July 2005, terrorists set off four bombs throughout Central London, killing 52 people. A decade on, BBC One drama A Song for Jenny serves as a reminder of this atrocity and how we cope with such human devastation. Centring around the life … >
As we say farewell to My Mad Fat Diary, I feel somehow perfectly satisfied with the story’s conclusion. It ended exactly as it had to: not with massively overblown tragedy or everything perfect, but just as it should be. Poor Rae, who’s been through so much, seems not to be coping terribly well with Finn’s … >
With no-one left to trust, Jo Gillespie is in the final stages of finding out who killed her husband. It seems like everyone is a suspect – they’re all acting shifty, that’s for sure, which is where ITV’s promising drama seems to lose its heart. Sheridan Smith’s Gillespie is still strong, but with a supporting … >
With its big sci-fi concepts, questions of consciousness, and sexy robots, Humans can invariably bring out the Sunday night philosopher in you. Especially when you ponder age-old Asimovian questions such as ‘where is the line that separates AI from human consciousness?’ And, at what point do you mark the definition between £20,000 electro-sex-doll and someone … >

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 second part of ITV’s Black Work picks up where we left off last week, with Jo Gillespie (Sheridan Smith) laying on the floor after being clobbered around the back of the head. Gillespie manages to pull herself up off the floor (physically, because mentally she’s still right down there) and chase after potential husband/cop … >
