Line of Duty is back! Hooray! No, shhh, there’s no time to celebrate. Because like DI Lindsay Denton (Keeley Hawes), we’re thrown straight into terrific drama.
CBBC’s Horrible Histories gang get together again but, this time, it’s something completely different for Sky1: puppet fantasy comedy, Yonderland.
You’ll have heard of Avenue Q before, of course, the delinquent boozy stepchild of Sesame Street. There’s a major touring production happening later in the year, but those who can’t wait and are down south would be well directed to this latest production from the Brighton Theatre Group.
Whoever would have thought that Danny Boyle’s long overdue return to television would be in collaboration with the creators of Peep Show and Fresh Meat, Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong?
With Europe now at War and Britain enlisting its men, including the staff of Selfridges, to do their part for the war effort, the store continues to attempt to boost public morale.
A stodgy, filler episode this week, that lays bare some poor characterisation. The unspoken is vastly more interesting than the dialogue, though Peter Capaldi and Ryan Gage do inject some humour into proceedings.
We entered the doomed city of Atlantis with high expectations. Its links to Merlin were much vaunted, coming from the same creative team. While their hard won experience has benefited the show immeasurably, Atlantis still suffers the same tonal issues that beset its predecessor, occasionally veering towards broad comedy at the expense of the drama.
Followers of Doctor Who’s Companion Chronicles will already be familiar with Quadrigger Stoyn.
Tom Baker’s third series for Big Finish begins with a bang, bringing the Fourth Doctor into conflict with a rather unusual Sontaran, the formidable General Strang. Demonstrating his unique status, we hear him despatch a twelve strong assassination squad of his stubby comrades in the opening moments of the tale.
Strangers on a Train is a welcome stage adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s novel of the same name, published in 1950 and turned into a film shortly thereafter by one Alfred Hitchcock.
