The new series of Being Human kicked off with the energy and twisty-turniness of a series finale.
The fifth and final series of The Sarah Jane Adventures, though a bittersweet experience, is the last great reminder of why generations have fallen for the feisty reporter.
Right from the off, the latest episode of Sky1’s middle-aged men on the run series tells you this is gonna be a different instalment of Mad Dogs. Very different indeed.
The first episode of Being Human‘s new series is uncompromisingly bleak, and utterly brilliant.
Based on this first episode, the show’s confidence in itself hasn’t been dented by the loss of Andy Whitfield, and the story-telling remains impressively assured.
As the BBC’s long-running con drama comes to an end, Hustle still manages to attract the big names and this week sees features a turn from Mr Larger-Than-Life himself, Torchwood‘s John Barrowman.
Rich’s centric episode sees Grace waking up after the dramatic car crash in Morocco, but before Rich can snatch her up for himself, she is moved to a clinic in Switzerland.
This week’s central character, Rich, now separated from his heart’s desire, must come to terms with her absence.
