Finally we have got to know our third generation of f**ked-up anti-heroes and it’s actually been a fairly fascinating journey.
It’s always a tough question in television: when should you stop? Do you continue for as long as you can stave off jumping the shark and then disappear in a cloud of mediocrity? Or do you announce a final series and do your darndest to make it the best yet?
Slipping out with little fanfare, oh the irony, is a new “mockumentary” (no, stick with us) from BBC Four following the Olympic Deliverance team as they prepare London for the big event in 2012.
The third series of Being Human has been quite a roller-coaster ride, and the finale is no different.
‘So you read minds as well as cure them, do you?’, an angry parent snaps at Doctor Gabriel Monroe in the second instalment of ITV1’s new medical drama series.
On the face of it, ITV1’s recent five-part supernatural drama is an exercise in tired horror cliché and cheap TV gimmicks.
We think of ourselves as being fully-qualified film geeks here, so were very excited when a copy of Taschen’s 100 All-Time Favorite Movies arrived in the post this morning…
Despite giving the initial impression of being a few mood swings away from the original gang’s Cassie, Grace Violet has firmly secured her position as one of the fans’ favourites from this year’s new Skins generation.
Doctor Who writer Victor Permberton’s take on Britain’s relations with Russia is a light one – this is aimed at kids, after all – and is as much about life in a cosy English village as it is about intrigue and mystery.
There’s a good reason why 2010’s ‘A Christmas Carol’ is the first Doctor Who episode to get an entire soundtrack release all to itself, with composer Murray Gold’s music to the festive special up there with the best of his work for the show.
