Things that the US makes complicated #1

Look at this fella on the left, his name is Howie Mandel - and he’s unfortunately become an object of hatred for me this week. Its probably not his fault, he’s probably a likeable and affable kind of guy. He probably took the job he is most well known for because the money was cool [...]

The BBC’s ‘White’ season, has so far been absolutely excellent. At the weekend, I watched ‘Last Orders’ - the story of a working mans club on the outskirts of Bradford suffering the demise of the modern age, and ‘Rivers of Blood’ which was a dissection of Enoch Powells’ infamous speech and its aftermath.

BBC iPlayer - a new kind of magic video?

January 15th, 2008 · No Comments

Due to some crazy scheduling on Sunday evening there were three programmes we wanted to watch all starting in the same hour. The Sky + box is only ever going to be good enough to handle two of these, so we had to forsake one of them.
Louis Theroux Behind Bars was the loser in [...]

Almost inevitably…

June 7th, 2007 · No Comments

Big Brother 8 is barely a week old, and despite the fact its crammed full of cackling, bitchy girls, it has so far taken the same line as the previous events. Tears about hair straightners, cooking duties and who said what to who - introducing a single bloke into 11 women has predictably generated enough [...]
