Being Human: Series 3, Episode 2 – Dork Review

Primeval: Series 4, Episode 6 – Dork Review
The last few weeks of ITV’s Primeval have been disappointing to this first-time viewer. A few promising moments, but the monster-of-the-week plots in particular have been somewhat weak and thrown-together feeling. This week, our heroes go to a wedding, an old face returns, Emily finally does … [Read more...]
Lady Gaga-designed Polaroid glasses
Love her or hate her, Lady Gaga certainly has a unique sense of style and so it came as no surprise when she was named as Polaroid's Creative Director back in January 2010 -- well, no more surprising than a meat frock, anyway. Recently, she unveiled some of her work with the brand so far in the … [Read more...]
Human Planet and How TV Ruined Your Life: What We’ve Been Watching
It's taken me a while to get around to mentioning the BBC's latest flagship nature (anthropological?) documentary Human Planet, but it deserves its place in the revered WWBW archives.

I have mentioned previously how well old school computer games lend themselves to cross stitching but that's by no means the old craft that works well. This free Super Mario Mushroom cushion cover pattern by the plaid scottie is a fine example of how good old patchwork techniques can be used to … [Read more...]
Primeval: Series 4, Episode 5 – Dork Review
After doing an admirably ropey job on teenagers last week, this time Primeval takes on another time-honoured TV stereotype: the secretive, hostile country bumpkin. They’re here with bells on, armed with pitchforks and Wurzel accents, ready to beat down the ARC team because they aren’t local. Not … [Read more...]
10 O’Clock Live and The British Comedy Awards: What We’ve Been Watching
When UK television has tried to do uber-topical comedy in recent times, the tendency has been towards easy jokes rather than tackling the issues, with a much greater emphasis on the 'comedy' bit than the 'topical' (the well-intentioned but ultimately rubbish Tonightly is a good case in point).
