One notable change in this series of Merlin has been the scarcity of big name guest stars. In earlier years, scarcely a week would go by without someone from another high profile BBC show turning up.

I’m A Celeb, Children In Need and Alan Partridge: What We’ve Been Watching
The X Factor, Strictly Come Dancing and The Apprentice - I watch them so that you don't have to. Oh, who am I kidding, I watch them because I like them (and Twitter would be a no-go area every evening if I didn't, and I can't be having that). And now I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here joins the … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Tell It To The Frogs – Dork Review
As we travelled wearily through this week’s The Walking Dead, it was easy to get nervous and paranoid. After all, at any moment a zombie or big emotional moment could leap out on us.

Five reasons why Freaks And Geeks is the best One Season Wonder EVER
Freaks and Geeks was a high school comedy-drama which you don't want to describe as such, because it has so much more depth than that description suggests. It was produced by Judd Apatow and, since it was so good, VER MAN cancelled it after one season after deciding it had achieved TV … [Read more...]
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 – Dork Review
So, the prolonged death rattle of Harry Potter begins. A shrieking gurgle that starts in November 2010 and may finally croak its last in July 2011, unless J.K. Rowling announces she’ll churn out another novel. But assuming that doesn’t happen, this is the first in a two-part adaptation of the … [Read more...]
Giles and Sue, Downton Abbey finale and Ancient Worlds: What We’ve Been Watching
A more slimline WWBW this week, in recognition of the fact that, well, telly's been a bit rubbish over the last seven days. A few series have come to an end, and a couple of big ones started the week before, so we've been pretty much in a holding week. Still, you can always rely on Giles Coren and … [Read more...]
