Dirk Gently and the Secret Policeman’s Ball – What We’ve Been Watching

March 10, 2012 By Anna Lowman

Dirk Gently and the Secret Policeman’s Ball – What We’ve Been Watching

In December 2010, back when the What We've Been Watching column was in its toddling infancy, I wrote a word or two about the pilot episode of Dirk Gently, BBC Four's adaptation of the Douglas Adams detective series of the same name. The verdict was a tentative thumbs-up back then -- but how's the … [Read more...]

Sky’s new comedy Spy and Strictly Come Dancing: What We’ve Been Watching

Sky’s new comedy Spy and Strictly Come Dancing: What We’ve Been Watching

I've been burnt many times before, so when a new comedy comes along that looks promising, I've learned not to get too excited. Perhaps it was that trepidation, then, that ultimately enhanced my enjoyment of a new sitcom featuring Green Wing alumnus Darren Boyd and a My Family-free Robert Lindsay... … [Read more...]

Comedy Showcase’s Chickens and The Jonathan Ross Show: What We’ve Been Watching

Comedy Showcase’s Chickens and The Jonathan Ross Show: What We’ve Been Watching

You can't fault Channel 4's commitment to new comedy. Every year they try out a bunch of pilots in a primetime slot in their Comedy Showcase strand, and over on E4 that's backed up with slightly more left-field offerings in Comedy Lab. So how did the first of this year's crop, Chickens, fare? … [Read more...]

WWBW: reaction to the TV BAFTAs 2011

The TV BAFTAs (or, as we're meant to call them, the British Academy Television Awards) are, I think, the really prestigious awards for that there telly-box, so it was pretty wonderful to see some of the shows we've celebrated here on Dork Adore come away with a golden mask this weekend. Let's look … [Read more...]

Being Human: Series 3, Episode 5 – Dork Review

Being Human: Series 3, Episode 5 – Dork Review

Over the past year there have been some excellent new comedy series on the BBC. First there was the gentle Rev, then Alan Davies' boisterous Whites, and more recently, Episodes. I'm just on iPlayer, flicking through them now. What's this programme at the top of the comedy listings, positioned just … [Read more...]

Being Human: Series 3, Episode 4 – Dork Review

Being Human: Series 3, Episode 4 – Dork Review

Barging in with the force and velocity of a season finale, Episode 4, The Pack, was one of the most exhilarating Being Human episodes to date, rapidly weaving several plot lines and characters together, before spinning unsentimentally towards a tense and bloody climax. An episode of this quality … [Read more...]

Being Human: Series 3, Episode 3 – Dork Review

Do you remember The Sixth Sense? I'll never forget the indignity I suffered at the final dénouement, as it transpired, shockingly, that Bruce Willis had spent the entire film with a gunshot wound the size of a teacup in his lower back. I had been too engrossed (or dim) to spot the silent treatment … [Read more...]

Being Human: Series 3, Episode 2 – Dork Review

Being Human: Series 3, Episode 2 – Dork Review

Viewers of last week's Being Human will be well aware that our four leads -- Mitchell the vampire, Annie the ghost and werewolf couple George and Nina -- were forced to leave Bristol after Mitchell issued a chilling complaint to South West Trains by savagely murdering a carriage-load of commuters on … [Read more...]

Chekhov Shorts and Peep Show: What We’ve Been Watching

Chekhov Shorts and Peep Show: What We’ve Been Watching

To misquote Helen off Big Brother, I like laughing I do, and thanks to the box in the corner, I did quite a lot of it last week. BBC One's Saturday night comedies Walk On The Wild Side and Armstrong and Miller continue to be consistently wonderful, but this week it was the return of Peep Show, now … [Read more...]

The IT Crowd review: Series 4 so far

The IT Crowd review: Series 4 so far

There isn’t a lot of ‘proper’ geek TV on at the moment, as our Editor bemoaned in a recent post. Many might take this as a sign to run for their DVD stacks, but there is one show which aims for the dork audience, but some forget because it’s a mere sitcom: The IT Crowd. The new batch is half over … [Read more...]
