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...]
Misfits: Series 2, Episode 2 – Dork Review
Now that Nathan has been excavated, the non-superhero non-team of Misfits get back to the important business of going clubbing and having accidents with their powers. Oh, and more of the mysterious masked man we’re apparently calling “Super Hoodie”. So did it hit the magical Misfits sweet spot of … [Read more...]
Sarah Jane Adventures: Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith – Dork Review
The end of the fourth series is here for The Sarah Jane Adventures, and with it comes extra drama, as two of the cast come a little closer than usual to death, and a couple of familiar faces make a welcome comeback. So did this finale feel important enough? Does it tie off the series with flair … [Read more...]
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...]
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...]
Merlin: Queen Of Hearts – Dork Review
After barely appearing last time, there’s a lot more Gwen in this week’s Merlin. Because, after two years of light teasing, this episode finally tackles her obvious attraction to that dashing Prince Arthur head-on. So, can love prosper across the class divide? Will Camelot society change, or once … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Guts – Dork Review
The second episode of The Walking Dead sees the show lumber onwards, barely missing a step. We rejoin our hero exactly where we left him, and soon a bunch of new survivors join in. Which is good, as although I like Andrew Lincoln, a whole series of him staring dejectedly would’ve got old. So, … [Read more...]
Misfits: Series 2, Episode 1 – Dork Review
After a busy year, in which they won a BAFTA and suchlike, E4’s Misfits is back! The Skins/Heroes hybrid turned out to be better than any of us expected, and has been rewarded accordingly. The new series, happily, picks up where the last one left off, with hardened smart-arse Nathan accidentally … [Read more...]
Sarah Jane Adventures: Lost In Time – Dork Review
This week’s Sarah Jane Adventures finds our heroes coming their closest yet to becoming miniature version of Doctor Who. They go time-travelling to not one but three separate time periods, looking for Magical Objects and meeting the locals. Which, you might think, is a lot to squash into two … [Read more...]
Coogan & Brydon, Wallace & Gromit and Armstrong & Miller: What We’ve Been Watching
This week, as the classic sketch goes, I have mostly been watching double acts. Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon have teamed up for the second time following on from the mostly excellent A Cock and Bull Story (dragged a bit, didn't it?); Wallace and Gromit are putting their window cleaning and humane … [Read more...]
