Did we like it? It was a long hour to be honest. The constant clicking as creator Candace 'Sex and the City' Bushnell ticked all her usual boxes with the monotony of a metronome made the time drag, but first episodes (this was also more than likely a pilot) are...
Did we like it? While it resembles in some aspects a counterfeit Eastern European copy of the gleaming BBC original, it retains the most important elements of a mildly engaging obstacle course, semi-celebrities trying not to be sucked into the quicksand of oblivion...

Did we like it? The eponymous gap-toothed bitch helps a couple of individuals too gutless to finish with their partners to end their relationships in unique and ‘fun’ ways. To get us to root for the dumpers, Shannen and her team made sure that the victims were the...
What did the viewing public make of this vigil hosted by Paul Ross and Yvette Fielding from the castle once inhabited by the notorious Vlad the Impersonator? Joshua Ethanol from Oxford: “I was spooked when Yvette started talking in English to a Romanian ghost – and he...

Will & Grace Finalé, Living TV, Did we like it? It went out with a sentimental whimper rather than a bang, but the two-part finalé did have its moments and left us feeling a tiny bit sad. What was good about it? • The highlight was Grace's dream sequence featuring...
Did we like it? Didn’t reach ‘first series of Murder One’ standards, but like all American legal dramas, this creation by Jerry 'CSI' Bruckheimer was perfectly watchable fare. What was good about it? • Annabeth Chase (played by Jennifer Finnigan) is a very attractive...
Did we like it? It wasn't the most riveting hour of our lives if we're honest, but if you're into dance you'll enjoy this. What was good about it? David Stern, who wanted his stage name to be 'Sex'. He looked like Dennis Pennis and Cher's lovechild. He was a poor...

What to say if you like it Hospital drama that's as slick as a blood spillage on the operating theatre floor What to say if you dislike it Grey's Anatomy may be a snappy(ish) title but focusing on Meredith Grey is a mistake as she's the least interesting character...
What to say if you liked it There's nothing we love more than a reality documentary series exposing deluded wannabes and focusing on shattered dreams… What to say if you disliked it …but not if it's at the expense of innocent kids whose parents who are scarily...

What were the 10 worst things? 1 Mr Hull didn't even make the final 10 and he was our favourite. There was some consolation that the winner was our second favourite, stereotype-busting plasterer Mark from Walsall. 2 It was probably the shoddiest show we've seen all...
