Welcome to The Pitt, the nickname for the Emergency Department at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Centre. If, like me, you're immersed in a world of TV, you'll already know a lot about it and be frustrated that we've had to wait nearly eighteen months for it to arrive in...
Apple TV+ revealed the premiere date for “Berlin ER” (formerly known as “KRANK Berlin”), the upcoming edgy German-language medical drama co-created by former emergency room physician-turned-screenwriter Samuel Jefferson together with Viktor Jakovleski. The dynamic...
It's that time of year again, here's our look at the best shows of 2015! Last Tango in Halifax (December 2014 - February 2015, BBC1) A fixture on our best of the year list since it began in 2012, Last Tango in Halifax proved once again to be one of the best dramas on...
We discuss the return of Prey, the end of Nurse Jackie and the gibberish from The Apprentice.
Hi folks and welcome back to Matt on the Box where I look back on some of the most recent highlights that TV has offered up to us. We start with BBC One's latest attempt to claim back Sunday nights with their newest adaptation of Winston Graham's Poldark. Stepping...
We discuss BBC1's new series of Poldark. Israeli drama Hostages, new comedy Nurse and have some shocking news for Gary.
The jokes have been made already (‘Goodness, this is a long Aviva car insurance advert’) and the comparisons to Ricky Gervais’ Derek have been posted well in advance. And it’s true that Paul Whitehouse’s bittersweet new sitcom for BBC2, about a hard-pressed Community...
Welcome back to another look back at the week in TV and as always we have quite an eclectic bunch of shows so let's get started. We're kicking off with a new drama from Sky One which, just like their other productions, doesn't scrimp on the budget. I was quite excited...
In the latest podcast we discuss Sky's glossy new medical drama Critical, find out why Gary is enjoying The Casual Vacancy and Matt hates painting!
Warning: Sky1’s brand new medical drama Critical, from the pen of Jed ‘Line of Duty ’Mercurio, is not for the faint of heart. However, if you can get over the open heart surgery, the lashings of blood and the scalpel’s eye view of a man having his chest...
Channel 4 has commissioned 30 new episodes of the RTS award-winning documentary series 24 Hours in A&E which will be filmed at a new location, St George’s Hospital in Tooting, south west London. The 30 x 60 minute programmes have been commissioned from The Garden...
Welcome to another look back to some TV highlights from the last week or so. When In the Flesh first started last year I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Having never been a particularly big fan of the horror genre I sat down to watch Dominic Mitchell's...
Channel 4 What a breath of fresh air One Born Every Minute is! The show returned last Monday for its fifth series and it is still as popular as ever in my household. I only started watching the show in the middle of the last series and was struck by how...
The cover version of BBC2’s Getting On is an entertaining (and even moving) thirty minutes of television filtered through American lenses. Comedic actresses Alex Borstein and Niecy Nash co-star as Head Ward Nurse Dawn Forchette and Nurse Denise Ortley...
Welcome once again folks to another look back at the best and worst of what the TV week had to offer. We're starting off by going on the road with BBC's newest drama Truckers. Truckers is created by William Ivory, who nearly twenty years ago devised the TV series...
When ITV first announced new six-part drama Breathless, people (myself included I'm ashamed to say) were quick to comment and say ITV were cashing in on the huge success of BBC1's Call the Midwife. I suppose the comparison is fair with them both focusing on the early...
Back in July I was invited to the set of ITV's newest period drama Breathless. The series, set in 1961 follows the lives of a group of doctors and nurses working in a London hospital, a world in which everything and everyone has their place. But underneath the...
In this special late night instalment of TheCustardTV the gang discuss Case Histories, Frankie and The Eurovision Song Contest, plus Luke talks about attending the screening of Mad Dogs Series 3.
Frankie is the female lead in a brand new BBC1 medical drama. Something sets her apart from the women we've been used to seeing over the last few months. Most female characters on our screens of late haven't had the easiest of lives. They seem to have been either...
Welcome back to another look back at the seven days in TV and, unlike last week, there hasn't been a lot on. First up this week we have the return of Channel 4's superior documentary series 24 Hours in A&E. The programme is one of many fly-on-the-wall shows in...
ITV has announced the new commissioning of new medical drama, Breathless, a stylish and compelling six-part series set in London in 1961, starring JACK DAVENPORT (Smash, Pirates of the Caribbean). Produced for ITV by ITV Studios, the drama follows the lives...
We're back and this week we discussed the BBC Sitcom Me and Mrs. Jones, ITV's DCI Banks and high praise for Monroe and Moone Boy.

ITV’s Monroe was one of my favourite drama series of 2011. The cast were all superb, the storylines emotional and engaging and let’s just face it, James Nesbitt can do no wrong. The series, which revolved round the life and work of Neurosurgeon Monroe was bound...
