When it came time to compile our Best of the Year piece two things struck me. The first was that wasn't one BIG show that resonated with people in the same way Normal People and I May Destroy You did in 2020 or It's a Sin and Mare of Easttown last year. The second was...
This year the BBC turns 100. Fundamental to Britain and funded by licence fee payers, the BBC has garnered a worldwide reputation for quality. For this special post highlighting the highlights of the corporation's massive contribution to television, I've decided to...
After a draining and heartbreaking finale, with actor James Nesbitt acting his socks off BBC One's 8-part drama The Missing reached its conclusion tonight. However, in a twist last seen at the ending of ITV's Broadchurch the BBC waited until after to reveal the...
Luke, Gary & Matt look at whether TV is playing it too safe. Review Our Girl, Scott & Bailey and The Driver and Gary pays tribute to a departing member of 'The Voice.'
There is a deep sense, after viewing 'The Driver' that the story is one we have seen before. That is not to say it isn't an enjoyable watch, just a familiar one. While that familiarity certainly doesn't breed contempt in this case, it does leave you with a vague urge...

It would be easy to label BBC1's new 2-parterThe 7.39 as a "romantic comedy", but I think to do such a thing does a disservice to the performances of our leads and the fantastically witty, warm and realistic script from David Nicholls. The premise of two people...
BBC1’s airing their first ever improvised drama. David Tennant’s starring in the first episode. Well, you had me at ‘improvised drama’, but with David Tennant leading the way, what could possibly go wrong? Sadly, several things. Perhaps the first downfall was the...
In 2007 the ending of the BBC’s new crime drama Five Days really disappointed. The story centered around the mysterious disappearance of a woman who bought a bunch of flowers from a roadside flower seller In a scene that wouldn’t have appeared out of place in an...
Did we like it? Channel 4's tenuous grip on credibility receives a shot in the arm with this amazing, serious drama set in the 1970s – a bit like Life on Mars with many more layers of depth but without any of the laughs, not even a hint of a smile. It's not a flawless...
