Yesterday brought the news that BBC Two have given The Fall a third series. Obviously we reported the news, but it was through gritted teeth. Do we honestly need a third series of this, or more likely is it the BBC's attempt to capitalize on the popularity of...
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!
Despite all the criticisms ITV have commissioned a third series of Broadchurch. Little is known about the third series but David Tennant and Olivia Colman have signed on to reprise their roles as Hardy and Miller.
When Broadchurch first returned I bemoaned it's complete unnecessary-ness. Now, we're two episode from its conclusion and I've never felt so disconnected with a piece of drama as I have with this. It just all feels half arsed, and pointless. If Chibnall wants his...
Gary goes on strike but we discuss The Good Wife, Broadchurch and whether Fortitude lived up to its hype!
In our latest podcast we praise Channel 4's Cyberbully and Last Tango in Halifax. Wonder why Get Your Act Together even happened and grow tiered of Broadchurch.
In this week's podcast we shower praise on Last Tango in Halifax, wonder what's happened to Broadchurch and struggle with Crims.
There was little to no press before this series of Broadchurch. The one thing writer Chris Chibnall did tease was that it viewers could expect 'a very different kind of story.' He wasn't wrong, because where Broadchurch was once a reliable, tension packed drama full...
In the first podcast of 2015, we discuss Christmas viewing habits, the returns of The Hotel and The Undateables and have the first argument of the new year as Broadchurch ruffles some feathers.
So earlier in the week I wrote a really rather scathing review about the highly anticipated return of ITV's Broadchurch. I wasn't alone in my disappointment as people complained about the lack of action, poor sound quality and over the top dramatic music presumably...
The Guardian have revealed the overnight ratings for ITV's Broadchurch. So secret was this first episode of series 2 that no one from the press, cast or anyone on the moon were able given details of the full plot. As it turned out the plot saw the Latimer attend...
I'll admit that I've found the return of Broadchurch frustrating. As soon as that title card ran at the end of series one, informing us 'Broadchurch will return' I've felt a little short changed. I've got over the fact we're getting a second now but I still have my...
As the second draws closer, ITV are slowly releasing more to coincide with the anticipated of Broadchurch. We know David Tennant and Olivia Colman will return as DI Alec Hardy and DS Ellie Miller but the channel is keeping plot details a closely guarded secret. ...
After airing two teaser trailers last week, ITV gave us more information about the second series of Broadchurch by airing a third teaser last night. In the clip; Ellie Miller (Olivia Colman) discusses what happened in the first series and how it changed her family's...

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...
Series two Did we like it? After a first series that oscillated between piquant grizzled sci-fi banquets and wading knee-deep through the slurried sewers of rancid drama, we’re not going to laud this with any definitive sense of joy, but this opener was very, very...
Did we like it? Edmund Coulthard’s film is worthy of a nomination when Bafta picks its best single dramas of the year. What was good about it? • The plot. Man gets pushed off a balcony during a party. His deaf flat-mate is the prime suspect. Deaf flat-mate and the...
