Review: Broadchurch, ITV1

2:13pm Friday 19th April 2013

COME on, admit it... Who’s counting down the minutes and seconds until 9pm on Monday when the severely frayed ends of ITV’s fantastic murder mystery drama Broadchurch will – hopefully – be drawn together?

Review: Checking out how the other half checks in

4:35pm Friday 7th December 2012

HOW the other half lives! There was a certain irony that in the week the Chancellor made his autumn statement, which saw the term ‘austerity’ flying around like confetti at a wedding, BBC2 should begin its compelling new fly-on-the wall documentary Inside Claridge’s.

Review: Last Tango in Halifax, BBC1

2:18pm Friday 30th November 2012

IF the number of comments in the office are a way of measuring the impact of a programme on the viewing public then it would seem that you can forget X Factor or I’m A Celebrity.

Review: Merlin, BBC1

4:11pm Friday 16th November 2012

Review: Inspector Montalbano, BBC4

2:31pm Friday 19th October 2012

ON paper the idea looks barmy — the BBC running a 10-year-old Italian detective series complete with subtitles in the slot formerly reserved for those highly successful, dark Scandinavian dramas like The Killing, The Bridge and Borgen.
