I was expecting great things from this new US sitcom on Sky1, particularly given that it’s from the stable that produced long running and genuinely funny horse Frasier, and while I wasn’t terribly disappointed, I wasn’t terribly amused either.
It’s filmed documentary/mockumentary style – as per The Office – and it worked on many levels, as did the chemistry between the cast, but if I was pressed to summarise the show in one word, that word would be ‘mediocre’.
It was however good to see Ed O’Neill again who I did used to laugh out loud to when he was in Married With Children, and he still had some good comedic lines, but none that were uproarious. Read more & comment »

Fringe returns to our screen for season two next week and to whet your tastebuds a little, here is a quick promo for the season premiere.
Enjoy.
After an amazing season five finale, House season six premieres on Sky 1 this Sunday night. The last time we saw Dr Gregory House, he was being admitted to a psychiatric unit, after suffering from hallucinations regarding himself and Cuddy.
Fringe will return to our screens for season two on October 4th. In the clip above, some of the cast talk about the grossest moments on the show to date.
I always find it hard to watch the first scene of the show, it always draws you in but it is usually disgusting!
Arriving on Sky1 earlier this year, HOUSE has cemented itself as a firm favourite with the channel’s viewers. Packed full of sarcastic witticisms from the eponymous grouchy yet genius medic, season five saw Dr Gregory House (Laurie) continue to unravel the most unusual of medical complaints (ruling out lupus each time); but a turning point came when team member Lawrence Kutner (Kal Penn) took his own life. As House struggled with his feelings about the suicide, his addiction to pain medication began to spiral out of control. Soon he was hallucinating about conversations with the deceased Amber (Anne Dudek) and as the series built to its finale a drug induced episode led House to hallucinate he had a passionate sexual encounter with love interest and sparring partner Dr Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein). As the season concluded, Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) took House to a psychiatric institution.
Bones, the darkly amusing hit crime drama starring David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel returns to Sky 1 with a special season five premiere episode guest starring US pop icon Cyndi Lauper, on Thursday 8th October at 9pm.
Created by Hart Hanson and inspired by real-life forensic anthropologist and best-selling novelist Kathy Reichs, BONES follows forensic anthropologist Dr Temperance Brennan (Deschanel) and FBI Agent Seeley Booth’s (Boreanaz) work at the Jeffersonian institute solving crimes when the bodies are so badly decomposed, burned or destroyed that only the victim’s bones can provide clues to their fate.
Fringe is due to return to our screens for season two this autumn and Fox have released this fab little teaser clip to build anticipation.
We have some spoilers for the upcoming new season already. Luke Goss (one half of 80’s pop duo Bros) will guest star in it, as will the lovely Meghan Markle.
Poor old Cilla Black must be feeling past her prime. In the day, her dating show Blind Date was one of TV’s most popular shows but now it seems she can’ even get past her first episode.
Cilla was supposed to be fronting Loveland for Sky One, but the whole series has been cancelled after a test audience hated the first episode.
A source told The Sun: “People just did not like the show in the focus groups. They kept asking why we didn’t just bring back Blind Date.
Sky1 has announced the commission for ANGELA AND FRIENDS.
ANGELA AND FRIENDS is a slick, studio-based, format where Angela Griffin and three co-presenters get to grips with the latest showbiz stories, lifestyle trends, viewer comments, features and special guests with lots of revealing, smart chat. The show, in full HD, will feature a daily lifestyle club looking at books, films, health and beauty and fashion.
I’d expected this documentary on Sky1 to be depressing, and in many ways, it was, but at the same time, there was something uplifting about it, and I suspect that came about because of filmmaker Chloe Ruthven’s obvious fondness for the subjects of her film, Mario and Nini.
Ruthven first met the boys in 2003 when she was working in a London primary school. Her job was to offer extra tuition to the kids who were falling behind in class, and in order to liven it up, she brought in a camera one day and the rest became the history of the boys’ childhoods.
And it was a regrettably familiar history; poverty, a failing education system and a society entrenched in gang culture meant that as the boys grew, they reflected back what their particular society had taught them. Most notably, this was that violence is commonplace and cool, and that crime pays, if you don’t mind the odd stint in the nick that is. Read more & comment »
Public concern regarding issues such as anti-social behaviour, gang culture and knife crime continues to grow, and with over 70% of offenders aged 18-20 years old re-offending within a two year period post release. In FOOTBALL BEHIND BARS, starting Monday 7th September at 10pm on Sky1, former professional footballer and young offender Ian Wright is on a personal mission to try and break this cycle.
