Curfew is a new drama which felt from the trailer like it was being a remake of Death Race 2000, and it feels like so many people are driving trucks like Mick Jagger did in Freejack, which should put this drama’s timeline in 2009… but I doubt it is. It’s also aiming for a Blade […]

Baptiste marks the return of French detective Julien Baptiste (Tchéky Karyo), who you’ll remember from The Missing, but after two series of that, they wanted to make a third (and it’s still on the cards), but it would be set in London, and how can you bring the man back across the water when he’s […]

Traitors is a new World War II drama which looked stylish from the trailers, and I thought was going for an Allied-style approach, as that’s a modern WW2 movie, but is it as entertaining in its own right? Well, it’s sort-of WW2, since it’s 1945 and the war is coming to a close. You’d think […]

The Stand Up Sketch Show looked like a box-ticking exercise from the trailer – he’s got a beard, she’s got a silly name (London?) But how will it work in reality?

Danny Dyer’s Right Royal Family shows that if you going to make a documentary, these days, it HAS to have the name of the presenter included, as if viewers are so thick that they not only must be led to water, but also forced to drink it. Danny Dyer has never struck me as someone […]

Brexit: The Uncivil War centres around one man I hadn’t thought too much about – Dominic Cummings (Benedict Cumberbatch – yep, there’s a double-dose of Cum this time!), campaign director for Vote Leave, one of the campaigns to leave the European Union.

Cleaning Up sees ITV kicking off the new drama year with the reliable Sheridan Smith as Sam, a single parter with a grumpy ex.

The Greatest Dancer is best known for being a Chic song, masterminded by the great Nile Rodgers… okay, it’s “He’s the Greatest Dancer”, but anyway. We’re told this is an audition and a studio like no other… so, not like So You Think You Can Dance… oh, but the entire audience are behind the mirror, […]
Luther Season 5‘s arrival means the man with the grey trench coat is back. Women will love this, since it’s only a handful of minutes before Idris Elba is taking his shirt off in the bathroom.
