Good Omens poses the opener that you might’ve thought that the universe began 14 billion years ago, and the Earth, 4.6bn years ago, but this series confirms that it all began on Sunday 21st October 4004 BC, at 9am… Sounds plausible. Whatever you believe, God is a woman – voiced by Frances McDormand, and Earth […]

Mother’s Day relives the harrowing day on Saturday, March 20th 1993, the day before Mother’s Day, and the day the IRA bombed Warrington, claiming the lives of young 12-year-old Tim Parry and 3-year-old Johnathan Ball. The bombs didn’t go off at the same time, but as everyone was running away from the first, some would […]
Motherland is a sitcom pilot centred around middle-class motherhood. Personally, I’ve never sired a child and don’t intend to, so I won’t experience fatherhood, let alone motherhood, and I consider myself working class and not middle class. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a fair bit to enjoy here, and that’s largely down to the […]

Reg Keys is a name I hadn’t heard before, but I was fully aware that we were taken to war in Iraq on a lie. Portrayed by Tim Roth, his son, Tom (Zac Fox), was one of six young men killed in action, Tom having died just four days before his 21st birthday and, as […]

Brian Pern is the prog-rock brainchild of Rhys Thomas OBE and The Fast Show‘s Simon Day, and this boxset takes in all three series – The Life of Rock, A Life in Rock and 45 Years of Prog and Roll – each of which comprised of just three episodes… not enough, but then I’d rather […]

Midwinter of the Spirit did something that I don’t think I’ve ever seen in any other TV drama ever made – they finally gave a leading role to the brilliant Anna Maxwell Martin! The supernatural tone was set early on, beginning with a man being chased through forest to be sacrificed, while a priest babbles […]

Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa is like a gift that keeps on giving. I was very sceptical that if an Alan Partridge movie was made – after all this time the character has been around – it would never live up to the his TV appearances, particularly the first series of I’m Alan Partridge (as I […]
