Bodyguard begins with Afghanistan war veteran cop David Budd (Richard Madden) tries to play “spot the terrorist” on a train, and he quickly makes himself the ‘Liam Neeson’ of the piece. Before getting into more detail about the episode, the potential baddie had locked himself in a toilet, so surely the thing to do 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 […]

New to the area, Nat (Eva Birthistle) and Gabe (Adeel Akhtar) have been invited to one, but the latter, particularly, doesn’t want to go to […]
