Catherine The Great is a new four-part series from Sky about the titular lady who came to power in circumstances which didn’t exactly please everyone. Personally, I know nothing about this period of history, but Helen Mirren is always superb, and as for Jason Clarke (as Grigory Potemkin), well, let’s see if I can now […]

Years And Years is a new drama from Russell T Davies, whose work has had a chequered past with me, in that I really enjoyed some, but didn’t like others. This starts off as a seemingly normal family drama, to the point where I wondered if anything was going to happen at all. I knew […]
Zanzibar is the name of the hotel in which the first episode of Inside No.9 Series 4 is set, and it looks at the residents on the 9th floor. It’s a difficult episode to describe because most of it centred around everyone talking at cross purposes, with situations getting confused between them all, and the […]
Quacks is so-called because all of those featured a very dodgy doctors. And I *do* need a fix of doctors of some sort, since my favourite soap is off-air for the summer yet again!!! Leading the surgery at the beginning is Rory Kinnear as Robert, who wants to attempt to break the record for performing […]

Guerrilla is set in London, 1971, a time of racism and white people against black people, a time I’d like to think we’ve got far away from, although even today, the police are stuck in that horrendous stone age.

Spectre: Worst. Bond. Ever. Rest assured that I was on the internet within minutes registering my disgust throughout the world. If I had to sum Danel Craig‘s fourth outing as the super spy, it would be: Boring. I’m not joking, either. So much was made of the ridiculously overhyped Skyfall, with almost every film critic […]

And you thought the godawful Sam Smith-warbled theme tune would be […]

It features James Bond 007 himself, centred on the film’s dramatic opening scene which takes place in Mexico City during the hauntingly beautiful “Dia de los Muertes” celebrations – the “Day of the Dead” holiday. Bond […]
