Royal Pains is a US medical comedy drama series that currently airs on Channel 7 in Australia late on Sunday and Monday nights. It’s a pity it is tucked away in this spot as I find it very entertaining and it may be missing a much wider audience. The background story to the series is [...]

The 2010 version of Upstairs Downstairs recently aired on Australian television. This is of course an update of the classic series from the 1970’s that ran for 5 years. The links to the original series are that the new episodes take place in the same house, 165 Eaton Place and the new owners Sir Hallam [...]

Skins Season 5 Episode 2 – Rich This was a really good episode of Skins, it had a bit of everything, humour, a good story, half hearted romance and great acting from the kids. Where do they keep finding the talent for this series? Skins Season 5, so far, seems to be a lot less [...]

Crownies ABC1 Thursdays, ABC2 Fridays The ABC‘s new drama series Crownies is causing quite a stir. It is a series about the Crown Prosecution Service and focuses mainly on five young ridiculously attractive solicitors. Most of the stir on the ABC boards is due to the amount of focus on sex.

But I must admit that [...]

I caught the first episode of Skins USA this week on pay TV. As expected it didn’t really stand up against the British version, but I suppose there could be a few reasons for that. I am from the UK, so I probably relate more to the British version, maybe Americans will relate to the [...]

Dr Who returned to Australian TV at the weekend. He was accompanied by the lovely Amy Pond (Karen Gillan), her husband Rory (Arthur Darvill) and the blond and mysterious River Song (Alex Kingston) The first episode of the new series, Impossible Astronaut, saw everyone get an invite to the Utah desert from the Doctor, including [...]

Episode 4 of series 3 The Pack was a much darker Being Human episode than those seen recently. I can not really remember any humour at all in this one. Mitchell continues to come across as a nasty character, underneath the dark and moody exterior. He and Annie try to take their relationship to the [...]

Being Human – Series 3 Episode 3 Just a quick update on last weeks episode of Being Human, Type 4. After having new Werewolves show up in episode 1 and a new Vampire in episode 2 what could we have in episode 3 but a new Ghost? Well not quite. This Ghost had a body, [...]
