I don’t know whether I’ve not watched much telly this week or I’ve just watched stuff that I don’t want to write about. Either way, welcome to the most half-hearted edition of Stuff I Watched to date.
In The Loop: DVD (Watched 16th Dec)
The film version of The Thick of It is very much like a [...]

This instalment of Stuff I Watched was an absolute ball-breaker to write. I don’t know why exactly. I also don’t quite know why I’m telling you.
Comedy Showcase: The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret: Channel 4 (Recorded 27th Nov Watched 27th Nov)
This was probably my most eagerly anticipated programme of the year. How could an Arrested [...]

The more observant amongst you will have noticed that, as well as only having written about two TV shows in a week, the post title covers the 14th and I watched the last programme on the 12th. This is intentional, as it is a symbolic end to a bad TV week. I keep asking myself [...]

It’s been a bit of a slow TV watching week, this week, and I’m struggling to keep up with my Sky planner. This post only covers programmes up to the 3rd, but that’s because I haven’t watched anything worth writing about in the last 4 days. I just thought I’d tell you that, in case [...]

Football Behind Bars: Sky One (Recorded 12th Oct Watched 15th Oct)
This was the final episode of a six-part, Sky One documentary series, presented by Ian Wright, about young offenders playing football. It was bound to be awful, wasn’t it? Well, you’d be forgiven for thinking so, but it was actually rather well done.
It followed Ian Wright’s [...]

Wallander: BBC4 (Recorded 7th Oct Watched 11th Oct)
After enjoying excellent French drama Spiral, on BBC4, I thought I’d give their latest foreign-language import, Wallander. This is the (presumably) original Swedish version of the detective series that starred Ken Branagh over here.
After watching the first episode of Spiral, I wondered how much my enjoyment was influenced by [...]

FlashForward: Channel 5 (Recorded 5th Oct Watched 8th Oct)
Episode 2 – This week’s episode had a bit of a poor start; some kids played an unconvincing game of ‘blackout’, one of the kids was unconvincingly bullied for not joining in, and then the parents of that kid unconvincingly dealt with the aftermath. Luckily, things picked [...]

I finished watching The Human Bird (Channel 4); I was frightened just as a viewer. It was a great piece of television, if you get chance to see it you should.
Finally got around to watching episode one of Spiral season 2 (BBC4), the French crime drama. With it being three years since [...]

In a recent post about watching the final episode of The West Wing, Gone West (Wing), I stated that I didn’t agree with many pundits opinion that it was the greatest TV show ever. In the comments section of the post I was asked what is the greatest show on the television, and despite the [...]
