| Max factor | | 10:17am Thursday 8th May 2008 | | Midnight Man (ITV1, 9pm); Come Dine With Me (C4, 8pm)
LIKE policemen and private eyes
on television, fictional journalists
come complete with a set of
quirks, doubts and a troubled personal
life. Max Raban, anti-hero
of three-part thriller, Midnight
Man, ticks all the boxes as a maverick journalist. |
| Bear necessities | | 9:35am Tuesday 6th May 2008 | | Natural World: Spectacled Bears - Shadows
Of The Forest (BBC2, 8pm); Waking The Dead (BBC1, 9pm)
ANOTHER reputation bites the
dust. I thought Paddington Bear
was a nice furry little fellow who
liked marmalade. Apparently he's
a killer who attacks and eats cattle. |
| Water bored | | 10:25am Monday 5th May 2008 | | Flood (ITV1, 9pm); Shrink Rap (More 4, 10pm);
Am I Normal? (BBC2, 10pm)
MAY day, may day. Help, we're
fighting a losing battle against
something big and nasty heading
towards us that's threatening
to overwhelm us - a four-hour,
cut price British disaster movie. |
| How to read your mind | | 10:39am Friday 2nd May 2008 | | Derren Brown: Trick Or Treat (C4,
10pm); Sexcetera (Virgin 1, 11pm)
WHAT exactly is Derren Brown? |
| The In crowd | | 10:15am Thursday 1st May 2008 | | The Invisibles (BBC1, 9pm); The Inbetweeners (E4, 10pm)
MEN behaving badly or
teenagers behaving disgracefully. |
| Sore points | | 9:27am Tuesday 29th April 2008 | | Embarrassing Bodies (C4, 9pm)
FUNNY things happen when people get
in front of a TV camera. Having just
said how she's felt too embarrassed for
the past four years to visit the doctor about a
growth on her back passage, Pauline is
pulling down her trousers and her knickers
for us all to see. |
| Blue Monday | | 10:51am Monday 28th April 2008 | | Out Of The Blue (BBC1, 2.15pm)
DOES this latest import from Australia
have enough viewer appeal
to become the new Neighbours? |
| Brassed off | | 10:38am Friday 25th April 2008 | | Dirty Sexy Money (9pm, Channel Four) |
| Bad girls | | 11:17am Wednesday 23rd April 2008 | | Natural World, Naabi: A Hyena Princess (BBC2, 8pm); Child Genius (C4, 9pm)
LACKING the sultry style of the
lion, the raw speed of the cheetah
or the grace of the giraffe, the
hyena is perhaps one of the
African plains' most overlooked
animals. The block-jawed, hunchbacked
and mangy-coated beasts are a
charmless bunch who tend not to attract the
limelight of their more glamorous counterparts. |
| Blood brothers | | 9:25am Tuesday 22nd April 2008 | | Holby City (BBC1, 8pm); Blood, Sweat and T-Shirts (BBC3, 9pm)
WHAT on earth is the difference
between Holby City
and Casualty? People have
tried to explain this to me,
but I'm convinced that
they are exactly the same
thing. As a licence payer, I feel pretty short
changed. It's like asking for an apple and an
orange at my local fruit and veg shop and
being handed two Granny Smiths. |
