I watched ten minutes of the first episode before turning it off in disbelief that someone had actually allowed something like that onto the television. I quite like him on Buzzcocks, but I really don't get his 'comedy' programmes.

Was much the same reaction when Boosh first started, it is, to put it politely, an acquired taste.

Lots of good stuff back on telly now.

Spartacus just started
True blood starts Sunday
Being Human starts sunday
an interesting Zombie thing started on MTV as well might have some promise.

Thoroughly enjoyed Being Human last night. Despite the break between series it's storming ahead at some pace. Some great action and emotion last night, and the Mrs was even in tears at the end!

The plot has taken a massive twist, leaving some great questions for the series ahead. The new characters are interesting though I'm not sure how well they've cast the parts, some of the acting was a little wooden. Mitchell, George and Annie were brilliantly cast and the chemistry was there for all to see, I suppose it'll be hard for any new faces to follow that.

Good stuff, reckon I'll enjoy this season, and I generally don't bother with TV series that much.

SPOILERS:
Thought the deaths of George and Nina were a brave step (although it seems actually the actors wanted to move onto new projects). Plenty of outcry from fans but probably time to move things on...

Watched the first episode of the new series of True Blood last night. It was weird.

Oh dear. Just had a slip of the finger and ended up on BB2....Usually in a mad panic I'd bang any button on the remote to get the fook rid of him but I was slightly transfixed by his studio audience.... They are one rung below the t0ssers you usually see applauding in the stands at Wimbledon....Nice!

Just watched the first 2 episodes of The River, strange to say the least.

Good to see Anne Leslie appeared to be "tired & emotional", yet again on Last Night's QT. It's high time the BBC started breathalising panelists before allowing them on air. It was a masterstroke sitting her next to Alastair Campbell though, great entertainment. Described as a "veteran foreign correspondent", she looks like she cut her teeth reporting from the Holy Land during the first Crusade

I saw the old Mail dog. She has some self-inflated ego. Started off nearly every topic with, 'I know a great deal about this', whether the debate was about Syria or fooking football...This Week was quite interesting afterwards. An interesting debate about the civil liberties of 'Abu the hook' (can't be assed to look up the spelling of his surname) between Shami Chakrabarti and Allan Johnston (postman). I wonder if he used to post a lot of wrong mail in wrong letterboxes?

Just seen that one of the specialist subjects on tonight's Mastermind is 'Eastenders'. This can't be allowed, can it?
