TV Reviews

Phineas and Ferb

CBBC out-satired by Disney? Oh brother...

Jane Graham takes aim at CBBC's lack of edge, compared to Nickelodeon's "brilliantly stoopid characters"

The Review Show

Sam Delaney takes on the 'Four Liberal Columnists of the Apocalypse'

"What a brilliant service The Review Show offers to its loyal viewers - by which I mean the panellists themselves"

The Mimic

The Mimic makes a good impression on Jane Graham…

"This affecting micro-drama has hit upon some touching truths on its way to exploring what is “real” and what is artifice"

Sam Delaney: We've all been 'Made in Grantham'

"Any audio used in this programme was a complete waste of budget. Thatcher was the most televisual political leader of all time"

Neverwhere

Now you're on my wavelength!

Jane Graham says giving TV a rest would lead you to discover overlooked classics on the wireless like Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere

Parks and Recreation

Jane Graham finds 'almost perfect TV' in Parks and Recreation

"Amy Poehler plays the heroine of Parks and Recreation, one of American TV's most irresistible creations"

BBC Parliament

Sam Delaney: I want to watch Commons people

"The BBC Parliament channel presents politics as it actually is: ugly bastards shouting, waving bits of paper and occasionally nodding off"

Jane Graham: It's a question of whodunnit

"Broadchurch began differently - and it thought and behaved differently all the way through"

Noel Edmonds: A work of art

"With the mind of Darth Vader and the heart of Lady Di..." Sam Delaney implores you to switch back over to Deal Or No Deal

Martin Sheen

Jane Graham: Putting a Sheen on real-life drama

"The history in Martin Sheen’s background was worth a Hollywood movie, but best of all was the warmth and intelligence of the man himself"
