Commercial Break: The hateful Match.com 'accidental duet'

mofgimmers — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:59:10 GMT

Romance in commercials should be banned. Banned or shot at. Then bricked. The whatever is left should be burned. Shoot the embers for good measure. Y'see, 'love', budding or otherwise, is the trickiest thing to pin down. Musicians have been...

In defence of BBC Three

mofgimmers — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:27:15 GMT

I like picking on BBC Three. Granted, I like bullying ITV and Five more, but BBC Three is a nice easy target for someone like me (aka A sniping knucklehead). However, of late, I've started getting weary of BBC Three...

mofgimmers — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 14:18:47 GMT

What is The Man Who Ate Everything (BBC Four, Wednesday, 17 March, 9pm) about exactly? Well, judging from what television has been like over the past few years you could easily imagine that's it's some peering titter at some inordinately...

shinychris — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 12:55:11 GMT

It's Joe's funeral tonight, but do things go according to plan? And is he going to be given a dignified farewell? Of course not this is Coronation Street, so expect fireworks and recriminations as it all kicks off. Monday, March...

Project Runway: Baffling

mofgimmers — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 12:23:19 GMT

As this weekend was a bit of a sportsfest, and sporting events are almost impossible to cover on a TV site without turning into a review of the game, I figured I'd watch some dross. And so, I tuned in...

What To Watch This Weekend

mofgimmers — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 14:58:51 GMT

The working week is nearly over. That means you can walk around in your underpants eating bread from the bag and loudly slagging your boss off whilst cocking one leg up to fart at the telly. Unless, of course, you...

Skins to get two more series... but what about the cast?

mofgimmers — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 14:26:30 GMT

Have you finished going "What the f---?!" at the latest Skins episode yet? For those who haven't watched it yet, I won't spoil the surprise (although, that said, I fear various social networking sites have already done a million spoilers...

mofgimmers — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 13:54:12 GMT

If you don't like people ranting about private schools, then you'd better look away now as this review of Too Poor for Posh School (Channel 4, Thursday, 11 March, 9pm) will invariably contain wild, off-the-mark judgements about those who paid...

Set The Video: Richard Hammond's Invisible Worlds, BBC One, Tuesday, 16 March, 9pm

mofgimmers — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:57:25 GMT

Despite starring Richard Hammond, Richard Hammond's Invisible Worlds (BBC One, Tuesday, 16 March, 9pm) looks rather good. Of course, this won't be an exercise in Hammond watching invisible things and cooing about how good they feel... and it won't feature...

mofgimmers — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 13:05:36 GMT

Auntie wanted to take us all Inside John Lewis (BBC Two, Wednesday, 10 March, 9pm) last night. In fairness, I've never been in a John Lewis. No, it's not like being inside John Malkovich and steering him like a bald...

Trailer Trash: New Glee clips! Episode 11! All that stuff!

mofgimmers — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 13:53:02 GMT

Glee has pretty much taken over the world. For a miserable git like me, it's unfathomable. For you giddy sods, here's some clips from episode 11. What's happening in it? Sue Slyvester continues to sabotage Glee, Will is distracted by...

The tale of Gordon Brown and Match of the Day 2

mofgimmers — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 13:37:01 GMT

Gordon Brown. You know him don't you? Aye. Runs this plot of land we all moan on. Well, he's a footy nut. Yep, he's a big fan of Raith Rovers, which is nice to hear. If he was a ManUrinal...

Ian Wright slags off Melinda Messenger and Live From Studio Five

mofgimmers — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 13:04:55 GMT

I'm not against Ian Wright earning a wage. Everyone is entitled to some cash. However, I am against anything that pays Ian Wright to open his mouth, talk, think or/and offer an opinion. That's one of the (many, many) reasons...

mofgimmers — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:00:55 GMT

You know Gillian McKeith don't you? Skreeching, vapid, withered old idiot-bag that ferreted around in people's faecal matter before making them cry using tactics that would make Josef Fritzl blush? Yeah, that's her. The woman who would shout 'YOU'RE DISGUSTING...

Lambing Live: Kate Humble stares up a ewe

mofgimmers — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 20:50:10 GMT

Live television does strange things to people. If you're a presenter, it guarantees a certain urgency in your voice. While this immediacy is no doubt borne of nerves and the adreneline of live presenting, it does tend to imply a...

Set The Video: Too Poor for Posh School, Channel 4, Thursday, 11 March, 9pm

mofgimmers — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 20:33:46 GMT

Private schools - Idiot factories aren't they? I say this, partly, because I'm jealous of the swine that attended them. I bet they had really cool teachers and learned all manner of interesting stuff whilst I was idly sticking maggots...
