Review: Can't Read, Can't Write, Channel 4

1:37pm Tuesday 22nd July 2008

Tribal Wives, ITV1

12:10pm Thursday 26th June 2008

I WANT to be a tribal wife! Because after watching frazzled ‘slave-to-my-Blackberry’ single mum Karen Morris spend a month with the Waorani tribe of Ecuador on ITV’s Tribal Wives last night it seems better than a stint in the priory.

Doc Martin, ITV1

11:01am Wednesday 25th June 2008

I HAVE a question – who in the land of TV big wigs decided that there was a place in the TV listings for a slow-paced drama set in a sleepy Cornish village?

Reaper, Channel 4

12:33pm Wednesday 18th June 2008

CHANNEL Four may come in for some stick (mainly from me) but you have got to hand it to their programme buyers as they can pick a juicy morsel from the American market.

The Revenger's Tragedy @ Royal Exchange, Manchester

10:53pm Tuesday 17th June 2008

JUST in case you're in any doubt what to expect, the programme for the Revenger's Tragedy has a blood splattered look about it and depicts a sombre looking Stephen Tompkinson cuddling up to a skeleton.
