Eight assumptions I'm making about 24: Live Another Day

TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 24th April 2014

I never quite managed to get along with 24. After three episodes of the first season I was just about done. Then I tried them again about a week ago. Same result: booooooring.

Parliament of House: part one

TV Feature | Ed Williamson, Matt Looker | 23rd May 2012

House: it's been around for eight years, and while no one ever speaks about it in the same terms as the 'worthier' US output, there are at least two of us who would rank it among our favourite shows of all time.
