TV Feature | Ali Gray | 8th November 2011

TV writer Grace Dent has already expressed her discontent at bizarre, pseudo-futuristic ITV gameshow The Cube getting another series, and we can't help but agree. If any of the producers are reading, which obviously you are, then here are some tips to make it more exciting.

LittleBigPicture: movies you didn't know had TV spin-offs

TV Feature | Kirsty | 22nd April 2010

In lieu of an actual TV article this week, we're being overly critical about spin-off TV shows from some pretty classic movies. No Buffy, M*A*S*H or Clueless here, oh no... These are the ones that tried, but failed to make it on the small screen. The little spin-offs that couldn't.

Catfish: season 5, episode 4 recap: "Brandon and McKenna"

TV Feature | Becky Suter | 4th April 2016

I could start a dating advice blog based on how many episodes of Catfish I've endured. Throughout my need to better understand 21st century dating, I came across the term "ghosting", which refers to the act where one person in a relationship suddenly ends all communication, rather than simply admitting they're not interested in the other person any more. An example of this would be a co-host of a long-running reality series suddenly disappearing four episodes into a new season without explanation. Are you reading this, Max? I have one question: how dare you.

We respectfully invite the girls of House to put 'em on the glass

TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 3rd August 2011

With new girl Odette Annable signing up for a major role in House season eight, I thought to myself: "Gold dust! She has a silly name! My razor-sharp wit will make short work of this!" and hit the laptop, only to run out of steam after about a minute. OK, so one daft name's not enough for a whole feature, but throw in some chicks in their pants ... CHA-CHING!

True Bromance

TV Feature | Kirsty Harrison, Ed Williamson | 19th August 2011

'Bromances'. Not content with being merely a blight on our otherwise pulchritudinous language, the bromance has infiltrated our consciousness to the point that any admiration one chap has for another, no matter how professional or academic, is now boiled down to an Americanised hug and bubbles love affair. Without touching. Here's about eight or nine of the best on TV.

Apropos of nothing, let's revisit Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog: Commentary! - The Musical

TV Feature | Matt Looker | 12th June 2019

Now that films like La La Land and The Greatest Showman are being celebrated for inventing the musical, itâ€™s time to reappraise the best thing to ever come singing out of the Whedonverse. No, not Once More With Feeling. And no, not Dr Horribleâ€™s Sing-Along Blog. Iâ€™m obviously talking about Dr Horribleâ€™s Sing-Along Blog: Commentary! â€“ The Musical. But you knew that already. It's in the title. Come with me on a terribly niche journey...

The five worst things about Dexter

TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 24th September 2013

My relationship with Dexter is much like that of the protagonist with his girlfriend in the Smokey Robinson song "You've Really Got a Hold on Me". She mistreats him constantly, but he keeps coming back for more without really knowing why. I watch Dexter every week, cringing at various aspects of the writing, then look forward to the next episode. I'm an idiot.

TV Feature | Becky Suter | 15th March 2016

Nev and Max are back! That's Nev and Max: not Nev and some random from YouTube; not Nev and a "musician hip-hop rapper artist", Nev and MAX. Just like God intended.

Six pictures in which Ant and Dec are obviously on drugs

TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 25th February 2013

Following the shock revelation in a Guardian interview that two rich, famous TV presenters who attend celebrity parties on a semi-regular basis have at some point in their lives taken drugs, we uncover the damning photographic evidence that confirms ... well, the same thing they said, really.
