The Apprentice: season 14, episode 4 recap: "Crotch Socks"

TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 25th October 2018

I don't go to the gym. In a sense the street is my gym, but in another, more real sense, it's a street, down which I walk, not going into gyms, and eating Greggs ham and cheese pasties.

The Apprentice: season 14, episode 3 recap: "Your Donuts Make Me Go Nuts"

TV Feature | Becky Suter | 20th October 2018

This week, a tricky technical leaves one contestant in tears when our amateur bakers are asked to create 2000 show-stopping doughnuts, despite the fact that their backgrounds range from digital marketing to tree surgery and absolutely nothing to do with running a pop-up bakery. As the heat rises, who will be Star Baker, who will leave the tent, and whoâ€™s got a soggy bottom? Itâ€™s The Great British Bake O-h hang on.

The Apprentice: season 14, episode 2 recap: "Bad Boys, Ink"

TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 14th October 2018

I noticed the other day that A Question of Sport is still on TV. Literally still being broadcast on televisions. So as much as I would've been delighted if The Apprentice had been cancelled this year, I suppose it's understandable it's further down the list.

The Apprentice: season 14, episode 1 recap: "Can You Do It Squid Pro Quo?"

TV Feature | Becky Suter | 4th October 2018

Theresa May was right - the British people need to know an end is in sight. 14 years of this and not even Alan's Twitter can bring down the behemoth that is The Apprentice. I'd take Lord Sugar's Racist World Cup over the next 12 weeks of more corporate cum dumpsters trying to flog pork sandwiches to a vegan cafe before being sent home in a black cab (Note: this is a lie).

The solid gold twats of The Apprentice 2018, in their own words

TV Feature | Becky Suter | 26th September 2018

It's not business, it's war - or, more specifically, it's a bunch of bum-licking bellends in suits making bad analogies. Lord Alan Sugar is back to bark at more briefcase wankers, and I'm back to pass judgement because I've got nothing else better to do. Let's meet the contestants of the 2018 series of The Apprentice and hear from them in their own words!

Predict the finale and play along with Bodyguard Bingo!

TV Feature | Ali Gray | 19th September 2018

The BBC's new thriller Bodyguard has been one of the most popular new British television series in over a decade, thanks to the slick writing of creator Jed Mercurio and the slinky appeal of Keeley Hawes' foxy Home Sexretary (Secretary). Between episodes, fans have been ravenous for new information, sharing plot spoilers and conspiracy theories online in an attempt fill the gaping hole left in their lives. Friends, fans and Richard Madden stans: let me fill your holes.

So we've all just accepted that his actual name is 'Jed Mercurio', have we?

TV Feature | Ali Gray | 31st August 2018

I'm sure that you, like me, have been enjoying new BBC drama Bodyguard, starring a shooty-shooty man and a woman and some terrorists. Congratulations on your correct decision, because it is totally brilliant. I can't help but notice, however, that we are all apparently totally on-board with the creator's name: Jed Mercurio. That's right, is it? Jed Mercurio. First name Jed, last name Mercurio. Right. We're all fine with that. Just checking.

What would happen to BeyoncÃ© if she were in The Handmaidâ€™s Tale?

TV Feature | Becky Suter | 2nd August 2018

It's not a comedy, but the secret to The Handmaid's Tale is its timing: it's 2018, 100 years since the Suffragettes fought for the right to vote, and yet there's a pussy-grabbing prick of a president and we're still discussing women's basic reproductive rights. Part of The Handmaid's Tale's uncomfortable appeal is that it feels too close to own our reality. Which is why one night, as I watched Offred/June having a thoroughly miserable time of it, I wondered: what would become of me if Gilead actually happened? What about YouTubers or other celebs? Or â€“ gasp - Queen of the Beyhive, BeyoncÃ©? What about Bey? (For me personally - single, probably barren â€“ most likely a Martha).
