It has been my misfortune several times in the past to be floated on a river of dreams and sucked into the maelstrom of hyperbole where new series are concerned. Indeed I have even written on these very pages that the more a show is "bummed up" (as my old Nan used to say) the worse it is likely to be. But with an all-star cast in front of the camera and Matthew Graham and Ashley Pharaoh behind it...

"Last week, we tripped over the Holy Grail, and next week, we're going after Atlantis," snapped the feisty Professor Magwilde, fending off the media frenzy that had just descended on her inner-city archeological site. The tone was mocking, naturally. She was trying to damp down speculation that the team had found something exciting, which apparently leaked into the public domain after a nurse at the...

First shown: BBC Two 9.00pm Thursday 23rd November 2000. RT 48:52. Amazing new discoveries in South America are revolutionising what we thought we knew about the dinosaur world. It now seems that South America was home to both the largest meat-eater - so new it's still without a name - and the largest herbivore - the enormous long-necked Argentinasaurus. And what's more, these dinosaurs lived at the...

This feels like some kind of horrible joke: "Burn Up is a nail-biting two-part thriller for BBC Two from the pen of multi-award-winning writer Simon Beaufoy (The Full Monty). It's a powerful story of love, commitment and divided loyalty… a thriller in which the stakes couldn't be higher. [...] This topical thriller sees oil executives, environmental activists and politicians collide in the battle between...

Thursdays haven't been funny for a while, have they? But now BBC Two's comedy strand is back with a rather lovely double-bill of programmes to make us all smile. Hopefully. Mock The Week is a well established show now, with Frankie Boyle stealing the limelight every single week, and apparently hours of filming to pick particularly funny bits from.

Now, Ms. Ching-He Huang is the star of Chinese Food Made Easy (BBC Two, Monday, 7 July, 8.30pm) and she's a brilliant person to have on the telly. First and foremost, she's a fantastic cook and secondly, she's a dreamboat...

It's all as unflinchingly silly as its title suggests, with the scriptwriters hilariously trying to make history hip by having their characters say things like, "They couldn't have been fighting Saracens here – that's just nuts " and, "The crusades went TITS UP". Read more...

Not much to report from Brontëland thus far today. Tonight, however, at 10:30 BBC Four is broadcasting the latest screen version of Wide Sargasso Sea again. The Times TV guide wholeheartedly recommends it: Jean Rhys's reworking of Jane Eyre - in which Rochester's mad wife is reimagined as a Creole heiress - is drenched from beginning to end in hothouse sensuality in Brendan Maher's 2006 adaptation....
