Put a shouty man of a certain age in charge of something important enough for long enough – a nation at war; British domestic security; the F-Word kitchen – and before you know it, he's a national treasure. Or at least that's what seems to have happened to Winston Churchill, Harry out of Spooks, and Gordon Ramsay, who's from that special breed of middle-aged male broadcasters that everyone...

The Best I hope most of you were watching the Festival of Remembrance last night on BBC1. It was one of the most beautiful displays of military pageantry I've ever watched on British television. To see the veterans of WW2 together with the Chelsea Pensioners and the widows of those brave boys who've lost their lives during the course of 2009, brought out the very best of what is great about this country....

It doesn’t matter what he appears in, be it Gosford Park, Phantom of the Opera, Bleak House or The Jewel in the Crown, there’s one scene, and one line that [...]
SO DID Harry Pearce – last seen being kidnapped – live to spy for another series? Yes, of course he did . . . even though they tried toying with us for the first 12 minutes (Spooks, BBC1, Wednesday).

Despite mixed reviews by critics, I must say that on the first couple of listens, I think this is quite good. My favourite tracks are, Bodies,You Know Me,Do You Mind, Last Days of Disco,Deceptacon and Starstruck. I'd give it 7/10 and if you like Robbie, I can guarantee you that the...
I was browsing the channels the other night when I came across Jimmy's Food Factory on BBC1. He was talking about milk so I'd thought I would watch it, living on a dairy farm and all. What I saw was quite shocking. On Woodlands Farm the milk is simply pasteurised. Nothing else is done to it. No homogenising; no oxygenising; no sterilising; just milk as it should be. Milk that you buy in the supermarkets...
It's that time on a Friday where I let you all let you hair down a little it is 5pm GMT. On Wednesday it was the 20th Anniversary of Wallace and Gromit marked by this Google ident. So for a little bit of fun here is their appearance in last Christmas's BBC One ident. But just as Nick Park was inspired by other stop-motion animators so he has inspired others. I found this student's assignment piece...
