"It'd be nice if they tried to live the way we do in our home." What Vida doesn't realise is that she's taking on two, nightmare British teenagers. At the end of each episode of The World's Strictest Parents, this had always been trailed. The clips showed a fearsome shouting African woman, loosing it at a surly Brummie teenager. It looked as though it was going to be serious car-crash TV. I couldn't...

First, to clear up the BBC's transmission policy. Wednesday nights on BBC2 at 9pm is the main broadcast time. That episode is one behind the US episode. However after that, on BBC3 and in HD, is the next episode i.e....

To the Oxford Union in Frewin Court, central Oxford, to be an audience member for the filming of a new BBC 3 series on self-confidence. Five nurses, each suffering from a lack of confidence, gave a fifteen minute talk about themselves, and then answered some questions from the thirty or so audience members. A worthwhile morning as our comments on their talk helped boost their self esteem, and they...

Ladies and Gentlemen, I know I've said this before, but this time, I mean it. I've seen the worst TV show ever transmitted in broadcast history. There have been some incredibly bad shows on over the years, Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps , Touch The Truck...

THERE may have been a lot of love in the room, and there was certainly a lot of sex going on, but mostly there was just an awful lot of talking at the German free love commun

I can't quite believe it but The World's Strictest Parents is fast becoming one of my favourite shows. Who'd-a-thunk-it? A programme about the very worst of this country's young people shouting at their parents, treating people like doggo and then shouting at the uber-strict surrogate parents. Yes, it's Parent Swap and I should hate it. But it's a journey programme and I'm a sucker for a good journey...

We all know that the only thing that's more annoying that ironic clipshows is the talking heads that appear on them. Guilty of seemingly constant appearances on these shows is that fey girl with doe eyeballs girl who used to be the editor of Smash Hits! and comedians not funny enough for their own panel shows. Naturally, I'm seething jealous because I could get loadamoney from venting about just about...

Every now and then you see a TV show which seems destined to fail, but yet you personally enjoy. One such was a rather unusual one-off comedy I saw early this year on BBC3 called Being Human, about a vampire and a werewolf who flatshare — and then discover that their house is haunted by [...]

The place: Blackpool The crime: Drug debts The solution: a stun gun? Part time footballist Lee Broadbent - well known around Blackpool as a bit part player - is about to go down in circumstances worthy of a BBC3 comedy-drama . They've pled guilty, so no need for the dreaded 'allegedly' here. Broadbent and his associate, one Calum Holmes, took the victim hostage in a car on a trading estate, and proceeded...
