The BBC is once again proving a destructive force when it comes to kids, as six young students were rushed to the hospital, after mimicking a scene from the show "Waterloo Road" which featured students drinking stolen, science lab Ethanol (alcohol). Writers must be careful of what they author into scripts, bearing in mind, the impressionable public, particularly kids, that are often eager...
This Thursday sees the second episode of Misfits and I can’t wait. The minute I saw the preview, I knew I’d get hooked on this new E4 series. The cast is edgy, sexy and just excellent. The programme’s combination of gore, comedy, suspense and drama really sets it apart from anything else on TV right [...]
Want the I'm A Celeb experience – only without the actual "celebs"? These shows more than fit the bill. And don't feature Katie Price This might come as a bit of a shock to some – especially the people who've filled an alarming proportion of today's newspapers with near-naked photos of the How Clean Is Your House lady – but not everyone likes I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out...
Filed under: Lifestyle Fun - Inspired by my own Halloween outfit from a few weeks ago and the new superpowered TV series (E4), I've selected some of the best existing gay superheroes. Here are the results in no particular order (just like all the best results shows!) ... Read more Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
I did say I had quite a few low culture articles planned for this week; actually I was going to do one more, about Ben Whishaw in Cock at the Royal Court, but since that sold out long before it opened there didn't seem much point. Instead, starting with last Thursday, I previewed Misfits , E4's new " Heroes meets Skins " show from Merlin writer Howard Overman, starring the young man in my...

Fox's musical drama Glee, which comes to E4 next year, is a ratings sensation in the US and downloads of songs from the show are dominating iTunes Though seen as a bit of a gamble, Newsweek recently reported, the musical "dramedy" Glee has turned out to be among the year's biggest TV successes in the US. And not just because of its ratings, good though they are. No, what makes Glee, which...
I'm more excited about E4's new superhero drama Misfits than I was when I first heard about the project. The recent promo was slick and arty (if a little confusing), and that style has continued into the recent TV spots -- which aren't pushing the superhero nature of the series. It wouldn't surprise me if most people tune in expecting a Skins stopgap and are astonished when the ASBO teens get superpowers!...
A new E4 series called Misfits you say? About a group of young delinquents doing community service? We’ve not been this put off a new TV series since the Bad Girls pilot. In fact, the likelihood of a good series coming from E4 is akin to that of finding a hen’s tooth, or Tess Daly ’s soul. Imagine the disquiet and shock which consumed us when we saw the first episode of this teen-...
"Skins" (BBC/E4 explicit teen drama) This is a follow up to the articles Madonna Violates The Privacy Of Minors (October 7. 2009) and Did They Learn Nothing From Heath Ledger (October 8. 2009). In the aforementioned articles, I wrote of the BBC's misconduct in conjunction with Madonna, as added to the Aisha v. FBI case, regarding the pedophilic tone present in their misdeeds. One month later...
