  The brand new 8th series premiers this Wednesday at 9pm GMT on BBC1. It’s fair to say that Spooks is one of my most favourite TV series and certainly one of the very best things that the BBC airs each year. From the BBC press office: Award-win...

  I don’t watch a massive amount of TV but what I do watch can sometimes be considered a little niche. I watch a lot of documentaries – especially stuff on BBC4 which is probably my favourite channel (though most people don’t watch it...

  I’m not actually a big watcher of TV. That said, I was looking through the tv guide showing what’s on over the next 7 days and there is a lot that caught my eye. Namely: Sunday South Pacific Sunday 14 June 8:00pm – 9:00pm BBC2 6/6 ...

  I saw this on BBC4 late last night. It’s not that new, maybe a year or so old, but it passed me by when it first came out. It is a docudrama about Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, aka the ‘Andes flight disaster’. In 1972, a small aer...

  Enjoyed the first episode in the new eight part second series which has returned to the BBC.  Series one was one of my favourite TV shows last year. Hard to say why I like it as I have little interest in police dramas usually. I just love the depict...

  Really very much looking forward to this. Series 2 premieres on BBC1 next Monday 20th April at 9pm. I really did enjoy the first series which aired last year. As mentioned at the time, I don’t watch cop shows normally. I have little to no inter...

• The one to watch: Damages Season 2 (BBC)

  I am incredibly happy. Not only has the second season of Mad Men begun its UK premier (Tuesday nights on BBC4) - Damages starring Glenn Close returns to our screens this Sunday. And I am supremely excited. Season 1, last year, was absolutely electric...

  At last the day has come. Mad Men series 2 finally aired on BBC4. I have waited a long time for this and seeing it again on our screens has been sublime. I love how the Radio Times described it: The first season of Mad Men probably won more awards t...
