Long story but I would prefer to spare you all the details. I ended up working until gone 11pm in the office on Wednesday night. By the time I got home and started to heat up my food in the microwave, I caught the close of BBC Newsnight. This fabulous mashup video, was used as […]
Return Of The Mack
Last year I was lost. Dealing with a number of issues rather than sharing with my nearest and dearest, I withdrew into myself. The cost of this was frayed relationships with some of my closest friends and as you can imagine a heavy price to pay! Towards the back end of last year, I slowly […]
No Air
Driving home from Wycombe to Slough on Thursday 23rd October, around 9pm, the night sky was lit up with fireworks for Diwali. Travelling down the A404 (M), I was listening to Capital FM and a female caller, requested Wait On Me by Rixton. Having not heard this before, I thought it best to at least […]
Gogglebox
Television – I know, I watch too much for my own good but have in recent years cut down my dosage due to other commitments in my life. I have to be very selective, as I only have a two hour window in the weekday evenings. At weekends I can be out and about for […]
Viral Advertising Perfection
Three have realised that by using an advert that could have easily started life on YouTube and mailed around friends and colleagues via Facebook and Twitter is the ideal way to front a fully blown television spot. (They appear to have a website which enables you to star in the advert yourself!) They appear to […]
Comedy Genius
Stumbled onto this video while switching over from the football on ITV HD. I know I should be more dedicated and sit through all seven hours of the annual BBC telethon but some years are better than others. The first edition away from Television Centre was always going to be interesting and I am surprised […]
Becoming Mike Teevee
Friday 27th September will go down in the history of UK television as a bumper day. Perhaps not since Christmas were so many shows starting, returning or saying goodbye on an epic night of television, focused mainly on Channel 4. Late September is always the time that new shows start Stateside and favourites, such as […]
Pearson, Specter & Litt?
Never underestimate the power of television to change your mind. Characters you actually hate, can turn within the course of a television season (or in the case of Suits, half season – a mere ten episodes) to the point you warm to them and perhaps even have great affection for. In case of Louis Litt, […]
Who’s That Girl?
Series Three of Suits started over six weeks ago and every minute has been gripping. Although the humour too, has hit completely new (and unexpected) levels. It is too early to perhaps judge, only seven episodes in, but I believe it is as good as Series Two (perhaps even better). Watching the episode which aired […]
Beaming With Pride
After his television premiere in July last year, my dear friend Ali is appearing in his second Barclays advert currently on regular rotation on the television networks. In fact, the advert was screened in the peak ‘prime time’ slot during Celebrity Big Brother on Channel 5 on Thursday evening. As I am now such a […]
