Do you sometimes just take a gamble, a punt? Well I have done that a few times recently with limited success, until last night. More on the success a bit later but let me first focus on the failures. As if I do not already have enough US television to watch, I thought I would […]

I am sure like me you had seen the trailers, at the end of (or before) Eastenders. While perhaps the title was rather ambiguous, the trail was enough. I was definitely going to watch the show but it would not air until Sunday (25th) on BBC Three. Could I wait that long? Of course not! […]
