Alongside my rather unhealthy obsession with E4 reality show Celebs Go Dating is the soundtrack. However, as noted previously it is almost impossible to use Shazam to identify songs due to their limited use or the highly entertaining commentary from Rob Beckett which is the stand-out feature of the show (across all twelve series – […]
Growing Up
I always tend towards the extremes. I rarely ever do things by halves. While this post will centre around Doctor Who, I really want to go back to my obsession with Hollyoaks at the turn of the century. Unsure of exactly what started this obsession but it probably relates to my sisters Samantha & Natalie […]
Unwatched Television Shows
While you may believe I am a television addict and I would not disagree by any stretch of the imagination. The fact remains however that I am very selective on the television shows I do watch and generally tend not to watch the most popular shows. Such as the revelation that, I have never seen […]
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 […]
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 […]
Wednesday 3rd January 2007
I got my mobile phone out of my jean pocket, it was 18:29 precisely. I had arrived a minute ahead of schedule. Perfect. Now I just had to wait for Terry. I was outside Finsbury Park tube station. It was the first Tuesday of 2007. I was about to head to a football game. Considering […]
Monday 9th January 2006
Perhaps this entry would be better suited to my work log (which I am often reminded does get neglected). Considering this for a few moments, I opted to post here because the story is better suited to what became a long and meandering entry. Where to begin? As I returned to my car after paying […]
Tuesday 13th September 2005
Where were you at 18:56 this evening? Perhaps doing something useful, like driving around your local town looking for a petrol station with juice. Well, while I do not doubt your intentions, you missed a defining moment. Finally, after only following the brief period, I have been crowned, somewhat dubiously (I agree) as the biggest […]
Friday 28th January 2005
Only given a limited theatrical release, last summer, Fahrenheit 9/11 was shown on Channel 4. Perhaps as a documentary, it is exempt from the standard fours year we normally have to wait for a network television premiere. I knew nothing about the Michael Moore attack on the Bush administration, until my friend Nav, mentioned it […]
Saturday 8th January 2005
I remember reading somewhere on the MJ Fan Club News website that a British documentary was being produced about Michael Jackson fan’s to be screened in early 2005. So, it came as a little surprise that early 2005, actually referred to just four days into the new year. While flipping channels, as I do constantly, […]
