Let's start with this week's Downton Abbey viewer moan. Apparently the story is moving too fast for the poor dears. As we all know, cosy Sunday night TV has to move at snail pace. Look at the all time classic of the genre Heartbeat, the show ran over twenty years and they never got out of the 60's. So come on Downton Abbey, pull your socks up and slow down.
Sarah Michelle Geller returned to television this week, playing twin sisters, in Ringer. It's a kind of throw back thriller, with more than a nod to Brian DePalma. It has the feel of a mini series. You really can't see where it would go by, say, season three.
Another week another dreadful Doctor Who episode. The Cybermen were thrown away as, the ever versatile, James Corden seemed to suck the life out of an already lifeless plot. How many more times can he recycle Smithy? The Doctor is supposed to die this week, can't wait.
As some of you may know, we have an unhealthy obsession with Home and Away. Well, they seem to have out done themselves. Now that, bad guy (ish ) Brax is being threatened. It seems that, these days, the villains are being threatened by villains, who have villains of their own.
On the forthcoming attractions front, we all wait with baited breathe for Terra Nova on SKY 1 Monday. And that most Marmite of shows, Californication returns to 5* this Thursday.
Over.
