Overview

Let's start this week's Overview with that 'couldn't care less' fest Steps Reunion. This week was another, will they won't they, tear fuelled episode as the Fab Five picked, scratched, and clawed at old wounds. The show makes it feel like the break up of The Beatles or something, as they point fingers at their Yoko or Yoko's, in this case, as H and Claire are the main culprits it seems. Who would have thought there was was so much bad blood and acrimony in Steps? It was always so cheerful. They all seem comfortably off, so it's hard to think why they are putting themselves through this. In the words of five wise philosophers, some things are better best forgotten.

The Secret Circle started on Sky Living this week and I sat there thinking, 'What does this remind me of?' After a while I got my answer...everything. With the Vampire Diaries rolling into its third season on ITV2, on Tuesday, it will be a nightmare watching both. You can imagine the story lines and characters, forming into one big supernatural blob.

Am I the only person who thinks Argos TV is not giving us the shop experience? Come on, less like QVC and more like queueing at your collection point please.

Another self satisfied series of Doctor Who ended this week. As the convoluted death of the Doctor plot lumbered to its conclusion, the only people on the edge of their seats were probably those who had dozed off. Plus the Doctor is always being put forward as this bogey man of the Universe, someone to be feared, then in trots Matt Smith. I don't buy it. There's no intimidating edge to his characterisation of the Doctor. In fact, he could take a few lessons from the members of Steps about steely stares and dark determination.
