I'm glad to see 5 is repeating all those old An Audience With shows. Not so much because they are great entertainment, mostly they are not, but because what the audience can tell you of the time they were transmitted. Row after row of micro celebs and the long dead. It is great fun trying to put a name to the faces, then wondering what the hell happened to them. In fact, I have a better idea, how about a show called The Audiences of An Audience With. The long dead and the long forgotten get the chance to shine again.
I really loved the first two seasons of In Treatment, but the third seems to have come down a notch, nothing to do with the acting, which is still excellent. It is the patients stories, they are somehow just not as gripping as in the previous runs. But there is a while to go, so perhaps they will pick up.
When will Claire Powell get her own reality show? It is so unfair her popping in and out of Peter Andre's, Kerry Katona's, and now Amy Childs. Come on Claire, you have the star power, give yourself a go. It's what the Nation wants.
I quite liked Onion Network News on Sky Arts 1 this week. It would probably be funnier if we were more familiar with the workings of American network news and it was a bit uneven, but on the whole, it was sharp and when it hit, it hit hard.
Terra Nova watch time. Dinosaur count this week: 0.
Ringer ended its first run this week and highly enjoyable it was too. A mad cap mix of... Well everything. There are probably plot holes the size of the Grand Canyon, but it moves so fast, and twists so deftly, that an idiot like me joyfully jumps over them.
On the forthcoming attractions front Hung season 3 starts on Sky Atlantic this week. If you have seen the other two, I thought I'd let you know because it is hardly going to be shouted from the rooftops.
