There’s nothing better than Christmas TV. No seriously, there really isn’t. Yeah yeah a lot of it is absolute crap but that’s the joy of the festive season. As an avid crap TV watcher myself (when I get the chance) I’ll tell you about the joyful showings on Channel 4 for Christmas Eve and Christmas day (be prepared for the utmost excitement)…
If you’re sat with a mince pie in one hand, a sherry in the other and just happen to be wondering what you can watch on ITV across the next couple of days, this is the post for you. Continue reading
If you need a little guide on what to watch this Christmas, we have the best, hand-picked shows we think you should watch. BBC has to be the one we all put on because they have NO ADS! NO ADS! (Unlike those other channels). Continue reading
As you may already know, throughout the Christmas period Lincoln and That are reviewing all the best Christmas films (yes, ALL the BEST Christmas films).
After a long search on YouTube I came across what I was searching for. Second Star to the Left is a film I vaguely remember from being about eight or nine. All I can remember was that it involved a rabbit, guinea pig and hamster who had to deliver a present.
The film itself is only 29 minutes long, so I decided to sit down and see if young Alice had good taste. It turns out it wasn’t too bad…
What a deceptive title, it isn’t all about parks, but it is a little bit.
If you haven’t had chance to see Parks and Recreation yet, you really should.
The comedy stars Tina Fey’s best friend Amy Poehler, and she’s just as good as playing the head of the department in Pawnee, Indiana as Tina Fey is in managing her staff as Liz Lemon from 30 Rock.
The show features the same level of dysfunctional office politics. You also feel from day one as though you are really in on the jokes they exchange in the office. You quickly learn that Jerry is the butt of all office jokes (who has a timeshare in Muncie, IN, much to the amusement of the other staff). Tom starts all the office jokes, and April isn’t as bad really as she first appears.
The story lines always seem to be potential real situations for local councillors everywhere, a lack of funding, lack of public interest, and lack of interest from other councillors. You feel as though this could almost be a real fly on the wall documentary, if it weren’t so funny.
The first series does start poorly, but the second season onwards is where it gets better. The first season is only six episodes (about two hours in total), so still worth watching for all the character introductions.
The show seems to evolve in countless ways, always relevant, and always amusing. If you enjoyed 30 Rock and are still mourning the loss of the show, you will definitely love Parks and Recreation.
It’s also available on BBC Four, which 30 Rock isn’t, how distressing.
There’s currently a lot of notable programmes on your telly, so we thought, alongside the typical student diet of chilli con carne, pizza, lectures and drinking, that we’d tell you what is on that box in the corner of the room, what’s currently worth watching, and what’s not.
(Left to Right) Alec Baldwin, Tina Fey, Tracy Morgan, Jack McBrayer and Jane Krakowski.
Need laughter? Desperate for procrastination? Finished watching Breaking Bad? Is that three yeses? Then we have the ideal show for you! It’s true, we do. Its 30 Rock, created by and starring Tina Fey. Continue reading
It was shown in 64 countries and 10.2 million tuned in for it. No, we’re not talking about X-Factor because that is just ridiculous. We’re talking about the most beloved British sci-fi show Doctor Who.
Last Saturday old and new fans tuned in to watch the 50th anniversary special. Let’s just say it was…FANTASTIC! (If you haven’t watched it, what are you doing with your life)!? Continue reading
The time is nearing and the Doctor must lapse into his own timeline once again. Its time he met himself and himself. I’m talking about the 50th anniversary folks. (Come on, BBC has been promoting it for a month). Continue reading
