They wheeled out various embittered ex-partners and tabloid hacks to put the boot in about what she used to get up to. It just seemed so unnecessary. I was half expecting somebody to come on and say she lied about the leg. "There wasn't an accident - she just cut it off to get a bit of sympathy."

Didn't have the energy to watch such obvious rubbish. That it was Ch4 putting this out perhaps doesn't surprise me but man, they need to sort themselves out.

am also looking forward to series 2 of the shield (which is the best thing EVAH). I noticed it last night that it's already showing on cable but as I don't know how far into the series it is I'm going to have to wait another month for it to come back on Five

The siege episode the other week was the best hour of tv I've seen all year so far, sheer genius.
Linda Block was in the really quite good Murphy's Law last night, with a very different hairdo at the end of it and an awful cockernee accent.

The siege episode was fantastic. But oh, Jamie Parker, how I'll miss you. I hope this means that Tash will fuck off, I'm sick of her moaning and frosted pink eyeshadow

Come off it Robin. I can't imagine that the relatives of Shipman's victims would really want to turn on to find him slotted in between Jordan and Mick Hucknall. It had to be done.

And ooh hooray, no more Nikki Peggs. But then how will Lynda Block get out of prison? (no ladder in her tights jokes please). Maybe she'll offer to help catch Patrick Doyle in return for her release or something stupid and random like that
By the way, I love the way that nobody in the show refers to her as Lynda or Ms Block but ALWAYS Lynda Block. In the wedding scene at the beginning of the series I wa sure the vicar was going to say "Do you, Lynda Block"

this = dumbing down.
on a different note, paxman's chiding of the contestants when they couldn't do the binary arithmatic on university challenge last week was funny. after about 5 seconds he'd start hurrying them up whilst they were busy adding 2^7, 2^6 and 2^1 and dividing it by 2^3 plus 2^1.

In the final Magnus Magnusson series, one of the specialist subject was the Discworld novels; I knew more of the answers than the contestant did. But I wouldn't try to argue that they were asking easy questions, just because I knew what the answers were.

this was wrong. obviously. the first 2^1 should be 2^3 (200 / 10 = 20)

Magical New TV Show I Think As Many People As Possible Should Be Watching: ABC's "Threat Matrix". It's highly engaging and not one of those serial-type series that one would be totally lost over if one were to suddenly start watching it. Each hour-long episode highlights one complete story, and not every episode ends neatly or nicely. I'm really hoping the ratings for this show improve so it won't get cancelled.
