Another packed week of television ahead then, as we approach the yearly Comic Relief telethon (if you wish to donate to Comic Relief, you can click here). I'm particularly looking forward to checking out Marvel Studios' exciting new television series The Falcon And The Winter Soldier, which has been receiving glowering spoiler free reviews from the press as of late.

After Piers Morgan's ill-conceived comments regarding Meghan Markle's suicidal thoughts, it is also great to see two shows airing next week which cover the subject matter of mental health. It is such an important issue right now, especially concerning the recent lockdowns which have left a detrimental impact on many who struggle with their mental wellbeing, and so I believe it's more important than ever that these kind of issues are discussed rather than ignored.

Some of you may have noticed Coronation Street is missing from the Friday schedules. Unfortunately due to the Comic Relief telethon airing this upcoming Friday, I was unable to find a way to fit it in, so instead Friday's episode of Corrie will join The Gadget Show on next Saturday's listings.

Happy TV viewing!

REVIEW: Bates Motel, Season 2 Episode Four 'Check-Out'

 REVIEW: Bates Motel, Season 2 Episode Four 'Check-Out' The revelations at the end of the previous episode were quite a shock to the Bates family tree, to say the least. Dylan (Max Thieriot), it seems, was the product of a rape - and not any old rape, but a rape which occurred between brother and sister. This episode picks up with the ramifications from such a reveal, in what is a very character focused episode of Bates Motel. Poor Dylan. He's had this major reveal about his parentage thrown on him, and it doesn't seem as though he has been coping at all. Dylan's been on the booze, and when Norman (Freddie Highmore) and Norma (Vera Farmiga) find him, he's in quite a state. Check-Out is a real showcase for the character of Dylan; it develops his character significantly, and poses some interesting questions regarding this new status quo he has found himself in. If everything you thought you knew changed, and you had a different father to who you were led to beli...

REVIEW: WandaVision, Season 1 Episode Seven 'Breaking The Fourth Wall'

 REVIEW: WandaVision, Season 1 Episode Seven 'Breaking The Fourth Wall' Originally published in 2020, here are my thoughts on WandaVision's seventh episode 'Breaking The Fourth Wall'. This episode brings us up to date, with Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) now giving us her take on a modern sitcom. This version of WandaVision feels like a combination of Modern Family and The Office , with - as the title suggests - lots of the typical fourth wall breaking that you would expect of this mockumentary style. As with the other sitcom episodes, it's just so funny too. The comedy really lands, with so many moments that make you laugh out loud. One of my personal favourite gags from Modern Day WandaVision was the glitchy magic with the kids' game controllers. Seeingtey their controllers going from the modern PlayStation-style to the N64, and then to the Atari joystick, before landing on a pack of UNO playing cards just really made me chuckle. As did the hilarity of...
