So a good week of television ahead all-round. It will be sad as usual to see Saturday Night Takeaway end its current series run, as the terrestrial channels become noticeably more dull when that show goes off-air. However there are plenty of exciting new shows beginning this week, including the latest series of Paul O' Grady's For The Love Of Dogs and Alan Carr's Epic Gameshow.

I'm glad that ITV have decided to give It's Clarkson On TV another chance, after it relatively underperformed in its festive slot last year. It's a great show with shades of Harry Hill's TV Burp, that provides a witty commentary on television across the globe. Unfortunately ITV have not exactly been promoting this show much, so I cannot imagine it will gain the viewers that failed to tune in last year, but hopefully some new audience members will come across it by chance and decide to give it a watch.

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...
