  1. A review of "The Neighbourhood" on ITV.

    Sometimes, i watch these shows so you don't have to. And i very nearly didn't get to the end of this one.

    It's hideous, quite the worst programme i've seen in many years. Dull, insipid, and it feels fake from the core.

  3. "Celebrity Sabotage" gets the Week's review this week.

    Rather enjoyed it: they'd put plenty of effort and budget into the show, and some careful editing made sure we knew what was going on at all times.

  4. After ep 3, am •this close• to giving up on The Neighbourhood. Ended up watching tonight’s ep at double speed and with subtitles on.

    It’s just so bland, so tedious, so predictable. So aspiring middle class. So much the innate conservatism of the petty bourgeoisie.

    To cap it all, the format rewards the misogynist (with more than a dash of homophobia).

    (And which server are they on? “Call 426311”, but what’s your exchange? Maroons.)

  5. A review of "Do You Know Your Place", a BBC2 teatime show from before the clocks changed.

    Paul from The Traitors visits tourist attractions and slices of life, and they make a thin quiz around it.

    Watch it for the tourist bits, and the slices of life; i think of it as "Holiday '71" with questions.

  6. An "in brief" edition of the Week.

    Counterpoint, Radio 4's music quiz, is at an inflection point: new producer, perhaps a new host soon, same format.

    Gladiators had the inevitable Injury Series, and while it was good, it wasn't as great as i remember last year's.

    And which team is best-placed to win University Challenge?

  7. Reviewing "Handcuffed" with Jonathan Ross.

    A fascinating show, showing how it's mostly superficial things that divide people, and how a little tolerance and patience can be helpful.

    Told its story in a brilliant way, not fully chronological, but logical and enhancing the tale.

  12. A few words on "The Summit", ITV's latest attempt to combine amateur mountaineering with social disagreements and a cheap Interceptor knock-off.

    There's almost a morality lesson here, but nobody's going to have seen it, because the show was really not very good.

  16. "The Floor" from ITV. Rob Brydon asks people to Name That Thing. The best at naming That Thing gets territory on a game floor.

    There's plenty of tactics, and incentives to stay and play, and a lot of quiz to entertain everyone.

    And there are tweaks and twists within the format they've not used this year, perhaps saving it for a second series when the audience is more ready for it.
