Who’s Barry Scott?

The Japanese are not only mad, they’re double hard so & so’s a swell as this game show proves: Ninja Warrior.

Those of you in the UK can pick it up on Challenge TV where the undead Stuart Hall provides classic commentary reminiscent of It’s a Knockout from your dim & distant youth. In this [...]

Jeremy Beadle, he of the unfeasibly small hand, neat beard and psychotically cruel candid camera trick is no more:
From Game For A Laugh, to the unimaginably popular Beadle’s About and final retirement on You’ve Been Framed it’s yet another piece of my childhood gone forever - here’s a clip from BA where someone else is [...]

I rarely bother with TV these days as there’s just so much dross on, what with ‘reality’ shows, celebrity dancing/ice skating/formation minefield dancing (I can dream about the last one) that I just give up & read books instead - how retro! - but having actually seen the first episode of Reaper, I might try [...]

I post this segment up from the more modern (i.e. colour) Twilight Zone movie, as my wife has never seen it, and describing the gremlin on the wing segment gave her the chills!

“Can I have a microphone? He’s just holding a stick over me….”
I feel sorry for some of the people [...]

I try not to watch anything involving Simon ‘High-waistband’ Cowell, or Sharon ‘hic’ Osbourne if I can, but the audition stage of the X Factor is always good, if you enjoy watching mentally ill people makes fools of themselves on TV. Hey, the Romans had lions & Christians, we’ve got this.
Anyway, there was a sparkling [...]

Bear Grylls, no not a wildlife barbecue (bet he’s never heard that one before) is a complete lunatic, but makes the kind of TV you can enjoy watching when safely tucked up in your suburban living room.
Check out his website for detailed information, but this is a man who climbed Everest at the age [...]
