Detestable TV: "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here"

11/17/2013

By Alex Doust

So here we are again, another year and another batch of “celebrities” have been conned, blackmailed and begged their way back onto TV. What would the build up to Christmas be if not punctuated with these wonderful moments when you see celebrities you hate choking on a kangaroo testicle or a 3 month old rotting egg?

So along with the usual mix of terrible soap actors/actresses/band members/models we have the 90’s legend Alfonso Ribeiro, best known as Carlton, Will Smith’s nerdy step brother in “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and Olympic Gold Medallist Rebecca Adlington, two people who actually don’t fit the usual Z list we’ve come to expect…

Detestable TV - Escape to the Country

4/23/2013

Enter Escape to the Country, the BBC’s daytime show dedicated to helping hard working people find the country house of their dreams. So what happens on this show? A couple or family is selected by the show, this couple or family will be wanting help and expertise in moving house into the country. They will give a list of requirements to the team, things like, we can’t spend more than this, we have to be this close to a school, we need a large driveway etc. (a list of requirements is something I am sure the team behind Escape to the Country never actually glance at, because every single house they show has some serious issue that usually prevents them from making an offer on it). The team will then show them three houses, two picked for them and one super spooky mystery house…

As a single male, I think I am biologically programmed to detest this waste of airtime. So what is Loose Women? Loose Women is a lunchtime topical show, where a group of four interchangeable middle-aged women interview C-list celebrities and “discuss the day’s topics”. So why am I so opposed to this show?

Have you seen...? - Jonathan Creek

4/3/2013

By Alex Doust

When Jonathan Creek fist began in 1997, it seemed to be a typical murder mystery type show which is probably why my parents put it on, what they expected was an hour of mystery and gloom, as with most murder mysteries. What they got was an hour and a half of pure genius, with several laughs (not giggles, full on laughs) and a mystery so complex even Sherlock Holmes would have to ask for help.

Doctor Who: Top 3 Fourth Doctor Stories

3/26/2013

By Alex Doust

“What’s the point in being grown up if you can’t be childish sometimes?” 

The fourth doctor, portrayed by Tom Baker was certainly lived up to his statement. He could be serious, he could be violent but he took the eccentricity of Patrick Troughton and escalated it! 

(Took Troughton’s Jelly Babies too!)

Sly, wise, intelligent and with wit beyond measure, the third Doctor as portrayed by Jon Pertwee was stranded on Earth for most of his incarnation. But he put his time to good use, bringing the thrills of the universe home to earth not only saved the show money, but added realism too! Here are my top 3 third Doctor adventures…

The second Doctor, portrayed by the wonderful Patrick Troughton! The Galactic hobo, energetic, eccentric, this was a Doctor who was much more of a clown, with this added energy came a new dimension to Doctor Who, suddenly the doctor could get more involved in the action, he could run, he could jump, he could... Stop and play cards in the street.

Intelligent, proud and highly opinionated, the first Doctor, played by William Hartnell, travelled the universe with a variety of companions. Though he might not have had the strength or agility of the Doctors that follow him, his courage, daring, intelligence and pure nerve more than make up for it! So here are my three top first Doctor stories…

Detestable TV - South Park

By Alex Doust

Lots of people will look at this and think “What? How can you not like South Park?” looking back to all the classic moments from the 16 years it’s been on the air. But I’m sorry, anyone who watches the latest series cannot deny that the program has gone on far too long…

Detestable TV - The Only Way is Essex (TOWIE)

3/5/2013

 
Picture
By Alex Doust

When our wonderful Editor proposed the idea, I jumped right in. No way could I miss a chance to have a go at one of the saddest excuses for a TV show in recent years. It upsets me that this article will be placed in the TV Section.

So, where shall we start? I know! We’ll start with the tagline for the show…
