Now there’s lush. FX, the UK TV channel that no one watches yet keeps picking good stuff to show, has bought the rights to The Daily Show spin-off The Colbert Report and is showing it at 11pm, starting tonight. It’s good and it’s funny (although you’ll probably have had to watch Bill O’Reilly on Fox News to really get the point of it) so catch it if you can – unfortunately, you’re probably not going to be able to watch it since it’s on Sky rather than Freeview. Ho hum.

I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
