What have you been watching this week (w/e 29 May)?

Everyone appears to be off having fun in the sun or looking after their kiddywinks, this week, so you’ve probably not watched any actual tele. But just in case you have, anything good or was there anything you shouldn’t have tuned in for?

We didn’t watch much this week, beyond cracking open the remastered original series Star Trek DVDs and giving them a go. Not as good as I remember, but still better than a whole lot of things I could mention. And we haven’t even got on to the really good eps yet. We have, however, been getting through those Come Dine With Mes at a rate of knots. I’ve got the first couple of episodes of Glee sitting around somewhere, ready to watch and review – should I bother? I’ve also got that Michael Woods ‘Beowulf’ thing from BBC4 to cast my eye over when I have a mo.

No The Daily Show this week, unfortunately. On The Apprentice: surprised to see James survive again – he’s so out next week – and I can understand why Howard got the chop, but Lorraine was probably more deserving. Interesting to see if we get an all-woman final which would be nice, and I’m suspecting it’ll be Nadine v Deborah (sp? x2).

As always, no spoilers unless you’re going to use the <spoiler> </spoiler> tags, please? Ta!
