Vacation time

I’m off on holiday for a week, so guard the blog well in my absence and feel free to use this entry to chat about any tele, movies or other media that might be of interest to others.

Brief reviews:

Mud Men: Johnny Vaughn does Time Team by himself by excavating the mud 1m around the edge of the Thames. Doesn’t quite work, but Vaughn’s good.

Being Human: This series is almost on the don’t watch list. God it’s boring this time round. What happened?

Being Human (US): Very good. Almost completely original ep and pretty good, funny, etc

Erm, that’s all I can remember as I head off to pack. Bye!

A heads-up for Network Awesome

Just a little heads-up for Network Awesome, which is a slightly awesome web site that’s a bit like a TV station. It doesn’t actually make programmes, but instead has a daily playlist of old TV and movies that they think is worth watching. They’re currently airing an episode of The Prisoner a week and were showing the BBC’s 1984 last night, so give them a try.
