Every Friday, I let you know the latest announcements about when new, imported TV shows will finally be arriving on your screens – assuming anyone’s bought any, of course.

After last week’s splurge of new shows, it’s all gone a bit quiet again, with only getting a premiere date. And I haven’t reviewed it. Oh well.
