Now that’s a hat.
Got a picture of Richard Armitage’s head, preferably wearing a hat? Then leave a link to it below and if it’s judged suitable, it will appear in the “Dick Heads” gallery.

Third-episode verdict: White Collar
In the US: Fridays, 10/9c, USA Network
Three episodes into White Collar and I haven’t changed my mind much about the show since I previewed the first episode. In fact, it’s gone slightly down in my estimation, not by being worse per se, but by becoming blander.
Supernatural parodies CSI, Grey’s Anatomy and other shows for Changing Channels
For once, the funniest thing on TV last week wasn’t Community or The Thick of It but Supernatural. Changing Channels saw our heroes thrown into an alternative TV universe, in which rather than having to slay demons and ghosts, they have to survive Japanese game shows, CSI: Miami and Grey’s Anatomy.
After the jump, clips of the best bits, but first a promo and the alternative title sequence for this episode to give you an idea of the flavour.

Night is Day – Series Two trailer
Since we’re on something of a superhero kick today, here’s a trailer for series two of Night is Day, a series created by TMINE reader Fraser Coull. It’s low budget, it’s set in Glasgow, it has superheroes in it – give it a look in.
Series 1 is available on DVD and series two will out on DVD next year.
Competitions
Preview: Misfits 1×1
In the UK: Thursdays, 10pm, E4. Starts November 12
Stick around lads and lasses because this is a very special preview. Not only is there going to be a competition at the end of this, there’s also going to be the very first “not great quality” The Medium is Not Enough podcast involving me (and my not very dulcet tones), some other journalists and the creator of E4’s Misfits Howard Overman.
Anyway, there are two things British TV traditionally does very badly. One is youth shows. Usually, they’re embarrassing – witness more or less anything on BBC1, BBC2 and, ironically enough, especially BBC3 that’s aimed at “young people”. Okay, there’s E4’s Skins, but that’s a rare diamond in the rough of British TV.
The second is superhero shows. No Heroics, Phoo Action, My Hero: oh dear, oh dear, and can I just add, oh dear?
What’s this though? Light at the end of the tunnel?
Now, from E4, comes Misfits, in which ASBO kids on community service get struck by lightning and end up with super powers. It’s funny, clever and far more adult than a whole load of shows I could mention. Trailers now, review, competition and podcast after the jump.
