I have watched Francesco's Venice over and over again, also Top to Toe. I treated myself to Mediterranean Voyage and will watch it repeatedly too. Francesco inspired a visit to Venice, and as a result will make a third trip next year. His home was pointed out to us by our Gondolier, and every time we passed on the Vaporetto, we gave him a little wave. I'd like to think he saw :o) Francesco you are a gem and convey your passion for the history of your city and all things Venetian. You care which makes us care. I confess however, you have managed to tinge visits to Venice with a little guilt. I hope we treat La Serenissima and her citizens with courtsesy and respect. It too would break my heart if I were a native of this magical place ... Read More:

British comedy, or comedy in general, doesn't get much better "dan dis". It's black, mean, edgy and full of wonderfully embarrassing social situations and tons of catch phrases you'll find yourself using (and I'm not even English-speaker per se!).

The predecessor of this series, the chat show parody Knowing Me, Knowing You With A.P., was also fine (the Christmas special Knowing Me, Knowing Yule in particular), but I think this is a huge improvement from that. This is largely because it's not restricted to that chat show format. In my opinion, this is also of higher quality than the slightly uneven and more "sit-commy" 2nd series.

And what can you say about the main character, Alan Partridge (played brilliantly by Steve ... Read More:

When I heard that Simon Doonan's book had been turned into a mini-series and set in the 90s instead of the 60s I was a little concerned. After watching it, all fears of it being misplaced were gone, and I was left wanting more. I won't bore you with the plot, as that has been covered more than adequately by the DVD description above, but the stamp of quality that the creators and writers of Gimme Gimme Gimme, Absolutely Fabulous and Beautiful Thing bring to this production are to be seen everywhere.

The casting could not have been improved upon, with an hysterical cameo by Brenda Fricker as Gran (or Narg - the backwards version awarded her). The two young leads (Luke Ward-Wilkinson & Layton Williams) are extraordinary in their ... Read More:

I've just finished watching Season 5 and have to say this was one of the best seasons for me, since Season 1 and 2 (which are still my favorites). Characters come and go, and some missed more than others, but the series goes on in strength, and there's never a dull moment on the estate. Great comedy TV for the open-minded adult.

This innovative, spellbinding new television series, Merlin, draws its audience in to a world full of intrigue and magic right from the start. The episodes are original, exciting and with some excellent yet not over-used effects, and compelling characters.

The actors are extremely well-cast bringing the series to life, whilst its combination of Robin Hood/Dr Who style excitement and well developed plots (with magic as prominent here as Robin Hoods' archery skills and the Doctors' Time Lord science), this new series is a real treat to watch.

Whether you are a younger viewer or over 18, 'Merlin' has something for everyone, with its exciting, new interpretation of the legend. Some recognizable names give tantalizing clues as to ... Read More:

Everyone tells of how season 2 fails to compare to season 1 and 3, and I have to agree it was not as good! So why do I still give it 5 stars then? Well..... seasons 1 & 3 were easily at least 7 stars!!
An extremely watchable show, and I may have to buy the boxsets again as my constant watching of the DVDs has made the box very sruffy and bent!

Series two is better than series one by ten billions miles...but it still sucks worst than anything I have ever seen in my entire life.
(in this season a person can talk but they are dead, ok that is fine...but then that person needs to give rescue breaths (CPR) to someone...well that person can't do it because they are dead and thus according to the plot can't breath...but that person still can talk?!?!?!?!?!...who ever wrote this show has less understanding of the human body than a muck sweeper in the darkages. It was painful to see this scene and wonder why the actor didn't just walk out on the show when he/she got the script)
Now about the show...
I have to say that Owen was almost an ok character, Yanto (or something like that I really don't ... Read More:

As others have stated at only 11 episodes way too short and expensive , but it picks up where it left off , straight into nail biting and exciting action , all in all an excellent series , I hope season 4 has the full 23/24 episodes

Here we go again. Another CSI clone. Haven't we seen this all before? Well actually, not quite. There is nothing quite like Dexter.

Dexter Morgan (played by the outstanding Michael C. Hall) is a blood splatter analyst who likes nothing more than a bucket of blood at a crime scene. Dexter is also a serial killer, or occasional killer, who kills the criminals who escape justic by administering some of his own.

Dexter was a troubled boy, adopted as a toddler and gaining a sister (with whom he now works along side) and brought up by an honest cop, who realised that Dexter was no ordinary thinking boy. Using knowledge and techniques shown to him by his father, Dexter has forged a 'career' as a very tidy and neat monster, as well as being a brilliant ... Read More:
