I'm not sure if you've noticed but Cinema classifications have become works of comic genius. We've come a long way since the board of censors just scraped a random ranking on each film without any indication of why it was...
WHY spend a lot of money to see a comedian, just because he has been on telly? He / she only has so much material and you will have seen them do most of it on "eight out of ten...

... Mock The Week (Thursday, BBC 2, 9pm). It's one thing for us to enjoy it, it's quite another to see six comedians enjoying the work of a seventh, quite so much. Yet that was just what happened when Stewart...
The Cup could - and should - have been so good! A documentary Office-style comedy on the trials and tribulations of a boys' football team and the antics of their parents had comedy gold written all over it. The producer's...

The X-Factor's back, Spooks has got a Saved by the Bell "new class" and Jeff Stelling is ready to keep Saturday's kicking on the football front. Here is Remote Control's five to watch this week...

Another week, another BBC3 comedy attempt. This time it's Scallywagga', a sketch show format which is desperately trying to get down wiv da yoof! It's no high-brow comedy effort, that's for sure, and some of it isn't funny in the...
Some great gags on Live at the Apollo tonight: "On Big Brother, on eviction night, don't let the ones not being evicted hear the cheers or the boos as someone goes out. Let them just hear silence. Then a gunshot."...
POSH SPICE is one of those famous people I'd dearly love to hate. Largely due to the things I've read about her. But then I hear an interview with her and realise that she's very good at laughing at herself,...
Bad week? Struggling to smile? Feel like it's been five very long days in the office? Then fear not, because once again, Friday night is comedy night. It's quite a while since I've looked at a terrestrial TV schedule and...
At last, I can turn on the telly at 9pm tonight for Mock the Week (BBC 2) without that nagging feeling that I really should see out True Dare Kiss on BBC 1. Perhaps the grass is greener on the...
Idle questions I may or may not have asked myself in the past: Does Diana, princess of Wales actually sell newspapers? Do Derby County fans really believe they have a cat in hell's chance of surviving in the Premiership? And...
IT'S a tough call. Much as I want to stick it out with True Dare Kiss (BBC 1m 9pm) it's getting harder to as the weeks go by. As dramas go, it is excellent. Sneaky, feuding, head-strong sisters and an...
Never in the history of the universe has there been an organisation quite so ready to whip itself in public than the BBC. A good 40% of last night's News At Ten was given over to the fact that they...
It finally seems to be happening. TV producers have cottoned on to a genre of show which is cheap to make and which people won't get bored of. Yes, hopefully the reality TV genre is going to die quietly, while...
tHE name Jason Manford may ring a bell, particularly if you know the Liverpool comedy circuity at all. He's a rather witty Manc who has become very popular in the city - and will probably repeat that nationwide thanks to...
THE problem with dramas, particularly ones which come in several parts, is that you have to stick with the first episode, not draw too much from it and just hope the hour you've invested in learning about the characters is...
