So, what's HOT this winter?
Well...
We're currently pretty obsessed with the BBC sitcom Outnumbered, which is just wonderfully funny. Superb cast and wnderful writing. Not to be missed - and ideal for all the family! A first series has just been commissioned by the BBC, who know they are on to a good thing!
There was a really entralling film on Sky Movies called Hereafter, featuring three strands of a story about life after death experiences. Recommended! Also, if you haven't seen it, don't miss Despicable Me!
On Twitter, Milton Jones, Jack Dee, Jimmy Carr, Adrian Edmondson, Nino Firetto, and Steve Death have been making us laugh. While Julian Clary's insights into Plymouth where he is in panto have been lots of fun. Also, Ant & Dec have been a great addition to Twitter, as entertaining as ever.
Muscially, Adele seems to be everywhere still and must surely clean up at the forthcoming Brit Awards. This week saw a rejuvenated Madonna return to the spotlight in the UK with a guest star spot on The Graham Norton Show.
In the realms of sci-fi & fantasy, an advance trailer for December's The Hobbit has been released, and we are looking forward to seeing Edgar Rice Burrrough's John Carter Of Mars in 2012. Karen Gillan's Amy pond looks set to leave Doctor Who in the 2012 series, with rumours of something special for the show's 50th anniversary looming - possibly a multiple Doctor story. Terra Nova on Sky One looks like it might have legs, although Fringe appears to have lost it's way a bit.
Drama-wise, Treasure Island was great, with Eddie Izzard hinting at a follow up as Long John Silver. Also, the second series of the new Hawaii Five 0 is now underway on Sky One. Look out again for the comedy legal drama Franklin & Bash.
So plenty to get everyone through the winter months and to look forward to in 2012!
