It's Not An Idiot Box: July 2007
http://notanidiotbox.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
It's Not An Idiot Box. Arguing the importance of good television. Tuesday, 10 July 2007. It appears that there is a bit of a surge of new dramas on our television screens, the new one on More 4 with Chandler out of Friends will be starting soon, everyone's been harping on about 'Dexter' with Michael C Hall as a charming likeable serial killer (I'm hoping for an everyday television version of Chopper) and tonight (after Big Brother) began 'Cape Wrath'. Friday, 6 July 2007. Now, we've got the Polish builde...

It's Not An Idiot Box: August 2008
http://notanidiotbox.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
It's Not An Idiot Box. Arguing the importance of good television. Thursday, 28 August 2008. I had initially given myself a set of rules, a guideline of what would be valid on this blog, or at least, I had imposed on myself one particular rule, that I would stick only to television programmes I watch on television. However, I've had to ignore that rule, if only in favour of cool points. Instead, tonight, I took to watching 'Generation Kill' written by David Simon and starring our friend Ziggy from The Wir...

It's Not An Idiot Box: June 2008

It's Not An Idiot Box. Arguing the importance of good television. Tuesday, 24 June 2008. Labels: beauty and the geek. I couldn't have two posts in a row referring to the disgraceful behvaiour of people and their televisual experiences so, here's post number two of the day, all about my favourite ever reality show (for the good reasons, not the 'it's so bad it's funny' reasons I went for with 'rock of love' below) 'BEAUTY AND THE GEEK'. I'll go into that later.). An astrophysicist (probably), a who who en...

It's Not An Idiot Box. Arguing the importance of good television. Thursday, 29 May 2008. Monday, 26 May 2008. Late Night Discover y. Channel hopping on a lonely Monday night, the flatmates are sensibly tucked away, one worked all evening, the other works tomorrow and I mostly unemployed have just discovered that 'Due South' is back on our screens. ITV3 to be precise and there's more than one episode showing! Although, was it ITV3 that brought back Quantum Leap? Letter to Gok Wan. How to look good naked.

It's Not An Idiot Box: February 2009

It's Not An Idiot Box. Arguing the importance of good television. Monday, 16 February 2009. That's right, I said it, I hate him perhaps more than I hate Clarkson. Why? Why do people complain about such inoffensive things. I'll tell you what is offensive, it's Richard Hammond overexpressing with his mouth and his cheeks and his eyes and his voice. Why stretch your words out like that Hammond? Why stretch your mouth as you do it? Why is he suddenly some sort of engineer? It just doesn't make any sense, and...

It's Not An Idiot Box: Stewart Lee
http://notanidiotbox.blogspot.com/2009/03/stewart-lee.html
It's Not An Idiot Box. Arguing the importance of good television. Monday, 16 March 2009. I will not say much except this:. Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle - Monday, 10pm, BBC2. Tonight was the first one, it was about books, iplayer it, it was good. If I were to write about it, I would just be retelling hilarious jokes completely unhilariously. I wonder, what's the point in writing anything here when I've nothing to complain about? This is terribly written I know, I'm too lazy to try harder, I give up, I fee...

It's Not An Idiot Box: October 2008
http://notanidiotbox.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
It's Not An Idiot Box. Arguing the importance of good television. Thursday, 30 October 2008. Dead Set 3 and 4. The police seemed to be carrying enormous machine gun things which seemed completely ridiculous. Do the police even carry guns in this country? I know there are special armed police - aren't they the ones who drive red cars? Isn't that the rule? Or is it just an urban myth? I'm still enjoying it though, just about. I was a little miffed by last night's uninspiring ending, it all seemed a bit...

It's Not An Idiot Box. Arguing the importance of good television. Thursday, 17 May 2007. I have a confession to make; I couldn't handle it. All week I saw the adverts for Channel 4's 'Embarassing Illnesses' a new programme about a clinic whereby people unafraid to step up and recognise that they've got piles, or dodgy nipples or whatever else can find treatment, safely, unashamedly and on prime time terrestrial television. Oh nooh no no no. But, see, I have a problem. I feel that television goes unde...

It's Not An Idiot Box: January 2009
http://notanidiotbox.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
It's Not An Idiot Box. Arguing the importance of good television. Tuesday, 27 January 2009. In a post about adverts I pledge NOT to refer to anything created by a particular brand of chocolate. You know the one.I just don't care. It does everything to a formula scrapped in the eighties and I love it, I love it most for the kid at the end: "Hey, my computer's fast.finally! In fact.watch it:. Thursday, 22 January 2009. It's hilarious and ridiculous in the way the Inbetweeners was only this time it's straig...
