Shouting at the Telly: June 2009
http://shoutingatthetelly.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Shouting at the Telly. Monday, 22 June 2009. Sarky cuties Sue Perkins and Giles Coren took a colourful gallop through medieval dining in the latest in their fun but slightly inchoherent series Supersizers. In the pointless medical at the beginning, moody Sue is diagnosed as melancholic, and famously easy to rile Giles is diagnosed as choleric. Sub-editors round the country may have high-fived at that point. Posted by John Grindrod. Sunday, 21 June 2009. BBC1 on a Sunday. Hope Springs. Thinks it's an outr...

Shouting at the Telly. Monday, 15 March 2010. Good evening my honeys. There's been a hiatus on this blog because I've wanted to write about other things. So I've finally decided to create a new blog, where I write about all of the things I'm interested in, including the telly machine. Its called Dirty Modern Scoundrel and it's here. I shan't be updating this blog any more, but there will be plenty of TV based shenanigins on t'other place once I get my arse in gear. Posted by John Grindrod. A book of hear...

Shouting at the Telly: April 2009
http://shoutingatthetelly.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Shouting at the Telly. Wednesday, 29 April 2009. Hero Corner No.2: Alvin Hall. Alvin Hall. My most favouritist ever expert on TV. A man of great kindness, warmth, wit, camp, intelligence and bow ties. So much more inspiring than that mumsy idiot and her psychotic, sadistic android sidekick from Spendaholics. So why isn't he on TV more these days? Posted by John Grindrod. Dem bones, dem bones, gonna walk around. She said at one point, eyes closed and boiling in frustration as only The Mountford can. A...

Shouting at the Telly: American Life
http://shoutingatthetelly.blogspot.com/2010/01/american-life.html
Shouting at the Telly. Monday, 11 January 2010. As you might suspect from the title, Glee. Is pretty happy with itself. It's caught in the same smugly camp cartoon irony mode as Desperate Housewives. Though so far with no signs of the tedious overcomplications of the former or the unchanging format of the latter. But it shares their black humour and reliance on grotesque female monsters to drive the plot. And The Royal Tenenbaums. Website under a piece about the show a few weeks back – it's like it...

Shouting at the Telly: October 2009
http://shoutingatthetelly.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Shouting at the Telly. Friday, 30 October 2009. Chatting up a storm. Here's me on the Blackwell's podcast, doing a bit of shouting at the telly. Posted by John Grindrod. Sunday, 25 October 2009. I was a bit surprised they were stringing out Emma. Over four episodes. Unlike the rumbustious plot of Pride and Prejudice. The story of Emma. Remains my favourite adaptation of Emma. Of course, I cried at the end (Michael Gambon having much the same effect on me as Bernard Cribbins had in Doctor Who. This series...

Shouting at the Telly: The Power of Ten
http://shoutingatthetelly.blogspot.com/2010/01/power-of-ten.html
Shouting at the Telly. Sunday, 3 January 2010. The Power of Ten. David Tennant, eh? Blink and you'd have still seen him. For ages. Even narcolepsy wouldn't have blanked him out. He's been on TV more than John Barrowman for once, which is in itself a miracle. Still, no-one watched his Hamlet. On Boxing Day, so the UK yule wasn't an entirely Tennant-based affair. Five hours of Shakespeare was probably not ideal viewing in the family-wrecked aftermath of Christmas. Posted by John Grindrod. But I ironically ...
