Devoted to TV

After watching 6Degrees and London Irish I’ve become a fan of Irish TV shows. Made all the better if they are set in my favourite decade, the 90’s. So I felt it a must that I watch Derry Girls, an Irish comedy set in the 90's. We meet the characters in 1994 in LondonDerry, Northern Ireland during The Troubles and see how life carries on in amongst all of that for one group of teenagers (Erin, Orla, Claire, Michelle and James). We see the gang getting on with normal life, from getting on the school bus and feeling as though you have the right to sit at the back purely because your older in age than the people currently sitting there, or having difficulty keeping your cool in front of a boy you really fancy, Derry Girls proved all teenagers deal with the same issues and dramas no matter what's going on around them. With some absolute cracking one liners such as "I’m not being an individual on me own” and "that's the English for ya, fucking savages!". A

It's that time of the year again when all the Christmas specials are back on the box. I for one love watching them all, especially the ones from the 90's (let's be honest it was a simpler time) as I can remember them being on first time round. So let's all reminisce together as I go through my top ten favourite Christmas TV specials. Vicar of Dibley - The Christmas Lunch Incident (1996)  Going all the way back to 1996 with this Christmas special from The Vicar of Dibley. Poor Geraldine, still being quite new to the village, ends up agreeing to go to four different Christmas Day dinners. Much humour ensues when we see Geraldine tackling all four Christmas meals which ends up with her crawling through the village as she's unable to walk from being so full. As always with this show it's bonkers but fun, and therefore a must watch at Christmas. Special mention - I was struggling to pick between this Christmas special and the one from 1999 called Winter which i

It's that time of year again to get out the films that we only watch once a year (for most of us anyway!) but it's actually a good thing as it means we never really tire of watching them! So here we go with my top 10 Christmas film list:

When I saw the trailer for this programme and heard it was a new Kay mellow drama, I was thrilled. From Playing The Field to Fat Friends to The Syndicate, I've been a big fan of Kay mellor since the 90's so couldn't wait to see what was in store in her new drama Love, Lies and Records. *Please be aware that this review contains spoilers from the episode.

I’m starting to feel a little bit bereft. All of the dramas I've been watching lately are coming to an end; first Dr foster, then Liar and now cold feet. *Please be aware that this review contains spoilers. This week's finale started off with us seeing Adam admitting to Tina about having slept with colleague and wife of the guy Tina had an affair with in series one, Sarah.

Sadly we have seen the final episode, possibly ever, of the great W1A. *Please be aware that this review contains spoilers. I still don't think I'm quite over Anna walking into that glass wall in episode 4 and her following concussion making her talk utter gibberish. Now that's slapstick comedy that's been done 10 times over and then some, but it came absolutely out of nowhere and made me howl with laughter for a good ten minutes. This is one of the main reasons I think I have completely fallen in love with this show (to my dismay I'm relatively new to the show and never watched Twenty Twelve which I genuinely hope to catch up on someday) is that the comedy seemingly comes out of nowhere and is somehow always a surprise - yes you expect the constant "sure, yes, great, love it, totally" comments but yet that still manages to be funny week on week.
