The Thick of It
BBC Comedy
You know when a series drafts in a writer just to handle the swearing that you’re in for a treat. Peter Capaldi is brilliant as Malcolm Tucker, the PM’s fierce Head of Spin and Chris Langham is brilliant as ineffectual minister Hugh Abbot. As is everyone else. For the first time in a long while you will actually feels sorry for an MP…

Spooks Season 5
BBC Drama
Meet the good men and ladies of M15 in this armrest-frayingly tense series - saving the country from national and international threats day-in-day-out and at massive personal risk. Brilliant stuff. And we all thought M15 was a massive organisation, but there’s only six of them! And they’ve only got one office! Amazing.

Whale Wars
Discovery
Now, we know what you’re thinking and it’s not that. Whales can’t carry weapons and don’t get into fights. They eat plankton for goodness sake. But they’re being hunted in Japanese waters and the brave/foolhardy souls of the Sea Shepherds have taken it upon themselves to do everything they can to stop the practice, even if it means getting into fights with ships much, much bigger than them.

Tribe
BBC Factual
Which tribe wouldn’t have Bruce Parry round for a cup of frog tea and a slice of ant cake? He’s such a nice bloke. Of course that doesn’t stop them snickering behind their hands while they think up mean things for him to do, usually involving a trip into crocodile infested waters in a hollowed out coconut with a handful of suspicious looking leaves in his hand…what a diamond geezer.

Life on Mars
BBC Drama
What would you do if you woke up in the seventies? Apart from trying to get people to understand why flares are wrong…Well, it helps if you’re a trained cop with the people skills to get along with the brilliantly shouty Gene Hunt. Wouldn’t be as easy if you worked in IT would it…?

Ugly Betty Season 2
US Drama
Everyone’s favourite aesthetically-challenged star is back in this charming series set in the nasty world of fashion, where beauty really is only skin-deep. Hooray for Betty for proving you can get on in the world even if you do have a face like a bag of spanners, a bulldog chewing a wasp, a burst sofa…you get the picture.
