Game of Thrones – season two, episode two: The Night Lands

The violence and equal opportunity nudity count is at its usual high. But is it too much or just enough? Spoiler alert: Don’t read on unless you have watched the second episode of Game of Thrones season two: HBO, Sunday 8 April, 9pm ET; Sky Atlantic, Monday 9 April, 9pm BST. For the purposes of this blog we are also going to (hopefully) avoid book spoilers as well. Sarah Hughes’s episode one blog “I am not Ned Stark, I comprehend how this game is played” Indeed you do Tyrion. A slightly shaky begin saw Tyrion grant the schemers of small ...

Review: One Night; A Very British Holiday; Angels of Mersey

One Night is a low-key British version of Falling Down It takes some confidence to use the title One Night (BBC1), with its direct echoes of David Nicholls’ global bestselling book One Day. Even if the Hollywood spin-off motion picture was rather less successful. But One Night is no bitter-sweet rom-com. If anything, the first episode of this four-part drama to be screened throughout the week, most resembled a low-key British version of Joel Schumacher’s Falling Down. After a brief opening scene of a young boy handing in a gun at the local nick to establish that something really bad ...

James Corden states he was a castaway long before Desert Island Discs

Fame and loneliness led the Gavin & Stacey star to go out drinking every night James Corden was “so lost” at one point in his late 20s that his Gavin & Stacey co-stars, Ruth Jones and Rob Brydon, both told him to change his habits. The comic actor, who is starring in the West End’s record-breaking hit One Man, Two Guvnors, and who is heading to New York for the play’s opening on Broadway in spring, was out partying with strangers most nights of the week because he was lonely, the 33-year-old tells Kirsty Young when he is interviewed this ...

BBC Calls the Midwife for a second series

Hit Sunday night drama starring Jenny Agutter and Miranda Hart gets recommissioned after just two episodes The BBC has commissioned a second series of hit Sunday night drama Call the Midwife, which stars Jenny Agutter, Miranda Hart and Pam Ferris, after airing just two episodes. BBC1′s six-part drama, which grew its audience by 600,000 to average 8.6 million for its second installment on Sunday night, is based on the late Jennifer Worth’s trilogy of memoirs about life and midwifery in London’s East End in the 1950s.

TV matters: festive fixtures

Jools’s Annual Hootenanny is the nearest thing we have this day to an annual favourite such as Morecambe & Wise Allowing for changes of faces and shows, the British TV Christmas remains remarkably unchanged from the 1960s. Indeed, reruns of Morecambe & Wise achieve the peculiar cryogenic spectacle of the duo still dominating the festive schedules, even though they last performed together 27 years ago. However, the TV new year is as directionless as a midnight drunk stumbling home. Confident and consistent about what 25 December should see, executives have constantly revised their vision of 31 December.

TV highlights 15/07/2011: The Good Cook | Double Lesson | BBC Proms 2011 | Tim Marlow On Tracey Emin | Kinks Night | Dexter

| | | | | First Cut, the documentary strand for new directors, returns. Using accounts of real-life cases and other factual research, George Kay has made a film about the fictional story of David De Gale – performed as a monologue by Phil Davis. De Gale is a secondary school instructor who, with retirement in sight, loses it and attacks a pupil. Davis is excellent as a man under pressure who is finally pushed to the limit, while Kay keeps things suitably composed.

Rebecca Black joins Katy Perry in new vid

“Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” is the fifth single from Katy Perry’s 2010 album Teenage Dream, and so far the acompanying videos have featured aliens, giant anthropomorphic gummy bears, lots of heavy petting and, um, fireworks. Perry’s latest clip raises the bar considerably, featuring the debut performance by Perry’s alter-ego Kathy Beth Terry but also welcomes “Friday” expert Rebecca Black, the three members of Hanson, two stars from Glee, Corey Feldman and Debbie (Deborah?) Gibson to the party (not to mention several dozen extras as well as a copy of Just Dance for the Wii).

Bill Maher, Jane Lynch: Weiner roasting

Last night on Real Time with Bill Maher, the host brought out Jane Lynch to read transcriptions with him of the Facebook messages exchanged by Rep. Anthony Weiner and blackjack dealer Lisa Weiss. Big warning: Not suitable for work or young ears. But I have to say, really funny, and this may be one of the ideal performances Maher has given. His intonation and emphases suggest a man who’s really into his material. As for Lynch, she makes you forget Sue Sylvester and makes you all the more enthused for her upcoming Emmy hosting gig.

Bonnaroo: Woman dead at camp ground

Tragedy hit this weekend’s Bonnaroo festival today, as the festival’s organizers confirmed the death of a 32-year-old woman at the Manchester, Tennessee music event’s camp ground. The cause of death had not yet been determined. The woman—whose name has been withheld pending notification of her family, but has been identified as having lived in the Pittsburgh area—was found by her friends on Thursday night (June 9) at the camping area. It continues an uncomfortable trend of casualties at music festivals, especially at Bonnaroo.

Shania Twain on CMT Fall: ‘I Didn’t Hurt Myself’ (Video)

Shania Twain was not badly injured after tumbling at the CMT Awards Wednesday night. After the show, which aired from Nashville, the singer — and star of OWN docuseries Why Not? — posted a goofy video on her Web site explaining her fall. “I’m just trying to get all this adrenaline out because I just made a complete fool of myself and experienced one of life’s most humiliating moments, and I’ve lived through that!” Twain — who tripped while presenting Male Video of the Year to Blake Shelton — stated while laughing after the show.
