Last night I watched the first ep of #BluePlanetIII on @BBCOne with David Attenborough. Such a joy this is back after 9 years & we’re back in the water for sharks that fish on the beach, dolphins using sponges & harlequin shrimps stealing a starfish limb! Utterly wonderful! 8/10

Last night I watched the first ep of #Yaga on @skytv (from 🇨🇦) with Carrie-Anne Moss. It’s witchy from the off then we get into a wealthy kid’s disappearance whose roommate looks identical (same actor, pet peeve). It’s off-kilter from the off, quirky characters & the occult! 6/10

Last night I watched #BeatLukeLittler on @NetflixUK with Gary Lineker. 20 decent/non-professional darts players have the chance over just one leg to beat the ‘Nuke’ for £501,000: show ends if the money’s won. Not the biggest darts fan but it was super exciting/nerve-racking! 7/10

Last night I watched the first ep of #NewComedyAwards on @bbcthree with Lindsey Santoro (host) & Amy Gledhill (head judge). Always a great way to see rising funny talent a year before they are all over the panel shows, this time starting in Coventry. Totally knew the winner! 7/10

Last night I watched the first ep of #TheFWard on @Channel4 with Anna Friel & the adorable Ioane Sa'ula. We’re at Pines Hospital (the ‘F’ stands for fuck-up) where medical interns go when they’ve one last chance to avoid getting kicked off the program!l (puking in patients)! 7/10

Last night I (finally) watched #10DaysInChina on @BBCTwo as Wham toured in 1985. They were the first major Western pop act to play there starting at Beijing's Workers' Gymnasium on. The whole thing was filmed but never saw the light of day… until now! Pure time capsule joy! 8/10

Last night I watched the first ep of #raceacrosstheworld (celeb) on @BBCOne with Sam Ryder, Ella Eyre, Jeff Stelling and Princess & Junior Andre (so their parents’ kids) . With £26 a day they all need to travel 7500km from Borneo to Melbourne. A cat picks Sam’s first route! 8/10

Last night I watched the first ep of #CrewGirl on @NetflixUK with Miku Martineau. Doing for rowing what Heated Rivalry did for ice hockey minus the man-on-man shower scenes. Teagan’s dad’s on the run so she relocates with mum but the school only has a boy’s team: awkward! 6/10

Last night I watched the first ep of #ThisCityIsOurs series 2 on @BBCOne with James Nelson-Joyce. We start in Liverpool (after Ricardo’s hit & run that ended S1) and Spain (tracking down Davy’s rotting body). Michael is pulled back in as the threats increase! Tense as hell! 8/10

Last night I watched the first ep of #Adultery on @ITV with Dominic Cooper. What happens when two families are drawn together because their kids are dating & then two of the parents fall for each other, the meet-cute happening over a bike accident? Safe & clunky & need more! 6/10

Last night I watched the first ep of #SloPitch on @skytv from Karen Knox via 🇨🇦 (@CraveCanada). Based on a web series, the Brovaries are a (mostly) LGBTQ+ softball team who decide to actually make an effort as the coach’s ex is running a rival team (& might be dating a guy)! 6/10

Last night I watched the first ep of #ItGetsWorse on @Channel4 from/starring Leo Reich. Three 20-somethings need a new flat (after repairing a wall) but their lives are falling apart with them needing temporary stays (& Ethan crosses a line with a therapist). Outrageous fun! 8/10

Last night I watched #TheExperiment on @Channel4 with Sophie Morgan/Mat Fraser. Starts with archive footage of Hitler demonising disabled people before we see Segrilife; a fake facility full of actors modernising Nazi ideas to see how visitors react. Provocatively chilling! 7/10

Last night I watched the first ep of #KitchenNightmaresUSA season 10 on @Channel4 with Gordon Ramsay. Last series was a build-up to the Super Bowl, this time is focussed on restaurants in the Midwest starting at an Indiana steakhouse. Shouting, cooking, swearing, makeovers! 8/10

Last night I watched the first ep of #CrystalLake on @peacock with Linda Cardellini. It’s a prequel to the Friday The 13th movies with Linda as Jason’s mum and the events that lead up to his disappearance. Very bloody & very 80s-looking (ratio/titles) but not very gripping! 7/10

Last night I watched #Exposure #AYearInReform on @ITV (after seeing clips all week). The number of people who held disgusting views in just a 12 month period is mind boggling & the snippets don’t do the full documentary justice. The beginning of the end? Possibly. Hopefully! 7/10

Last night I watched the first ep of #Time back on @BBCOne from Jimmy McGovern. In a young offenders prison for this 3-parter with David Tennant leading (Siobhan Finneran the DNA linking all 3 series). Unbearably tense from the off and so much heartache by 60 mins: must-see! 9/10

Last night I watched the first ep of #TheLastLeg back on @Channel4 for series 35 with Adam/Alex/Josh. A look at the week’s news with guests (Tim Minchin/Ellie Taylor) + searching for a new Burnham lookalike. Slicker with less talking over each other & minimal #Strictly chat! 7/10

Last night I watched the new (first?) special #HungryHornyScared on @skytv from Paddy Young. Already smashing Weekend Update for #SNLUK it’s my 1st time seeing his stand-up (want to see him live). Super funny with a delivery I’ve not seen before. And sexy. With added walrus! 8/10

Last night I watched the first ep of #TheSplitUp on @BBCOne with Ritu Arya (spin-off from #TheSplit). We’ve gone from London to Manchester but it’s still a family law firm as nuptials get derailed when the cheat’s employed. Wasn’t a fan of the original and nothing’s changed! 6/10
