So can I start by asking, why do you want to read this blog? Sorry, I just went into interviewer autopilot then. Yes, the factual entertainment show The Job Interview returned for a second series this week. In each episode we meet hopeful candidates as they are grilled for jobs with companies such as Virgin […]
Read More →We love a good opening ceremony here at Shouting at the Telly (as you can see from our review of the opening of the Rio games back in 2016), but Winter Olympic opening ceremonies are usually better as they are madder. I think this is because the sports and the people who play them are […]
Read More →I have a confession to make. I love assembling flat pack furniture. OK, I know it’s a bit weird, but I love getting the bits of wood out of the brown boxes; I love the assembly diagrams and I especially love the Allen keys. Infact I have never thrown an Allen key out and my […]

Read More →Who knew that Pro-Am painting was not only a thing, but actually a spectator sport? This is exactly what Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year 2018 is and it returned for its 4th series this week. If you thought the Bake Off was middle class, then this will blow your John Lewis socks off. […]

That statement may sound as misogynist as the first line, but the subject of women in comedy has been the subject of books, TV documentaries and University dissertations. Comedy is […]
Read More →Dancing on Ice is back on our screen (or ”Strictly with the risk of concussion” as it is more accurately known). For nearly a decade it ran as the second most dangerous celeb reality show (The Jump being the daddy of shows that left celebs permanently damaged). It ended when Torvill and Dean decided that […]
