The Great British Sewing Bee is hanging by a thread |
|
|
I've had it with TV obsession with the "Great British" hobby shows. Whether it's Bake Off, Sewing Bee or a Pottery Throwdown, they're boring, repetitive and, frankly, old fashioned. Time to employ a new format, if you ask me. After watching the first episode of the new series of The Great British Sewing Bee, TV critic Emily Watkins agrees. "TV is awash with stimulating competition and human interest, but neither can be found here," she writes. "Sewing Bee's primary function is to be soothing but it ends up more soporific."

Pick of the day: Strike: Inside the Unions 9pm, BBC Two Chosen by Gerard Gilbert Sympathise with his cause or not, Mick Lynch, the leader of the the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT), has been impressive in the way he has calmly dealt with the often-hostile questioning and assumptions of media interviewers. Alongside Pat Cullen from the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), Lynch is a contributor to this new series about the wave of industrial action that engulfed the UK at the end of 2022. The opening edition charts the start of the strikes, with Lynch and the RMT at the forefront of the movement, and nurses withdrawing their labour for the first time in the RCN's 106-year history.

Arnold Schwarzenegger as Luke Brunner (Photo: Christos Kalohoridis/Netflix) |
FUBAR Netflix Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the most famous people on the planet, but somehow, he's never starred in a TV show. His debut is an action romp (naturally), in which he plays Luke, a CIA operative who is forced to delay his retirement plans to investigate one last case. The catch? His own daughter Emma (Monica Barbaro, Top Gun: Maverick) has secretly followed in his footsteps and has also been assigned to the mission. And if you're wondering what "FUBAR" means, I suggest you Google it... Click here to read our review and click here to watch. |

Don't be surprised if you hate the Succession finale It's almost upon us. The big one. On Monday we'll settle in — some when it first streams online at 2am, others at 9pm when it's on TV — to find out what happens in the last ever episode of Succession. After four extraordinary series of "fuck offs", baffling business deals and some of the most spectacular dialogue to ever grace television, it's hard to believe it's finally here. But don't expect a satisfying end. There are endless loose pieces of string that creator Jesse Armstrong (who has written the last episode) is expected to tie in a neat little bow in the show's finale. Top of the pile is the question of the sale of Waystar Royco to the egotistical and overly sportive Swede Lukas Matsson. Kendall and Roman are outwardly supportive of the deal, but doing everything they can to scupper it (including ensuring far-right politician Jeryd Mencken is elected as president), while Shiv wants to push the deal through as she believes Matsson will make her the American CEO. There's also the matter of the paused PGN deal, in which the Roy siblings — now divided — offered Nan Pierce $10bn (just over £8bn) for her rival news company. And what about Shiv's pregnancy? Her rocky relationship with estranged husband Tom Wambsgans? Greg's inheritance? How will the ATN decision to call the election early play out for the wider company? Will Gerri get her payout? Will Ebba expose Matsson's frozen blood packages? Who — and this is the big one — will end up as Waystar CEO? Click here to continue reading. |
