Michelangelo The Poet, By Tube

La forza d’un bel viso a che mi sprona? C’altro non è c’al mondo mi diletti: ascender vivo fra gli spirti eletti per grazia tal, c’ogni altra par men buona. Se ben col fattor l’opra suo consuona, che colpa vuol giustizia ch’io n’aspetti, s’i’ amo, …

TV Troll: God Hates Us

Just a mini Troll this week, fans, as we’re addicted to the Big Brother (every damn day, 9pm C4) crackpipe and neglecting such things as eating, sleeping and, indeed, moving. Shahbaz hiding all the food was one of the funniest things we’ve ever seen, all …

BBC’s Wrong Guy Revealed

We reported last week that the BBC interviewed a cabbie instead of a business expert. Now it turns out that he wasn’t in fact a cabbie, but a BBC job applicant! Guy Goma was applying for a data support cleanser job at Television Centre, when …

TV Troll: Camp Overload

This week marks the start of the new Big Brother (Thur 9pm C4). We’re fairly sure this will split our readership (hello, Mrs Trellis of North Wales) right down the middle; BB is a love-it-or-hate-it proposition. TV Troll hated it until undergoing a Damascene conversion …

Korea Advice

The Fourth Korean Festival is due to kick off again this Saturday and as usual it’s a fantastic line up and yet again puts other events of a similar nature to shame by remaining FREE. Saturday at the Mean Fiddler you get the opportunity to …
