  Our lovely Katie has the magic touch. She only has to mention she's having a bit of a Groundhog Day and lo! There it is. If the phrase hadn't already been in the popular consciousness (at least in North America) then this iconic movie would have put it there and indeed, it has managed to sway the meaning away from the original towards "one of

I'm sure I'll be able to work some Sky+ magic, but one newcomer in my TV scheduling is causing a new headache, for Channel 4 have the intriguingly named America's Deadliest Prison Gang on at 10.30pm. The Radio Times, in their infinite wisdom, have labelled it documentary of the week',

  I've realised that I've been wasting my time reviewing rubbish programmes when I could have been telling you all how great Empire's Children is (Channel 4, Monday, 9pm). In the last episode, I watch Jenny Eclair have a near nervous breakdown in Malaysia and undergo an incredibly fascinating journey into her, and the British Empire's, past. So,

It's been away from our TV screens here in Blighty for 18 months now, and finally fans will get to see what happened to their favourite single mum, Nancy, after sleeping with an agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration. This plot is said to

  Rick Stein loves his food. He especially likes fish. I often find myself torn when watching Stein. I veer from thinking that he's a lovable old uncle who should be viewed whilst drinking cocoa... that or he's a twee bugger who needs some life slapping into him. Thankfully, I prefer to enjoy his little food adventures rather than wave an angry fist

  Even though it annoys the hell out of me when imported shows have a Christmas edition in the middle of summer over here, that shouldn't stop you watching a Yule filled My Name Is Earl (Channel 4, Thursday, 10pm).
