Red Dwarf XI: episode 2 - Samsara review
The latest episode of the sci-fi sitcom is a treat for fans of the original series, as well as dealing with what appears to be a major development in Series XI - the increasing prominence of The Cat (Danny John-Jules) as a major character.

It has been a strong start to the series and hopefully the rest of Series XI will continue in the same vein.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 22nd September 2016Review: Dara O Briain's Go 8 Bit
The comedians may be the centre of the show, especially O Briain who seems to be conquering the market in geeky programming after hosting Robot Wars (at his current rate I was surprised he didn't get The Crystal Maze too), but of the regulars my personal favourite was Gibson, with her expert knowledge of games and wonderful wit.

While there were some laughs, especially in the phone box scenes in which lines get crossed, the episode did feel at times rather pedestrian. You get the feeling that of all the episodes the BBC could have picked to remake, this was one of the lesser ones.

The final episode in this series witnesses the Taskmaster trophy finally presented, and a horror film starring, yes, a potato.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 19th July 2016My experience of doing Bleak Expectations on Mastermind
One aspect I am particularly fond of is that what with Bleak Expectations being a rather surreal comedy, about 19th century industrialist Sir Philip Bin, the inventor of the bin, foiling the schemes of his ironically named twice undead evil ex-guardian Mr. Gently Benevolent, there was that pleasing satisfaction of hearing host John Humphrys reading out some strange questions. It is safe to say that no-one else will be tackling questions on dogs called Countdown that can only understand anagrams, or civil wars in Russia about the spelling of the word Tsar/Czar.

In the penultimate episode of the series we witness a hostage taking, fruit hiding and vegetable constructing.

In this week's episode of Taskmaster we see artistic silhouettes, a huge number of Calippos, and the return of old friends.

On this week's episode of the comedy challenge show, we watch some disturbing music videos, horrible culinary habits, and learn that Joe Wilkinson looks like a battered toaster.

Taskmaster is great at displaying people's laterial thinking.
