Summer TV Blog

OK forget the weather, summer must officially be here because all the good shows have disappeared off our tv’s to make way for festival coverage and reality shows!!!

Now I don’t mind the occasional dose of this type of show but my TV viewing of choice would have to be well written drama’s, sci-fi and comedy - and there ain’t much of that about!!

I’m planning on watching a new show on BBC1 tonight at 9pm called Bonekickers, it’s about a bunch of archaeologist’s which sounds a bit dull, but the trailers looked good.

I’ve also noticed The Long Way Round - which follows the adventures of Charley Boorman and Ewan McGregor as they bike from London to New York - is being repeated on BBC2, Sunday at 9pm. I really enjoyed this the first time round so it’s probably worth another go, I’d definitely recommend it if you haven’t seen it before.  When are they going to bring out a new show - Long Way Up or Long Way Across or Charlie Does Wheelies Special?

One more  thing to keep me going through the summer will be that great sci-fi show the  X-Files.  Okay it’s not on TV, it’s the big summer blockbuster movie called ‘I Want to Believe‘ is coming out on  1 August. Mulder and Sculley may be older but are they any wiser - take a look at the trailer, doesn’t that theme tune send tingles down your spine?  Maybe I’ll just keep going weekly until Heroes returns….!
