The Magicians
2x06 Episode 6 [season finale]
A spectacular end to a series full of fantastic magic. And, if you think back over it, including all guest acts and forfeits, there were a total of 84 tricks performed across the series. 84!

The Mentalist
4x12 My Bloody Valentine
[Watch it on Demand 5 from Friday 9th March. Probably.]

Pointless
6x04 (16/2/12 edition)
[Watch it (again) on iPlayer.]

Stella
1x05 Episode 5
1x06 Episode 6
Just as I was commenting (to myself, at least) about how well constructed Stella's plots actually were, it goes and does a standard groom-to-be-looks-like-he's-having-an-affair-but-is-actually-getting-secret-dance-lessons-for-the-wedding plot. But at least it does it as amusingly as ever.

But how on earth will any filmmaker follow the work of Nolan and company?
