TV

Alexander Armstrong's Big Ask
2x02 Episode 2
Missed episode one. That's what happens with stuff on Dave. I imagine it'll be on again...

Anna & Katy
1x01 Episode 1
[Watch it (again) on 4oD.]

Broadchurch
Part 1 (of 8)
ITV's much-lauded new thriller. Solid start, clearly plenty of untugged threads to fill the remaining seven episodes.
[Watch it (again) on ITV Player.]

Featuring...

Judge Dredd Day of Chaos: Tea For Two by John Wagner & Edmund Bagwell
Flesh Midnight Cowboys, Part Twelve by Pat Mills & James McKay
Durham Red The 'Nobody Wants This Job' Job, Part 1 by Alan Grant & Carlos Ezquerra
Grey Area One of Our Own, Part 1 by Dan Abnett & Lee Carter
Cadet Anderson: Psi-Division Algol, Part Six by Alan Grant & Steve Yeowell

Flesh limps to an end... well, an 'end', because it's all a big setup for the next arc. Can't say as I care. Cadet Anderson also goes away, taking Yeowell's sketches with it. Durham Red is set in the character's past, taking a really dangerous job. Might she die then?! In her past? Oh, the palpable lack of tension.

Dredd was a nice aside and Grey Area still has promise though, so there's that.
