Ashes to Ashes
2x02 Episode Two
Another highly entertaining -- and, actually, increasingly thoughtful -- episode of Ashes. They're handling the corruption plot very well so far, and it seems a sensible move not to have dragged out the "is Gene corrupt?" storyline for too long.

2x10 Uh-Oh, Out Come the Skeletons
The muddled plot muddles on. Will it ever get genuinely good again? Hopefully this season can resolve all the ongoing bollocks and start afresh next year.

An anti-domestic violence advert starring Keira Knightley has been banned from television after being deemed too shocking for audiences.
The Women's Aid commercial, which has already been aired on YouTube and in cinemas, shows the actress being accused of having an affair, before she is thrown to the ground and repeatedly kicked by her boyfriend.
However, Clearcast, the body that censors adverts for Ofcom, has ruled that the promo cannot be aired unless the violent scenes are removed.
