Cop/Detective - DCI Banks
DCI Banks, ITV1, review by Gerard O'Donovan 10 Oct 2012 (Reviewing the first episode of the new series of DCI Banks). "There was one standout moment in tonight’s opening episode of a new series of DCI Banks (ITV1) when Stephen Tompkinson, in the role of North Yorkshire major crimes detective Alan Banks, called round to his wealthy brother’s house and found a Porsche 911 in the garage. Slipping into the leathery embrace of the driver’s seat Banks forgot himself for a moment, gripped the steering wheel and emitted a low, throaty growl"........ Link for rest of review.

Sci-Fi
Stargate: Universe
Guardian - Anna Pickard Review
"You're probably aware of Stargate. There are several films, TV series, animated series, novels – you might have watched and read them all. Or you might just have watched them go by in the distance and thought they probably weren't for you. As with a lot of genre TV, people who like it tend to really, really, like it – while people who haven't ever sat and watched anything branded "Stargate" will assume they're too late to the party to bother and not watch it...."
Star Trek - The Next Generation
Phelim O'Neill review - Guardian
"It was a show that few predicted would last one season, let alone seven. Trying to recapture the glory of a long cancelled sci-fi series from the 60s seemed like hubris; replacing William Shatner's virile Captain Kirk with balding, 47-year-old Yorkshire man Patrick Stewart, described by the LA Times as an "unknown British Shakespearean actor" appeared sheer insanity. But, after a few shaky seasons of variable quality, it worked, equalling the bottled lightning of the original and in many ways surpassing it"
