Mad Men

I love Mad Men. Now, I know everyone's saying that right now. It's very zeitgeisty to plan your wardrobe or your interior design around it, but as far as I can tell not that many people actually watch it. Those that do have come in late and my series one and two dvds are proving a very popular loan at the office. Look everybody - there's a well-dressed bandwagon, let's jump on it!

I'm pleased to say I've been there since day one and, for me, it's just getting better and better. Episodes 6-9 of series four are beyond words fantastic. As far as working on a TV show is concerned, Mad Men is the dream...

The Little House (ITV)

It seems to be ITVs 'Freaky Family' season, after last month's remake of Bouquet of Barbed Wire, and now The Little House. Written by Ed Whitmore (Identity, Silent Witness, Waking the Dead) it tells of a young mother’s experience as her mother in law muscles in on her life and her newborn baby. Suitable eerie and atmospheric, it is good but not great. There’s nothing that raises it above the other dramas out there. Not a bad thing, but I’m not on the edge of my seat for episode two. Perhaps I’d be in more suspense if the audience was left in doubt as to whether the main character’s paranoia is the result of mental illness or of the mother-in-law’s Machiavellian tendencies. I won’t tell you which it is, just in case you haven’t sussed it yet. Clue: watch the trailer. It’s not subtle.
