Since Game Of Thrones – or GoT as all the uncool kids are calling it – is the most talked-about TV show of the moment, with catch-up guides in every newspaper for those losers who haven’t been watching it from the start (we’re at Season Three for heaven’s sake – do you really have to wait for the broadsheets’ permission?), I have to confess that I’m not reviewing Game Of Thrones on this week’s Telly Addict, because, when I wrote and filmed it yesterday afternoon, the first episode hadn’t aired. (I review, not preview, as previously established.) But we do have the jolly return of Doctor Who on BBC1; Paul Hollywood’s Beard/Bread on BBC2; the latest sci-fi saga from the JJ Abrams universe, Revolution on Sky 1; an update on Broadchurch on ITV; a warm welcome for the regeneration of Foyle’s War on ITV; and a sneak preview of The Village on BBC1.
I have now, of course, watched the first episode of GoT, and it really is not for the latecomer. That’s all I’ll say. Full review next week.
Never Knowingly Underwhelmed 
i know this request is a drop in the Grauniad ocean.
But can you make this video a preview instead of a review?
I’ve missed the 1st episode of so many shows after seeing your review!
No, is the simple answer. The newspapers are full of previews. My brief is to chat about what’s been on, so that others can share their thoughts – thus, it’s inclusive. A preview is prescriptive; Telly Addict is reactive. (Once you get into previews, you’re locked in a PR world. The idea of talking about a show after it’s been on is more democratic.)
any chance of a heads up (on twitter?) of what you’ll be reviewing next?
not complaining, but I don’t get to watch a lot of telly so don’t see most of the show yout review.
Next week: easy, it’s Game Of Thrones on Sky Atlantic and The Village, on BBC1. I may do the season finale of The Walking Dead on Fox, too. And possibly the next Doctor Who.
