Newest Review: ... to jump out of their mid five figure salaries and go for the big six . This years16 (now 13) are the usual gaggle of upper working-class middle manager clichés (straight from The Office sitcom!), complimented by a couple of public schoolboys and blue-collar grafters for Sir Alan to gleefully sneer and put down in the appraisal interviews for the series to come. The toffs never stand a chance. But it's the production team that picks the 16 and it's only the finger from SAS who can get rid of them.

Do not know why programme makers tend to lapse into German but there you go. Anyhoo, back to my review and in no particular order... 5: Knightmare. An absolute classic, this children's TV show seemed to end abruptly in the height of it's popularity. A team of competitors enter the magical dungeons with "Tregard", a wizened ...
