Disadvantages: lots of depth can be hard to understand

The Guardian must be one of our most comprehenive and intelligent newspapers, although it's quite expensive. It dosen't just concentrate on endless showbiz gossip and what's going on in all the soaps like some others.

I always enjoy the Media Guardian every Monday because it contains one of the best jobs supplement in the country, whwere you'll find advertisements for positions in television, newspapers, magazines and radio stations.
If you enjoy cinema and television, The Friday Review is your best bet. All the reviews are detailed and well written and they don't just like subtitled and "arty" films. There's been good articles on British sitcoms, animation and Holywood action films.

On Saturday, the Weekend Guardian comes out with a usually very good colour supplement and a very useful pocket sized guide to the week's television, film releases, computer games, new technology and trendiest clubs. It's also got a very witty but extremely insulting singles review column. My only minor complaint about this guide is that it concentrates a bit too much on London. There are other towns and cities in the U.K.

Throughout the week, the television reviews by Nancy-Banks Smith are always witty and you can tell that she really enjoys good populasr television, unlike some snobby reviewers. The cartoons by Steve Bell are funny but thought provoking but am I alone in thinking that Doonesbury is the most unfunny, pretentious and boring newspaper strip on earth.

I can certainly recommend the Guardian as it seems to be totally unlike most newspapers and is almost always a good read. It's critical of all the major political parties, campaigns on important issues but has a good sense of humour. But I'd advise you to avoid it if you a big fan of the Daily Mail, you might find some of the views offensive.
