Something For The Weekend (Series)

And here comes another 'breaking the magician's code' TV show review...having worked on the show before hopefully it'll give a slightly different insight to the one you're more familiar with. This is the Sunday morning magazine show Something For The Weekend. It's hard to pigeon-hole this show, which is partly a reason for it's continued success - it contains cooking, chatting to celebrities and general entertainment, and is certainly one of the best things on television at that time of the morning if you have no interest whatsoever in Andrew Marr or Hollyoaks. Broadcast between 10 and 11.30am each Sunday of BBC Two, Something For The Weekend is ...  Read the complete review

There's something strange about Something for the Weekend. Essentially it is a morning magazine programme in the vein of This Morning. You have two presenters (Tim Lovejoy and Amanda Hamilton) and two celebrity guests all interespersed by a chef (Simon Rimmer) cooking a 3 course meal and a brunch dish, a cocktail expert, a gadgets expert and some clips from the week's programme. That's all fine but does not explain why everyone loves this show! I think its fantastic and really look forward to a lazy Sunday morning watching it, but the strange thing is so does my boyfriend. When I talk to people at work about it, they all (men, women, all ages) think its ...  Read the complete review

Sunday morning tv has been transformed. No longer are the mornings filled with childrens tv programmes. Now there is a great tv show that all the family can watch. It is currently aired on BBC2 starting at 10am with chef Simon Rimmer. There are also celebrities invited on that vary each week.

I find that it is a great way to start the day, be it after a heavy Saturday evening or not, it is quite inspiring and laid back to watch and gets your taste buds ...  Read the complete review

Something for the Weekend is a Sunday ritual in our household now, we first discovered this show one Sunday morning when we were up early and looking for something to watch whilst having a breakfast and deciding what to do that day. My partner and I love cooking and cookery shows but not anything too stuffy or formal, Something for the Weekend is perfect as it's so relaxed and informal, they create some wonderfully easy to make but delicious looking dishes each week that absolutely anyone could recreate in their own kitchen, which of course is the whole point. The three presenters have a great sense of fun and often joke around with the ...  Read the complete review

Being a huge fan Hollyoaks fan, I started to get bored of the far fetched story lines so I turned over and stumbled upon something for the weekend and I am now hooked this is a refreshing programme to watch on a sunday morning compared to Match of the Day, Country File or Heaven and Earth. On BB2 on a Sunday from 10:00 - 11:30, presented by Tim Lovejoy and Amanda Hamilton and Simon Rimmer the Chef. With celebrity guests interviewed and then they cook with Simon Rimmer, Simon cooks a starter a main course a pudding and a lazy brunch, all which look great whilst getting some great cooking tips along the way. Also on the show they have a ...  Read the complete review
