GRUMPY OLD MEN: EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK

Maybe its because we are turning into one ourselves but we do find this show funny, airing on the ABC Network Tuesdays @ 8.00pm, this week Eveywhere You Look is a treat.

As Don Warrington say "What I hate is people who beep you when you're driving. You stop somewhere, and presumably you've stopped there for a reason. You're not on holiday, you're not relaxing, it's not the beach, you're trying to get somewhere. Obviously you can't get there because something's in the way. But some dick behind you thinks 'No, he's just hanging around.' "

35-to-54-year-olds are the grumpiest group of people in Britain today. Grumpier than their parents, who survived the war. Grumpier than their children, who just want to do drugs and surf the internet. Just when you thought they were finished, the Grumpy Old Men are back again to complain about modern life.

Sir Tim Rice, Will Self, Rick Wakeman, Nigel Havers, Rory McGrath, Tony Slattery, John O'Farrell, Sir Gerry Robinson, Arthur Smith, John Stapleton, Des Lynam, Don Warrington and Peter York air their very grumpy views about mobile phones, modern music, Hollywood films, bottled water, Bluetooth, Blackberries, DVDs and advertising - among other things. No stone is left unturned.

In episode two filling up the car, a trip to the supermarket, traffic wardens, pedestrians, drivers, motorcyclists, even consulting the street directory are grist to the mill for the Grumpy Old Men. Not to mention Bono wearing sunglasses inside and the mindless chit chat between newsreaders and buskers on the Tube.

Hilariously funny and frighteningly accurate, the third series of Grumpy Old Men is just as entertaining as its predecessors.

WIRE IN THE BLOOD Prayer of the Bone

Robson Green goes stateside for a special episode of the acclaimed and hard-hitting drama Wire In The Blood, made in America for ITV1 by Coastal Productions. The feature-length thriller, filmed in and around Austin, Texas, takes talented but eccentric clinical psychologist Dr Tony Hill (Robson Green) away from the familiar streets of Bradfield and pits him against the might of the US legal system, sweltering heat, and rattlesnakes.

DOC MARTIN SEASON THREE FINAL EPISODE

This entertaining comedy drama series comes to close on ITV1 on Monday 5 November @ 9.00pm and it's the wedding day for Dr Martin Ellingham (Martin Clunes) and Louisa Glasson (Caroline Catz). It’s business as usual for Dr Martin Ellingham (Martin Clunes), even though it's his wedding day. He opens the surgery as normal to a stream of patients, including one of the bridesmaids. Louisa Glasson’s (Caroline Catz) best friend Isobel (Amanda Abbington), who is heavily pregnant, is hit in the eye with a party popper as Roger Fenn (Jeff Rawle), who is giving Louisa away, raises a toast to the bride to be. The doctor prescribes eye-drops, and a patch to cover the injury. An eye patch with a bridesmaid’s dress is not a good look. Martin manages to offend the local vicar (David Ryall) who is due to conduct the wedding ceremony by suggesting he has a drink problem. But when he goes to the church to try to placate the vicar, Martin catches him red handed with a bottle of whisky. The vicar ...
