The first was sadly Dan Fogelman's new high-concept drama. Paradise has Sterling K Brown as the ex President's senior security officer who through two flashbacks we learn has saved the P's life, but who he also blames for the death of his wife. Then the Big Reveal - the idyllic suburban town they're in is buried in a mountain, some terrible cataclysm having affected the Earth. Oh great - more dystopia. And to paraphrase Q, 'That's when I tilted my hat and said Goodbye, Mr. Fogelman'.
The BBC presents a drama in which super-successful Eve Myles picks up cleaner Gabrielle Creevy and starts to fill her head with grandiose ideas. When Creevy uses her new boss's house to entertain a pick-up, I immediately thought 'Oh. It's one of those.' You know, totally unbelievable. The pick-up turns violent (as you do?) and she accidentally kills him just as her boss returns. That one episode is quite enough, which is a shame, as both Myles and Creevy are quite watchable.
