New column in The Big Issue

My new column: slagging off TV for a worthy cause

I am The Big Issue’s new TV columnist. The column starts next week, in the issue out 16th January. It is called Don’t Watch That, Watch This. It will identify the stuff that is undeservingly overhyped elsewhere while recommending some gems that are really worth going out of your way to watch. The first column is about why Boardwalk Empire is awesome and Sherlock is a load of shite. Get it from a homeless person next Tuesday!
