Video games are stunting children's imagination and inhibiting their ability to play together.This rather concerning issue came to light in research we conducted for Toby's Travelling Circus, our new television programme for under-fives. The study found that children who play with computer games are less likely to play with other children or to turn household objects, such as cardboard boxes, into toys.

Rollo Ross | Posted 05.08.2012 | UK Entertainment
Rollo Ross

I am so bored of people telling me that Big Brother is moronic. The fact of the matter is that it's a programme which offers real drama, real narrative and real characters (once they forget who they're trying to portray) - and there is nothing else on television like it.

Scott Bryan | Posted 29.05.2012 | UK Entertainment
Scott Bryan

The switchover is actually quite monumental when you think about it. Analogue TV has been around since the age when you could only listen to radio via a can of baked beans and some string, has never screwed up or become unfashionable.

Chris Terrill

I have been at this game for many years and have often despaired of the dumbing down of British TV - a process that has been accelerated by the proliferation of channels all vying for the viewer's attention.

Television's Unhealthy Obsession With Weight

Nick Harrison | Posted 09.03.2012 | UK Entertainment
Nick Harrison

Fat Week is not an educational endeavour, it's an exercise in 'point and giggle' television. If anything is to be gleaned then it's to invoke the puritanical mantra, "moderation in all things". But with a modern adjunct, "complete abstinence from lifestyle programming".

Kelly Holgate

Last night the self-confessed 'triple threat' Andrew Stone couldn't get enough of the sound of his own voice, as he went in to great detail about his life, loves and career crushes. If that man ever releases a book, which he actually hinted at during last night's self-indulgent bore fest, it will probably sell as well as Alan Partridge's Bouncing Back but won't come with free torch or Chocolate Orange.
