Burn Up (BBC)

*****

I knew this would probably annoy me and I was right. All the sophistication of a cowboy movie where the baddies wear black hats. Seriously, is this the best enviro-disaster thing that the BBC can come up with? Yawn fest. I honestly wouldn't have lasted...

God Is Not Great

*****

I was expecting great things in this book from a thinker I deeply admire. Unfortunately it has nothing new to say and has no chance of convincing anyone on either side of the fence. I'm not a big reader, I rarely read anything approaching philosophy...

Boom Boom (RTE)

Jimmy Doherty's Farming Heroes

*****

One of the best programmes on food ever. Should be compulsory viewing for clueless urbanites. Whilst I've always enjoyed Jimmy's Farm, I wasn't expecting much from this. I was completely wrong. The opening espisode was a masterpiece.

Celebrity Masterchef 2008

*****

This started very badly with a gaggle of incompetent hasbeens annoying me. Now at last 3, it's fantastic. Yes the formula is starting to grate badly but finding a natural cook like Liz warms the cockles of your heart.

Cottage Delight Satay Marinade

*****

Cottage Delight Hickory Smoked Barbecue Sauce

*****

<p>This was one of two I tried on the BBQ yesterday. Whilst not offensive, it is pretty insipid and expensive too. I used it on...</p>

Double Fault by Lionel Shriver

*****

So Wimbledon was in progress, I was in my local bookshop and this novel caught my eye. Its the story of Willy, a low ranking tennis professional on the way up when we first encounter her. She's been playing tennis since aged four and is now...

Slightly bigger popcorn chicken in Zinger-Burger type coating. Nice and hot like the Zinger but a touch over priced
