freezing (abc)

Bentley — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 11:05:49 +0000

Forty-somethings Matt and Elizabeth are a glamorous and successful couple, at least they would be if one of them could actually get a job. This is the topic of Freezing following a book editor and a struggling actor living in London.

grand designs (abc)

Bentley — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 05:03:00 +0000

I am totally loving Grand Designs which has evolved over time from just telling the story of weird and cost overrun projects to having some great exhibitions of design. I love the diversity of ideas that people have for their houses.

q&a (abc)

Bentley — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 07:39:29 +0000

I really like the new democracy in action chat show on the ABC hosted by Tony Jones - Q&A. It puts punters, pollies and pundits together in the studio to thrash out the hot issues of the week.

studio 60 on the sunset strip (dvd)

Bentley — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 08:03:58 +0000

The set of Studio 60 looks just like The West Wing and given they were created by the same dude - the comparisons don't stop there. Anyway - its all bloody good - I love the characterisation on this one.

the gruen transfer (abc)

Bentley — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 07:34:30 +0000

The Gruen Transfer hosted by Wil Anderson is just the right mix of cynicism to fit my personality - and you have to love anything that makes fun of how advertising works. Check it out.

my super sweet 16 (foxtel)

Bentley — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 07:53:25 +0000

My Super Sweet 16 takes you on a wild ride behind the scenes for all the drama, surprises and over-the-top fun as teens prepare for their most important coming-of-age celebrations. I really love watching these spoilt little bitches get their way.

burn notice (ten)

Bentley — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 03:05:42 +0000

OK, I admit that Burn Notice is a very very silly program, but despite that I quite like the silliness and managed to watch my way through the entire season.

women's murder club (ten)

Bentley — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 02:53:03 +0000

Women's Murder Club didn't really get much of a rave critical reception when it hit either our of US screens, but I quite like it. I'm so much of a sucker for the a cop show.

skins (sbs)

Bentley — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 01:59:10 +0000

It has only just started, but Skins is looking like quite the cheeky little series. Well worth checking out on SBS.

flight of the conchords (foxtel)

Bentley — Sun, 23 Dec 2007 11:12:46 +0000

It is not on TV yet in Australia, but you can find your way around that I am sure. Billing themselves as formerly New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo; the boys from Flight of the Conchords give us a view of their poverty while trying to make it big in NYC.
