Autumn television – All about Downton again.
I noticed it the other night when I was drawing the curtains before 9pm. It may still be August but the nights are already beginning to close in. And certain television events that remind us that Autumn is literally peering around the corner are almost upon us. Which is why now is a perfect time to check out the new BT broadband packages that are available, offering optimum opportunities for on-demand and catch-up TV, along with the best in high definition. Because, believe me, you are going to want the very best in viewing experiences for the Autumn programme. So, what have I got in my viewing schedule for the…

Why staying in is the new going out.
I must be getting old! I used to be able to dance the night away, from dusk til dawn, and then get up and do a full days work. I used to like nothing more than a great night out, meeting friends, eating, drinking and frankly being merry. But now nothing makes me happier than a night in, with a great takeaway, a nice bottle of wine and something seriously good to watch on the TV. And I think the TV might just be the key to why I now enjoy this so much. Television now is a global event, opinions on TV programmes shared on Twitter in live time,…

Pyschobitches, Kylie and Jessa – Reasons to Switch to Sky this Summer
I’ve recently switched my internet provider to Sky Broadband. It seemed to make perfect sense to have my satellite TV, telephone calls and internet from one combined source, and Sky was the best option for my family, especially with the Sky+ element, and my husband’s love of HD channels. Although I had always used Freeview in the past, the Broadband bundles currently offered by Sky , which include unlimited Broadband (perfect for a blogger of course), the Sky TV entertainment package that includes Sky Atlantic, and a free Sky HD box, mean that I have a package that both addresses my working needs in the form of reliable and fast…

TV Bafta’s – A host of Beautiful looks
The stars of the small screen were out in force last night for the Television BAFTA awards, the most prestigious awards in British TV. From Sienna Miller to the cast of Made in Chelsea, it seemed like everyone was there, scrubbed up and wearing Sunday best. This year there were some really lovely looks on display, with a host of designers from Matthew Williamson to Valentino represented on the red carpet. I struggled to come up with my favourite looks, as there were actually quite a few to choose from. Lucy Watson from Made in Chelsea, Zoe Hardman and Helen McCrory all looked beautiful on the Red Carpet, in looks…

Mr Selfridge – Totally seduced by the style and shopping.
After a weekend of ill-health, I finally got around to catching up properly with ‘Mr Selfridge’ last night. I was totally dazzled and enchanted, as I had expected to be, with the fascinating story of Harry Gordon Selfridge, played in the series by Jeremy Piven, and the iconic department store he created, bought to life on the small screen. All those instantly recognisable features, the wonderful window displays, the luxurious fixtures and fittings, the Art Nouveau style lifts, it was all there, albeit in a 1909 version. Mr Selfridge was a retail visionary. So much about the way we enjoy shopping is down to him, from the opportunity to be…
