X Factor Week 9 Review: You Can’t Hurry Love-Themed 2 Hour X Factor Programmes

by Sophie Hall

Hey guys. The X Factor’s still on. But that’s totally cool because the 100 Year War ran over a couple of decades too, and that was just as important, so not to worry. Those House of the Plantagenet dudes probably had issues connecting their own personal stresses in life to Lighthouse Family lyrics too. Oh, [...]

Review: Comedy Central’s Threesome

by Michael Park

When hecklerspray do reviews, it’s usually of a national institution like the X Factor, The Apprentice or Nick Knowles Dusts The Natural History Museum. It’s very rare for us to see something on television and write about it unless it’s likely to spawn pseudo-celebrity targets for us. Why is that? We’re not a TV website. [...]

Soap Spoilers! Truck Stealing! Perfume Spraying At Gays! Surprise Children!

by Joanna Bolouri

hecklerspray went into mourning last week when we discovered that David Essex had left Eastenders.  There was drinking, swearing, Michael Park wrote some terrible poetry and Mof Gimmers sang ‘Hold Me Close’  while crying over a really old copy of Smash Hits.  It wasn’t pretty. We couldn’t even mention the word ‘Soaps’ without one of [...]

Strictly Come Dancing, Or: The Nancy Dell’Olio Show!

by Jacki Evans

After last week’s prancing about for no real reason, this week Strictly is gaining some tiny, pathetic little morsel of a purporse in this meaningless world. Yes, this week on Strictly, they remembered that it’s a competition and got round to actually throwing someone off. Before they got dancing though, Bruce had to do an [...]

X Factor Week 8 Review: American Weird Stuff in London

by Sophie Hall

Before we begin, we just want to say one thing. We’re sorry.  No, listen. WE’RE sorry. Remember how you watched The X Factor for 2 and a half hours on Saturday? Well we’re going to tell you about that in quite an unnecessary amount of detail now. And what’s more, you’re going to like it. [...]

TV Review: Mary Portas Opens A Shop To Cry In

by Robin Darke

There’s always someone on TV spouting some fashion related twaddle about upcoming Autumn/Winter looks and how on-trend leggings are, and they’re generally all giant weeping arseholes. If it isn’t Gok Wan molesting women and masquerading it as appreciation of the female form then it’s that nad-less Mark Heyes spouting how great different shades of red [...]

X Factor Week 7 Review, Part 2, 120 Days of Sodom

by Sophie Hall

Right, you lot – no messing about. We know that we all like to have a bit of ‘fun’ every now and then on here, and have a bit of a harmless chuckle at the expense of these poor hard-working musicians, but Sunday’s episode of the X Factor was the most emotionally draining and traumatic [...]

X Factor Week 7, Part 1 – The One With All The Postmodernism At The Judges Houses

by Sophie Hall

Good weekend, was it? Had some enjoyable sandwich fillings and simulated some erogenous zones, did you? Yeah. Yeah. Us neither. Never mind, because The X Factor was on too, and if that wasn’t amazing enough it was a 2 hour special Judges Houses special as part of a special exclusive double X Factor weekend special. [...]

Strictly Come Dancing: Murder, Sequins and Jason Donovan

by Jacki Evans

A few weeks ago, Strictly came back, with a lovely bunch of has-been celebs ready to don the sequins and sexually assault professional dancers on live television. You might’ve forgotten this, because they all had to sod off for six weeks and attempt to learn how to dance. Which really, is missing a trick. They [...]

The Steps Reunion, Brought To You By Television

by hecklerspray staff

Back in the late 90s, you couldn’t move for Steps. The sexually androgynous fivesome were on every TV show going, polluting people’s eyes with their garish costumes and annoyingly catchy dance moves. Although they were generally held accountable for the music charts breakdown, and the antithesis of how well music was doing after that dreadful [...]
