TV Preview: Misfits, E4
A new E4 series called Misfits you say? About a group of young delinquents doing community service? We've not been this put off a new TV series since the Bad Girls pilot. In fact, the likelihood of a good series coming from E4 is akin to that of finding a hen's tooth, or Tess Daly's soul. Imagine the disquiet and shock which consumed us when we saw the first episode of this teen-insert genre here and discovered it's actually quite good. Maybe Tess Daly has a soul after all.*

TV Preview: Skins Series 3
OMG! Skins is back! E4’s modern-day take on one side of 'yoof culture' returns to make everyone feel like they have crap parties, old and extremely unfashionable. After establishing itself as one of E4's more successful shows which isn't Friends or Big Brother, the programme has taken a strange and swift change of direction. Instead of building on the foundations of the second series, the producers have instead decided to tell the original cast to bugger off as they've hired some fresh meat.

TV Review: Samantha Who, Sunday 14th September, 11pm, E4
Everyone has things they’d like to forget; that time you were sick and blamed it on the dog, the ‘homely looking' date who ended up staying for breakfast, or perhaps the hours you wasted watching Echo Beach. Straight in the memory trash can every single one. In new US import Samantha Who, however, the list of things to forget is as long and distinguished as Slider’s Johnson, featuring a lead character who just can’t remember a damned thing. As it turns out, that’s a definite plus for Samantha Newly (Christina Applegate), the victim of a hit and run who awakes from an eight-day coma only to discover she has retrograde amnesia. Family and friends are strangers, but the one thing that our Sam can discern is that until right now, she has spent her life as a full time megabitch who could give lessons in how to lose friends and alienate people.
