The Jon Stewart Daily Show

I have become addicted to the Jon Stewart Daily Show – a kind of ‘Have-I-Got-News-For-You-meets-Jay-Leno’...I was bitten in the run up to the US election, and now I can’t get enough.

I like the ‘reporters’ on the show – particular the Brummy John Oliver – see him in action here at Obama’s inauguration:

Oh No! The Wire has finished!

I've just finished watching series 5 of The Wire, which has kicked The Sopranos off its perch as the greatest TV show I've ever seen.

It's hard to describe The Wire without making it sound like hard work, but I've found a review by Guardian TV critic and professional malcontent Charlie Brooker that does the job very well.

As he says in his summing up, just watch it - it's f***ing brilliant!

Monkey On The Roof!

Check out the Arctic Monkey's music promo for 'Leave Before The Lights Come On', which just happens to be filmed on the rooftop of DKPM North!

A lot of shoes fell past the office windows that day!

Treadmills… Ok Go

I love the simplicity of this music video Ok Go. The concept is inventive and executed to perfection – the music, the outfits, the comic timing and the general child-like larking about make for a compelling watch – it really makes you want to join in!

In fact, let me at the gym so I can have a go (there’s a first time for everything…)!

Transformers Go Off-Road

Nissan have released an amazing high concept TV ad for their 4WD vehicles – Naturally Capable.

The vehicle in question metamorphosis into a series of robotic animals to show how it naturally copes with different off-road terrains.

What an amazing ad! Now where's the button that lets my car do that?

Curb It Larry

I want to get the world watching Curb your Enthusiasm, there can’t be too many people left now - it’s one of the funniest shows on TV.

It’s loosely based on Larry David’s real life as the semi-retired creator of hit TV show Seinfeld.

Many scenarios are drawn from his own personal experiences; and also unconventionally, rather than using scripts, the show is based on story outlines and the actors’ own improvisations for dialogue

Check out the clip below for a taster; get yourself a season box set and say goodbye to the weekend.

Terry Tate: Office Linebacker

This is one of a series of TV ads created for Reebok, based on the premise of hiring an office linebacker to increase workplace productivity.

Terry Tate, was first shown at Super Bowl XXXVII. The short films feature Lester Speight as "Terrible" Terry Tate, an American Football linebacker who "gives out the pain" to those in the office who don't obey the rules.

This has gone down a storm in America, even Reebok UK made an episode!

Sexual innuendo and strong language is incorporated throughout. So if you're listening in the office, you may want to turn your speakers down a little...
