... and my three year old son LOVES toy cars. Cars the movie, and Hot Wheels.

This film doesn't make a whole load of sense viewed in isolation as it is midway through a five part series, but the plot doesn't really matter when you are only three.

(If you must know though Dr Tesla has assembled a bunch of racers from rival street racer gangs to race against the drones to gain the Wheel of Power and save the world.. or something...) The graphics are not too bad for a computer animation. The cars are well crafted and the physics are about right for toy cars. The 'drones' make quiet good baddies, I suspect they are influenced by the Borg in Star Trek though.

The final race in the city 'world' is good, and that's what this film is all about, don't worry too much about the hokey plot, just enjoy the racing of Team Teku and the Metal Maniacs against the baddie drones.

It ends abruptly though. I suppose I'll need to buy the boy the next in the series to see what happens next.

Channel 4 back on form if you ask me but I am sure this won't be to everyone's taste. Part stand up, part sketch show, it is half an hour of sick comedy with plenty of swearing and a rather disturbing amount of jokes about paedophilia.

But then that's Frankie Boyle, he likes to push peoples buttons and joke about topics that other comedians wouldn't touch with a barge pole. Frank himself does the stand up, in his usual aggressive Glaswegian banter but a few other regulars are there to help him out with the sketches.

While most of the material is really out there, I love it, because it reminds me of the old days of Channel 4 when they used to do edgy and weird programs all the time. Stuff that makes you wonder if you won't be tainted just for watching it. Great!

God help Frankie's kids though...

This is a sketch show ran by the titular Morgan Robinson. It's not bad. I never rated Catherine Tate that much and I would say Morgan is slightly better than her.

The two chaps that are there to help her out with the sketches are good too and I love the rather confused Chelsea pensioner skit that they do.

I like Gilbert too, and the Mortitians, but the mad film star and Fern Cotton I can do without.

Like a lot of shows at the moment though it does suffer from having the same characters doing the same stuff each week ala the Fast Show.

Good enough to watch on a week night though, and does fine in the slot after Frankie Boyle on channel 4.

I think I fancy here a little bit too! O_o
