If you watch as much terrible television as I do, you’ll know that there’s a sweet spot between good trash and bad trash. Outlander is of the former category- a combination of romance, historical events and science fiction, it’s just the right level of ridiculous to be enjoyable.

The international trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story dropped last week, and with it came the feverish speculation that unites all good Star Wars fans. Packed with explosive action sequences and uplifting soundbites, the trailer has set the film up to be a classic sci-fi epic, though with new faces amongst our familiar favourites.

Lewis’ adage that “there are no ordinary people.” Moving, funny, and often deeply sad, Grace tells the story of her search for Lucy Barfield, C. S.

Tell us a little about your new show, The Kardashians Made Me Do It.
It’s about four things really – political correctness, people being offended, ISIS, and jihadi brides.
You emerged as a comic shortly following 9/11, and received a lot of praise. Were you prepared for the level of attention you’d receive?
No, I just wanted to be a comedian. I just wanted to tell jokes and be good at what I did. I didn’t think about fame […] Comedy’s very hard, and it takes a long time to get good, and that’s what I wanted to do.

Tell us about your new show, Consequences.
It’s a show about aging, and about how much I’ve let my sixteen-year-old self down, basically. It’s called Consequences because I realised all the things I thought I’d be doing when I was sixteen that I’m very much not doing now. I’m not married to Morrissey, I’m not living in America, and I’m not driving a classic car.

We’ve reached the end of the first season Jessica Jones, and this final episode encompasses all the things I love about the series as a whole. Though not perfect, AKA Smile strikes a good balance between character development and scrappy action sequences, something which the show has historically struggled with. The hospital sequence was well-paced, and the final fight with Kilgrave combined a police raid with a silent disco, which is too charming not to love.
