I really enjoyed writing my last post of Reasons To Watch (you can read that here) and decided to do this as a series of all my favourite TV programmes. My favourite programme hands down is Castle. For lots of reasons and I mean A LOT OF REASONS. So here are just a few because it could get a bit long.

1. It's funny



2. It has a kick ass plot line



3. Adorable Writers/Producers who are married to each other



4. Actors who fangirl over the show



5. Pretty People




6. The character of Castle is just well...






7. The sexual tension on screen and off



8. It's really quotable


9. It will break your heart




10. and put it back together again


11. Nathan Fillion tho.



12. Seamus Dever



13. The Sub Plot will kill you



14. They all sing Piano Man


15. The Women of the Show are badass




There are plenty more reasons to watch the show. If you already do feel free to fangirl with me any time!

We're now into the 3rd series of Channel 4's Educating.... series starting originally with Educating Essex followed by Educating Yorkshire and now we are on to Educating the East End.



Educating Essex was widely well received and became well known for one particular classic question "What is Pi? Where does it come from?". There was bullying, friendships breaking down and making up, and teen pregnancy which made for dramatic viewing. Which led to a twice as popular spin off Educating Yorkshire.

Educating Yorkshire was very popular for good reason. The teachers had a great personality, as did the students and more importantly there was one defining moment. When Musharaf found his voice. He had a stutter and overcame it enough with the help of his English teacher to achieve a grade C in English and make a speech at the end of the year.

I thought Educating... was excellent. Due to the fact that it supported the country's education system and showed how hard working teachers can be and how difficult and stressful school life can be. (Which if you're a teenager you're pretty much already aware of.)

The problem is that I think Educating the East End is pushing it slightly in terms of how long a series should be on for. This series has taught confirmed something I believed. That every school and every place is made up of pretty much the same people. Which in one way is fine, it teaches you how to deal with those people and know what to expect. However it doesn't make particularly good viewing. The third time around. Although everybody is different. Of course they are. There are a lot of similarities in a lot of cases even if they took a different route to get there.

So yes I think that the Educating... series has run it's course.

I am a fan of The West Wing. About 2 months ago I decided to sit down and watch the whole lot because I had heard great things about the series and because it was SKY TV Box Sets.

For those who don't know The West Wing is a political drama about the White House. More specifically the West Wing of the White House. Which is where the President's offices are located. It contains the Oval Office, the Cabinet Room, the Situation Room and the Roosevelt Room. The West Wing (Tv Programme) follows the workers of the White House in the Bartlet Campaign. So here are the reasons to watch The West Wing.

#1 It's Funny

#2 It addresses important events in history

#3 It has the most badass Bible Quoting Scene of all time

#4 They make excellent political points

#5 The Social Commentary is top notch

#6 They stand up for women's rights

#7 Josh and Donna are the cutest people ever

#8 President Bartlet is great

#9 So is his wife Abbey

#10 The President rode into a tree in the first episode

#11 Everyone has guest starred in The West Wing 

#12 The Relationship between Charlie and The President
