Just the two of us was a fantastic series. A celebrity and a professional singer joined together to sing a variety of songs to a panel of judges. There aim was to dazzle the judges and get the publics vote! The couples were Mark Moraghan with Natasha Hamilton, Russell Watson with Sian Reeves, Chris Fountain with Jo O'Meara, Penny Smith with Curtis Stigers, Nicky Campbell with Beverley Knight, Matt Alwright with Jocelyn Brown, Fiona Bruce with Alexander O'Neal and Gaby Roslyn with Martin Fry. Russell Watson and Sian Reeves won. They did excellently and Sian did really well considering she had to match such a strong and powerful voice such as Russells. Mark and Natasha were runners up. I hope the BBC do a second series!

Blackpool is a comedy/drama. It was great acting by the whole cast and every episode ended on a cliffhanger which left you wanting to watch the next episode straight away! The way the songs were done was brilliant and the chemistry between David Morrisey and Sarah Parish was good. There are a lot of twists in the whole story which make it even more fun to watch because it is unpredictable. The music, the dancing and the singing make this drama a part comedy because however serious the song is it still manages to make you laugh. I really liked the way the director used the songs and put them into the mood of the scenes as well, it helped you to understand what the characters were thinking and feeling with out them telling you. Overall I think this is one of the best dramas the BBC has produced in years!

I have watched all of the waking the dead episodes and I have really enjoyed all the episodes so far. The plots are funny but complicated and the effortless character acting is brilliant! Trevor Eve over the years has portrayed his character, Detective Chief Superintendent Peter Boyd, wonderfully. The relationship between Boyd and Grace Foley (Sue Johnson) is fantastic. Out of all the members of the cold case team, the oldest, Grace manages to shout back at Boyd and make him back down, I think that is really good. My favourite episode was Series 5 Episode 2, Black Run, in which Boyd gets drugged and framed. I hope the writers of this series carry on with waking the dead and I look forward to the next series.
