In this brand new feature at Satscene, we’re highlighting the fact that we do occasionally watch telly as opposed to just ripping the piss out of it.
This is the first in a series of more than one featured TV programmes, all of which will be reviewed perfectly seriously by the team, with no smirking, giggling or mickey-taking. We will be throwing the full weight of our journalistic talents at this and holding nothing back.

Or we might just revert to type and attempt to find humour in things which don’t rightly justify it.
In issue one, we feature Brainiac, that institution of academic wastelandiness.
Here you will be ‘entertained and amused’ by that Richard Hammond berk who keeps crashing cars and blowing up caravans, plus the increasingly aggravating Jon Tickle (from Big Brother 4). Boy to I want to smack him in the kisser!

Let’s get right down to it. It’s a lads mag pretending to be educational.
It also pretends to be entertaining, but fails miserably. It has one redeeming feature though. The Brainiac ladettes. Nothing more to say about them other than - check the pics!
So just to recap then, that’s tits, bums and exploding caravans.
All quite embarrassing really. People have been up in arms in recent years at the blatant sexism in the Benny Hill show for example, and here we are re-inventing it all in the name of science.
Fantastic, I say! Now if we could just get rid of the science bit. And the Hammond/Tickle dudes. Maybe the opening titles and ending credits while we’re about it.
And whilst I’m up for an explosion or two, the repeated destruction of otherwise perfectly useable mobile homes does get a little tiresome, so let’s ditch that. It adds nothing to an otherwise winning formula if you ask me.
Right, looking better after our minor improvements, I reckon.
