SUBLIMINAL KEITH RICHARDS REFERENCE OF THE WEEK
COOKERY TIP OF THE WEEK
Go on, admit it – when you saw Nathan ironing his sandwich to toast it in this week’s brilliant episode of Misfits , you had a sneaking urge to go and try it for yourself to see if it would work…
PERTINENT CASTING OF THE WEEK
Is it any coincidence that Robert “ Nightmare On Elm Street ” Englund played a scientist who gave people nightmares in this week’s UK episode of Chuck ? Or a massive in-joke? This is the guest-star-mongous Chuck we’re talking about, so our money’s on the latter. Oh, and what has the show got against otters? Why were they included in the Aisle Of Terror? Otters have mysteriously cropped up in Chuck’s intersect flashes before. We think someone on the writing team must have had an unfortunate otter incident in their youth.

MEET THE PARENTS MOMENT OF THE WEEK
Introducing the girlfriend to your mum for the first time is always a stressful time… But it rarely goes this badly.
MAKE-UP MALFUNCTION OF THE WEEK
Sanctuary ’s Kate really should have chosen water resistant mascara…

RUBBISH PUBLICITY PHOTO OF THE WEEK
It took us ages to work out that the star of The Cape (coming to US TV in January) is supposed to look like he’s just burst through that poster. There’s also a certain feel of one of those “Have your photo taken as a superhero” affairs you get at theme parks about it.
NEW FASHION LABEL OF THE WEEK
We’d love to see this collection on the catwalks of Paris. CBS has launched The Starfleet Academy Campus Store , offering a wide array of SFA branded products just like any other campus store.
