This summer has to be the worst television I've seen in a long time. Aside from "Lost" and "Scrubs" (and "War at Home" too) there's absolutly nothing on television that catches my eye.

I'm not a reality television fan, so Big Brother, Love Island and The X Factor hold no interest for me whatsoever. If they're ever on, I switch over. It's only when my girlfriend wants to watch them that they are switched on in my household.

As for the Americans, you guys fret when you don't have any good television for three months, and that you have to wait for the likes of Lost to return. HOW DO YOU THINK US BRITS FEEL? We have good television (in large numbers) from January to June every year, and then nothing. July through to the beginning of the New Year iun January sees the arrival of absolute rubbish on our screens. I call the period "DVD Kingdom" because all I ever watch are DVDs.

And this year is no different. I'm currently watching Alias on DVD, a series I've never had a chance to view befire (btw, it's brilliant) and after that, I'm planning on rewatching all of Scrubs again from the start, and BBC's Hustle too. And that's what I do: watch DVDs, because my television has let me down.

The good news this year is television stations are finally booking up their ideas. In October, the BBC launch Torchwood, which should be great, and ITV launch Primeval, a new sci-fi series about a Dinosaur-loving proffessor. And I can't wait, because there's nothing better than good television.

And I don't want to have to watch until January for it to return ever again.
