You guys should know – there are perks that come with writing for TMC, one of which is most definitely preview discs. Oh the joy I felt when the first episode of Lip Service popped through my letterbox – it was a pretty sweet feeling.

If you’re as excited as me about Harriet Braun/the Beeb’s upcoming lesbian drama series, then I’m willing to bet my left arm you’ll be somewhat interested in finding out who’s been cast to play the lusty Glaswegian lady-lovers that you’re due to spend much of Spring 2010 unashamedly lusting after. … Continue Reading

Up until now however, that’s exactly what it has been (rumour that is). We folk at TMC are pleased to announce that more moist-making small screen news has dripped its way into the press this week … Continue Reading
