For fans of Grey?s Anatomy this is a must for you.
Private Practice is an American drama show shown in England on Living TV on Thursday nights. It?s a spin off from the very popular medical drama Grey?s Anatomy. It is now in its second season.
The show revolves around Dr Addison Forbes Montgomery. If you watch Grey?s Anatomy you will know that she is the ex-wife of Derek Shepherd who worked at Seattle Grace hospital with him and Meredith for a time. She is one of the top neonatal surgeons in the country and when she is offered a job by her old friend Naomi she moves out to California to begin working at a health clinic in Santa Monica. The show thus follows her move to the clinic and the new environment she finds herself in.
When this show first started I have to admit that I didn?t really love it. I love the energy of Grey ...

Advantages: Good UEFA coverage Disadvantages: Too many Soaps and too much Drama.
ITV1 is going through a serious bad patch at the moment, after the phone line scandal and with programs like Ant and Dec's Takeaway the channel is not having the success that it had in the past and with falling revenue from advertising the company has decided to cut back on its regional programmes to absorb the drops in revenue. Today it has been branded as a nationwide channel rather than the regional identities that had long been established such as Thames Television for London or Central for the Midlands region.
The channel itself started broadcasting under the name of Independent Television on 22nd September 1955, as an alternative to the BBC that only had one channel at the time. Throughout the 1960's and 1970's the channel gave us a whole host of well known acts such as Benny Hill, and Morecambe and Wise. Also it gave us shows ...

Advantages: Very enjoyable read Disadvantages: Could it be the last?
P D James has always been a favourite author of mine (although I admit that many years ago I thought P D James was male!).
About the author
Phyllis Dorothy James started writing in the mid 1950s and it wasn?t until 1962 that her book was published (Cover Her Face).
She was made Baroness James of Holland Park in 1991. She lives in London and Oxford and has two children.
The Private Patient
This latest offering has Adam Dalgliesh and his team investigating the murder of Rhoda Gradwyn.
Rhoda is an investigative journalist, who after years of living with a disfiguring and long-standing scar decides to book herself into a private clinic (Cheverell Manor) to have it removed.
What could possibly go wrong?!
As you would imagine in a P D James murder mystery all is not as it seems and the Cheverell Manor holds a deadly secret ...
