Happy Easter Everybody!!

I've been a little quiet as I haven't been watching much television this week. After watching 24 at Davie's followed by The Apprentice at Mr & Mrs T's, I've had a couple of days where I watched no television. I've been out socialising. Don't worry, ladies. I didn't meet anyone so you're all still in with a chance.

So, with little television under my belt, I'll just mention what I'm really looking forward to this week.

What I'm really looking forward to this week is Life On Mars on Tuesday. If you haven't watched it before, don't bother as it's the last ever episode. I really like Life On Mars. I probably shouldn't, as really all it is is a cop show set in the seventies with a character from the modern day.

The episodes generally follow the same line. There's a crime. The seventies cops decide who done it based on prejudice and intimidation. Sam Tyler thinks there's more to it so looks closely using modern techniques. There're a couple of arguments but Sam persuades the seventies cops. They solve the crime, and it tends to be a person who didn't look as though they'd done it at the start of the episode.

Throughout it all, something is happening to Sam in modern times which affects the way he deals with the case. Every episode has a few will they won't they scenes with Maggie (the girl cop from the seventies), and Sam will always accidentally mention a modern day thing which the seventies cops think is silly. And maybe someone will mention spangles or Mott the Hoople at some point.

Every episode, same formula. I like it though. They haven't made enough episodes for it to be boring.

I'm excited about this week's episode as I'm hoping that it explains it all. I say hoping as I had a really vivid dream the other night that I saw the last episode and it just ended without explaining anything. It was like watching the last episodes of Twin Peaks, Sapphire and Steel and Farscape (before the mini-series finale had been announced) all at the same time. I woke up by jumping up from my bed, drenched in sweat shouting "NO!" (like people do on the telly). Then I realised that it was all a dream, that I'd actually spent the night dreaming about the last ever episode of Life On Mars, that I was a thirty-six year old man whose life was so barren and devoid of interests or hobbies that the most vivid dream I've had in the last six months was about a formulaic television programme. And now I'm writing about it on the internet.

Special Easter Day edition of Mickey's television viewing last night:

Please pretend that the bullet points are easter eggs. I could probably find a way of doing this, but I really can't be bothered.

• Cricket World Cup (Bangladesh beat South Africa. That's good for England, apparently.)
• Harry Hill's TV Burp (In a similar way to Little Britain and Catherine Tate, he makes the same jokes over and over again. But he's much funnier and he looks a bit like friend of Mickey and Davie's TV Rant, Mr T.)
• Entourage (Last episode of the series, recorded about two months ago. I've finally got round to watching it. It's supposed to be funny, but I barely raise a smile when I watch it. And yet, watch it I will.)
• Battlestar Galactica (A filler episode but still infinitely better than the best episode of Enterprise).

And as it's Easter Sunday, this means there won't be another Creme Egg advert on for another nine months. A little message to Cadbury: how about a new advertising slogan in 2008? My suggestion: Cadbury Creme Eggs, how many can YOU get in your mouth at the same time!?
