NEW ON TV

TV CRITIC ROYALE (BBC1, 19th February. 9.30)

Bloody, violent, self-referential futuristic game show in which
television reviewers past and present are armed to the teeth and
helicoptered to a remote island where they must battle until only one
remains, all the while reviewing the very programme they're on via
their headset microphones. Featuring, among others, globulous
antidopean Clive James, bogus curmudgeon Charlie Brooker, and
spade-faced harridan Grace Dent.

This week: Nina Myskow castrates Charlie Catchpole with a length of
razor wire but fails to spot Ally Ross's cunningly-placed landmines.
