When choosing your weekly viewing it is often quite daunting when faced with pages and pages of programmes each day to choose from in the tv guide.
After all there are so many channels to choose from – if you use Freeview you have over a hundred plus and if you subscribe to Sky then the sky really is the limit.
However, it always pays to read the reviews written by the TV critics and many people make this the mainstay of their viewing. After all, these people are paid to watch TV so they must have at least an inkling of what they are talking about!
It may not always seem like your cup of tea, but taking a chance and following the recommendations from the TV critics is worth it as you often uncover some gems that you would not have watched. Many people are converts to some little known sitcom outside of the regular channels that they first discovered thanks to a write up.
I am not saying that you should blindly follow what they recommend – after all, if you hate sport then watching the big match will not do it for you, however much other people recommend it. But rather use it as an inspiration to broaden your outlook and find some of the best programmes around.
