Birmingham graduate Tim Stillwell caused great excitement on campus when his name was released as part of the final sixteen candidates to be storming the boardroom for this year’s series of the apprentice. Having spent time in Mexico in 2011 as a part of his degree Stillwell launched the famous Burrito Van on campus in [...]]]> http://www.redbrick.me/2013/06/an-interview-with-tim-stillwell/feed/ 0 http://www.redbrick.me/2013/05/the-game-returns/ http://www.redbrick.me/2013/05/the-game-returns/#comments Wed, 01 May 2013 11:21:48 +0000 Redbrick http://www.redbrick.me/?p=267982
If you’re a fan you’ll have watched it and if you’re not you must have heard about it: Game of Thrones has returned for its third season.   The cult fantasy is based on the novel series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin, with Sky Atlantic airing the new episode on [...]]]> http://www.redbrick.me/2013/05/the-game-returns/feed/ 0 http://www.redbrick.me/2013/01/the-midwives-are-back/ http://www.redbrick.me/2013/01/the-midwives-are-back/#comments Sat, 26 Jan 2013 00:05:08 +0000 Abbie Salter http://www.redbrick.me/?p=254413
After the success of the Christmas episode, the BBC welcomes back Call the Midwife for a second series. From the look of the first episode, we’re in for a real delight. Something to keep us entertained whilst we’re buried under all this snow. The first episode of the new series marks Jenny’s birthday and her [...]]]> http://www.redbrick.me/2013/01/the-midwives-are-back/feed/ 0 http://www.redbrick.me/2013/01/top-5-cookery-shows/ http://www.redbrick.me/2013/01/top-5-cookery-shows/#comments Fri, 25 Jan 2013 23:52:04 +0000 Redbrick http://www.redbrick.me/?p=254402
5. Heston’s Fantastical Food Heston Blumenthal is undoubtedly one of the most creative chefs out there. This show sees him experimenting with science and creating life size foods, including an enormous Christmas pudding crossed with an igloo, made using a cement mixer! The chefs that work in the Fat Duck must have a whale of [...]]]> http://www.redbrick.me/2013/01/top-5-cookery-shows/feed/ 0 http://www.redbrick.me/2013/01/time-for-american-idol-to-be-voted-off/ http://www.redbrick.me/2013/01/time-for-american-idol-to-be-voted-off/#comments Fri, 25 Jan 2013 23:29:41 +0000 Abbie Salter http://www.redbrick.me/?p=254391
Last week saw the return of the twelfth series of American Idol, and for a series that’s produced 271 number one hits it was unfortunately a massive snore fest. The judges this season consist of Randy Jackson, Country singer Keith Urban (AKA Mr Nicole Kidman), Nicki Minaj and the ultimate diva Mariah Carey. And unless [...]]]> http://www.redbrick.me/2013/01/time-for-american-idol-to-be-voted-off/feed/ 0 http://www.redbrick.me/2013/01/far-from-utopia/ http://www.redbrick.me/2013/01/far-from-utopia/#comments Fri, 25 Jan 2013 23:03:09 +0000 Redbrick http://www.redbrick.me/?p=254384
In the run up to its big reveal Utopia was billed as science-fiction, and it sort of is, but it’s the most supercharged science-fiction you’ll ever see. There are conspiracy theories, genetic mutations, and a whole lot of sex and violence; it feels like Quentin Tarantinos attempt at rewriting the X-files; in a good way.

Originally, I assumed 8 Out of 10 Cats would be a show that introduced you to things you never knew about kittens. As someone who has watched almost every kitten video YouTube has to offer – and trust me, that’s a lot – I prepared myself for 45 minutes of slight boredom, interspersed with many [...]]]> http://www.redbrick.me/2013/01/virgin-viewer-8-out-of-10-cats/feed/ 0 http://www.redbrick.me/2013/01/sun-sex-and-gullible-teens/ http://www.redbrick.me/2013/01/sun-sex-and-gullible-teens/#comments Fri, 25 Jan 2013 21:30:35 +0000 Redbrick http://www.redbrick.me/?p=254364
Owing to the raging success of Series 1 and 2, the British nation have once again been blessed with the comeback of BBC 3’s reality show Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents.

Way To Go is a new BBC 3 comedy created by US-based writer Bob Kushell, (3rd Rock From The Sun, The Simpsons, Anger Management) and follows the life of Scott (Blake Harrison, Neil from The Inbetweeners), his half-brother Joey and their friend Cozzo. The cash-strapped and down-on-luck trio make a business from a self-assisted suicide [...]]]> http://www.redbrick.me/2013/01/way-to-gothe-new-dark-comedy/feed/ 0
