For the benefit of UK viewers...

Glee, the smash hit American comedy-drama-musical TV series, will be making its way to our shores next year and be shown on...E4. Trust Channel 4 to get its priorities right.

But still, from the poster above I have no doubt the majority of you will be nay-sayers. You want me to describe Glee in several words? OK. Think High School Musical, but if it had been adapted into a TV series and wasn't shit, had songs which have a modicum of relevance to modern pop culture (actually, screw a modicum: I'd say the majority of the songs are either pretty influential on the modern pop scene or are a part of it!), had an interesting plot, was actually FUNNY some/most of the time, and had adult themes. There, that's Glee. Oh, and it has one of the best characters of all time in a soulless cheerleading coach. Srsly, some of the one-liners she has...words cannot do justice. In any case, EVERYBODY who I have shown this amazing programme to has been converted, even if some have resisted a little to begin with. Channel 4 are making a massive mistake not making this the centre-piece of their Friday/Sunday-night schedules.

But still, enough of what I have to say about it. I'll do as Girls Aloud and let the funky music do the talking...






I may have to kill the first person who dismisses this as nothing more than a karaoke show. What you are witnessing here is my transformation from a barely-respectable music critic to a full-blown Gleek...
