A few weeks ago I wrote an article about the best lesbian couples on the telly, asking you who were your favourite. You could’ve smacked me in the ass and called me Mary when the results came in. I know that The L Word was popular and, for some poeple, the only lezzers ever on television, but Bette and Tina ran away with the vote.

One part of the YouTube phenomenon that I never really understood is the music videos that fans make to TV shows. they are like tribute videos, a person edits together clips of a show and puts it all to music. Over the last year I have found a few that I really like but I am still curious as to why people make them at all. So I decided to go to the source and ask

Each week, I sit down to another helping of Spartacus: Blood and Sand hoping it’ll be better than the week before. Yet I keep watching. There is so much hard work evident in the show that I think it deserves a couple more episodes until I make my mind up about it.

As the title of this article suggests, this is spoilerville complete with the spoiling of spoilers for Glee. If you don’t want to know leave now. But if you do, click through and see what’s happening with the gang, who’s joining the cast, who’s guest starring and what goodies the creators and writers have up their sequined sleeves.

Claire of the Moon is the butt of many a lesbian joke. Why? Well it’s crap for a start – awful clothes, stilted dialogue and dodgy acting by people who seem to think they’re in the lesbian equivalent of Citizen Kane.

You may have heard some mutterings on t’internet about Lip Service, a new telly show coming from the BBC in the Spring, which will follow the lives of some Scottish lesbians. Scottish lesbians are right up there with brown paper parcels tied up with string on my list of favourite things, so the excitement is mounting here in Gaelick towers.

Here there be spoilers! There has been a lot of internet buzz around the new show from the Steven S. DeKnight, he who wrote Dollhouse, Angel, Buffy and Smallville. Spartacus: Blood and Sand is about a man from Thrace who has a lovely six-pack.

Season 4 of channel 4’s hit show skins may only have 8 episodes but it is quaility not quantity that matters and with skins Channel 4 have given gay teenagers and young adults something they don’t get to see very often, gay people their own age.
There is something in this show for us oldies too, make no mistake, January 28th has been in my diary for quite some time.

Let’s be honest, in the history of tellyland we’ve been pretty starved for lady-loving ladies. Over in the states they’ve had it even worse than us. In my lifetime (shurrup down the back) the first lesbian couple on TV were Beth Jordache and Margaret Clements in Brookside back in 1993, American audiences had to wait until Tara put a spell on Willow in 2000. But who are your favourite? Vote and let us know.

Everyone’s favourite Big Brother runner-up, Anna Nolan, shall be returning to our screens tomorrow night (10.30pm, RTÉ 1, January 10th 2010) with a new programme which retraces her time as a trainee nun in Rialto, Dublin.
