Family Guy
	TV, Justin Harries, 20 January 1999 Family Guy is Peter Griffith an ignorant, spineless slob not a million miles away from a another rotund father figure, who presides over a mentally deficient brood who, coincidentally are not so dissimilar to another not so nuclear family OK, so it's like the Simpsons, but unlike Fox's other anicom, these guys aren't afflicted with a nasty case of journdis.

	TV, Justin Harries, 20 January 1999 For an aspiring television director with the loftiest of ideals, adapting Mervyn Peake's novel Gormenghast in to a TV series is perhaps the most precarious of tasks. Written in '50s, Peake's novel is a labyrinthine plot of hysterical lunatics, arcane rituals and degenerate bloodlines, with so much double-crossing amongst the characters that it puts the average episode of Dallas to shame.

Grafters
	TV, Jerry Carpenter, 20 January 1999 There are times on the TV schedule that seem like no mans land. Four till Eight on the Beeb on Sunday - god botherers. More,
