Some real gems in 2010, including the super debut of Matt Smith in Doctor Who and the wonderfully gruesome zombie apocalypse of Walking Dead. 'Any Human Heart' was a strong contender for my favourite telly, with Jim Broadbent on top form, but it was pipped at the post by the searing drama of This is England - 86.
This series continued the story of Shane Meadows' earlier film 'This is England', but expanded the focus from the skinhead culture to give a perspective of life on the crumbling council estates of the mid 80s. This is a world apart from the shoulder-pads and yuppies of 'Ashes to Ashes', but despite the harrowing events portrayed the final conclusion is one of surprising hope.
