"That Would Never Happen!" Dan and Ali write the real reviews of UK TV drama serials (stuff marketed as quality, if you please), telling it like it is rather than the my-mate's-the-director, I-get-party-invites, or the I-need-my-job reviews that often appear.

The 2012 TWNH Awards
These awards look back at the best (& worst) of TV drama from 2012, specifically focussing on the dreaded That Would Never Happen (TWNH) moments. See last year's awards here.
Best in show (actor) - Ben Cumberbatch for Parade's End
Best in show (actress) - Karla Crome for Murder
Worst in show (actor) - David Tennant for True Love (sorry David!) closely followed by Andrew Scott for his OTT Moriarty in Sherlock AND his muttering cop in Blackout, which very nearly made it in the 'Biggest TWNH' category too.
Worst in show (actress) - Melissa George for Hunted
It was good until... - Inside Men for throwing all our good will away with a terrible last 15 minutes
Biggest TWNH - A toss up between the whole of the second series of Homeland and The Bletchley Circle
Best show - Line of Duty, though Murder, The Hollow Crown, some episodes of Accused and Prisoners' Wives were good too
Drama most outstaying its welcome - Downton Abbey If it's true that there's to be a re-boot/alternative/prequel, it says it all about lowest-common-demoninator viewing.
