Posted on December 31, 2010 by welovehollyoaks 1 Comment

As we all know, New Year’s Eve is all about torturous review shows. Is WLH above this? Like hell we are!

Here are our fave non-Hollyoaks things of 2010:

This is England ’86

The 80s were terrifying. Fact. Even more so when there’s a creeping sense of dread tap tap tapping constantly on your shoulder (even during the very funny comedy scenes) and there’s a scary bearded dad on the loose. Immense.

Glee

Bringing a little sunshine to our dark, early 2010 days. Our fave line? “I think my cat’s reading my diary”. Plus Sue Sylvester. Icon. Never has hatred of children and an array of tracksuits been worn with such aplomb.

Twilight: Eclipse

We love Twilight, okay? The film was epic, the books are even better. Even better than any of them, though, is Twilight: Eclipse with cats

Gilmore Girls

We know this isn’t new to 2010 but it was new to our lives in 2010. We are attributing it with curing our nasty dose of pre-Christmas flu and are convinced it has actual medicinal powers.

Sherlock

Just brill. Even if it did pinch the old use of text on screen off Hollyoaks

The God of Cake

Just read it and you’ll see why.

This is Essex

Vajazzle. Word of the year.

Inception

We’re still not sure what was actually going on, but it starred Tom Hardy (swoon) and Joseph Gorden Levvitt is the coolest person ON EARTH. We want to be him.

The Corrie tram crash

A week that promised so much and actually delivered (take note Inferno Week). When Rita was finally rescued after four days being trapped under rubble and turkish delight we actually wept with joy.

This Guardian article

Yay!

Which brings us to our most favouritest thing of all – YOU LOT! We just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for all your comments, tweets, shout outs on sites like the marvellous Digital Spy Brendan Brady fan thread and, of course, for reading this little site of ours.

You guys rock x

And hold onto your hats, because 2011 is going to be a big year for 2011 so we hope you’ll keep on tuning in!

honourable mentions

Misfits series 2. Foul mouthed and fabulous. Two words: Fisherman’s Friend; X Factor. Sort of. Wasn’t as much fun this year; Eddie Izzard – Marathon Man. Made us weep. A lot; anything starring Michael Sheen; Pete Vs The World – “I WAS HAVING A SHIT!”; the field of tricky ponies, Stuart Baggs; UBB – sob!; the Human Centipede. Haven’t seen it, yet we’re a bit obsessed
