Everything worth watching

Andrew Lovesey is Editor-in-Chief of The Remote, and he has worked every side of the screen. He’s been in the casting studio, on the production floor and in front of the camera. He writes from Toronto’s Little Portugal and orders his cheeseburgers like a five-year-old: with cheese, ketchup and nothing else. He collects hotel pens and will happily tell anyone which property makes his favourite. His partner has threatened to leave over his obsession with The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, but he is still watching, and he isn’t sorry.
