Jim Shelley is a British television and entertainment critic.
From 1993 to 2000, Shelley wrote as a freelance writer for The Guardian‘s supplemental section The Guide. His television criticism work initially appeared as a column under the alias of “Tapehead”. These were considered surrealistic reviews of current television, similar to the work of Victor Lewis-Smith and Charlie Brooker.[1][2] He later worked specifically on soap operas under “Soaphead”. He also wrote for The Mail on Sunday‘s “Night on Day” section on soaps.[3][4]
In 2001, with the departure of Charlie Catchpole from the Daily Mirror to the Daily Express, Shelley became the new television critic for the Mirror.[4] He continued to write for the Mirror under its “Shelley Vision” column until 2011.[5][6] In 2012, he was shortlisted for the critic of the year award at The Press Awards.[7] Since 2013, he writes as a television review columnist for the Daily Mail.
In addition, Shelley has written for magazines such as Esquire, Details and BLITZ and was featured in NME.[6]
His collection of Tapehead columns was published as Interference: Tapehead vs. Television by Atlantic Books in 2001.
