Well, it took a lot longer than I thought and there’s still a little tweaking to do but we finally have most of the old reviews back online. Some newer reviews seem to have gone missing and there’s still some graphic design to do but I think it’s at the point where I can concentrate […]

What can be said about this excellent television series from the BBC? It is an outstanding re-invention of the classic sci-fi show.
This disc sees The Doctor (David Tennant) and Rose (Billie Piper) travel to Scotland where they must protect Queen Victoria from a werewolf, followed by a quick jaunt to the present day where there’s […]

After recording it twice and having technical problems both times I decided to shelve podcast #37 but if I get time over the next couple of days I might put up the bits I can salvage as a special edition just so the stuff we did record does’t go completely to waste.
Meanwhile, I’ve posted a […]

I had seen and heard a few negative reviews about this film so I was expecting the worst and was pleasantly surprised by something that turned out to be one of the best films I have seen this year.

Extras tells the story of Andy Millman, an actor who never seems to be able to get past being an extra. On the plus side, he never forgets his lines because he never has any. He’s been an actor for five years but thanks to his totally useless agent (Stephen Merchant) he has never actually […]
