If it hadn’t been for my webserver’s fit of the sulks, I’d have posted this last night. But here we go with the first episode of the fourth series of the revived Doctor Who, or the 30th overall, if you prefer to look at it that way. For reasons best known to the BBC, it […]

You may have been wondering what happened to my usual habit of commenting on each episode of Torchwood. Well, I found I just wanted to watch and enjoy rather than taking notes, which would have made writing anything other than vague or incoherent babblings quite impossible.[1]
Anyway, Series Two of Torchwood has just finished, and err, […]

I mentioned Ashes to Ashes after the first episode went out, and now the series has come to an end, it’s time to have a look at the whole thing…
It had its ups and downs - some of the time, it felt like the programme makers weren’t sure what they were trying to create. Given […]

Regular readers[1] might have been wondering if I was going to follow up my review of the first episode of the series. Well, I did start taking my usual notes, but after a couple of episodes, I realised that I was just going to end up with another backlog of unfinished reviews, and more to […]

You might recall me wittering about Life on Mars, which was one of the best things to happen to TV drama in a very long time. It was so successful that the Powers of the BBC wanted more, which presented a bit of a problem. How do you follow up a show where all the […]

Well, it’s been just over a month since I had the V+ box installed, so I thought it might be a good time to post an update on how I’m getting on with it.
In the first couple of days, it seemed to reset itself a couple of times. And on another occasion, it lost sound […]

Yaaaaaaaaay!! Series two of Torchwood starts at 9pm tonight on BBC2. Trails are running on TV and radio. The radio ones are nice, because you get to hear some great lines completely devoid of context. So coming up will be such delights as:
Excuse me, have you seen a blowfish driving a car?
I catch aliens!
Aliens? In […]

After a little bit of scene-setting involving a bowling ball disappearing into a strange sparkly thing anomaly[1] and coming out somewhen else, we rejoin Nick Cutter and his colleagues where we left them at the end of the last series. If you have no idea what I’m going on about, you might want to click […]

You might recall me getting quite enthusiastic about Primeval last year - that was the show with the strange sparkly things anomalies, a nice collection of prehistoric nasties and one future nasty. The whole thing was great fun and featured some of the best clichés ever seen on British television. Anyway, the good news it […]

As I hinted on Friday, I have a new toy from those Virgin Media people. V+ is the latest name for what used to be called TV Drive (or something like that). It’s a replacement for my old digital cable box with some rather tasty extra features. The key one is that it’s a hard […]
