The Casual Vacancy Episode 3 finally puts itself out of its misery, and a good job too as, quite frankly, over the course of these three weeks I could’ve pulled a better story out of my arse! Howard and Miles are fussing over the vandalism on the front of the former’s pie shop, adorned with […]
Fortitude Episode 6 starts with a flashback, jumping a few episodes back to when Frank was having it away with Elena. Jules is seen heading out without a hat on, and is chanced upon by Henry, who insists frostbite can severely knacker your ears and wants her to take his hat because he doesn’t live […]
Hardware is set out in the sticks, or what would pass for the sticks amongst a desolate planet. Moses Baxter (Dylan McDermott) finds and brings home the head of a defective maintenance droid, found out in the Zone by a Nomad, also known as a Zone Runner, since his better half, Jill (Stacey Travis), makes […]
Critical is the first new series from former doctor Jed Mecurio since Line of Duty, which saw its second series air on BBC2 in March last year, but he’s also responsible for the wonderful Cardiac Arrest and Bodies, plus the amusing The Grimleys. So, you can depend on him to come up with the goods, […]
The Legacy centres around Veronika Grønnegaard (Kirsten Olesen), a celebrated artist who goes into a flower shop to order five bouquets. There may be some order in her chaos, but her whole house looks like a state as it’s one big workshop for her varying and, rather random, sculptures and artworks. She’s clearly a bit […]
The Casual Vacancy Episode 3 finally puts itself out of its misery, and a good job too as, quite frankly, over the course of these three weeks I could’ve pulled a better story out of my arse!
Howard and Miles are fussing over the vandalism on the front of the former’s pie shop, adorned with the election poster for the latter, with the added scrawl, “I like soapy tit-wanks”.
Fortitude Episode 6 starts with a flashback, jumping a few episodes back to when Frank was having it away with Elena. Jules is seen heading out without a hat on, and is chanced upon by Henry, who insists frostbite can severely knacker your ears and wants her to take his hat because he doesn’t live far away and can make it home without it. She refuses, but since she’s wearing a big parka jacket, WHY DIDN’T SHE JUST PULL HER BLOODY HOOD UP!!?!???
Ode to a lack of House of Fools tonight… is my ode to erm.. well, you know.
I love House of Fools starring Vic Reeves, Bob Mortimer and Matt Berry, to name but three, but… it’s not on tonight because of Let’s Play Darts For Comic Relief!
So I therefore sang a song in the style of Beef (Matt Berry’s character)…
House of Fools will return next Monday on BBC2 at 10pm.
Leonard Nimoy, the Star Trek legend, as well as an accomplished writer and director in his own right, sadly passed away on Friday afternoon. He lives long and he prospered…
Fans and friends around the world were saddened to learn of this news, including the makers of the fantastic space-trading game Elite Dangerous, and Frontier’s executive producer Michael Brookes has announced that a new station will be added to the orbit of the planet Vulcan, system LHS-3006.
Ellie Goulding stays at No.1, in the UK Top 100 Music Chart w/e March 7th 2015, with Love Me Like You Do, taken from the recent big cinema release, Fifty Shades of Grey, and it’s a drippy power ballad without any real power.
There’s just one new entry in the Top 10: a No.7 for Kelly Clarkson with Heartbeat Song, while Madonna took at a tumble at The Brits while singing her no.26 hit Living For Love. Certainly didn’t inspire anyone to buy the record in great numbers!

Hardware is set out in the sticks, or what would pass for the sticks amongst a desolate planet. Moses Baxter (Dylan McDermott) finds and brings home the head of a defective maintenance droid, found out in the Zone by a Nomad, also known as a Zone Runner, since his better half, Jill (Stacey Travis), makes a living putting sculptures together and this piece would complete the picture nicely. Big mistake.
The setting for Hardware isn’t a dodgy ITV sitcom from 2003 with cardboard sets and unfunny jokes, but is actually a post-apocalyptic future world teeming with radiation and this particular type of government project droid, codenamed Mark 13, never came to fruition because it was deemed to malfunction – and how!
Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, Pedro Almodóvar‘s 1988 critically-acclaimed movie starring Carmen Maura and Antonio Banderas, has now been turned into a West End musical, and stars Tamsin Grieg (BBC TV series, Episodes) and Sarah Moyle (BBC’s Doctors and Sean Penn’s new movie, The Gunman).
Following the Tony Award nominated production of Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown on Broadway in 2010, the show arrives on the West End for a limited season at the Playhouse Theatre.
Frozen Fever – yes, it never ends. Make it stop!
On Anna’s birthday, Elsa and Kristoff are determined to give her the best celebration ever, but Elsa’s icy powers may put more than just the party at risk.
This 7-minute short will premiere before the new Cinderella movie in the cinemas, and features the voices of Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, Idina Menzel and Josh Gad.
Although not yet confirmed, expect Frozen Fever to be released on March 27th in the UK, the same date as Cinderella.

Ana Maria In Novela Land stars Edy Ganem as the titular heroine who is having a bad day until she magically switches places with the main character of her favorite telenovela. As she struggles to escape from Novela Land, Ana Maria finally understands why her real life was such a mess.
The film also stars Mercedes Mason, Sung Kang, Luis Guzmán, Tamara Taylor, and Elizabeth Peña, for whom this was sadly her last film as she died in October last year from cirrhosis of the liver.
It was directed by Georgina Riedel, who also co-wrote with Jose Nestor Marquez, and is basically another body swap comedy in the style of Freaky Friday. It looks okay, but since the trailer goes on for three minutes, I feel like I’ve seen the whole film already! How long do trailers need to be??
Ana Maria In Novela Land is released this weekend in the US, but hasn’t yet got a UK release date. I’m not wholly sold on the premise but as it’s the final film for Elizabeth Peña, it’ll have to be a must-see.

A major trauma is due in via the helipad, and everyone is gearing up with their best “serious” face, the cast featuring the token fat lad with a chewing gum fixation, the token Indian doctor, the token newbie, the token bossy boss, and so on.
