Cunk On Britain Episode 1 – The DVDfever Review
Posted by Dom Robinson on April 3rd, 2018
Cunk On Britain brings Diane Morgan‘s Philomena Cunk back to the small screen following her Worlds of Wonder segments on Charlie Brooker’s Weekly Wipe, and the subsequent Cunk on Shakespeare. I really enjoyed all of that, so was looking forward to this, but as it began it was all feeling a little too familiar. Dom […]
Black Mirror Series 5 – commissioned by Netflix
Posted by Dom Robinson on March 6th, 2018
Black Mirror Series 5 has been confirmed by Netflix as being commissioned, with a simple tweet that says nothing more than “The future will be brighter than ever” and a teaser which states “Be Right Back”, the title of the first episode of Series 2, starring Domhnall Gleeson and Hayley Atwell. No details on the […]

Posted by Dom Robinson on January 9th, 2018

Posted by Dom Robinson on January 7th, 2018
Metalhead is the fifth episode of Black Mirror Series 4 and takes place in an alternate society where, and is aiming for a Mad Max vibe, it’s set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland with scant dialogue, albeit shot in black and white. However, that last aspect is to its credit, as is how a film process […]

Posted by Dom Robinson on January 5th, 2018
Crocodile is the third episode of Black Mirror Series 4 and, initially, centres on Mia (Andrea Riseborough) and Rob’s (Andrew Gower) car accident, which leads to a situation they’d rather forget, and which they’d rather no-one else found out about.

Posted by Dom Robinson on December 31st, 2017
USS Callister is the first of six new episodes which comprise Black Mirror Series 4 and begins with a Star Trek spoof – where Jesse Plemons (Fargo Season 2) makes for quite an amusing Captain Kirk-a-like, presented in the show’s original 4:3-ish ratio. I say ‘ish’ because the whole thing is still within the 2.00:1 […]
