Trauma centres around the two leads who have entirely different family lives. Jon Allerton (Adrian Lester) is one of the leading hospital surgeons in London, with a happy wife and daughter and an affluent lifestyle, while Dan Bowker (John Simm) is about to be made redundant from a factory, and back to his comparative hovel […]
Once Removed is the third episode of Inside No.9 Series 4, and kicks off with an opening-and-a-half which leads to a situation which has to be seen to be believed, before the action heads back to ten minutes earlier.

Zanzibar is the name of the hotel in which the first episode of Inside No.9 Series 4 is set, and it looks at the residents on the 9th floor. It’s a difficult episode to describe because most of it centred around everyone talking at cross purposes, with situations getting confused between them all, and the […]
Tutankhamun – as well as a tale that’s been told a thousand times, it’s also the punchline of a childish joke: Q: How do you use an ancient Egyptian doorbell? A: Toot-and-come-in! If you laughed as you haven’t heard that before, and you’re over 5, then where have you been? Dom RobinsonReviewer of movies, videogames […]

The Go-Between is set in Norfolk, 1900, but begins in 1950 with the elderly Leo Colston (Jim Broadbent) lamenting in bucketfully. He wails (in his narration), “The past is a foreign country. They do things differently there.” He’s trying to hide the past, but realises he can never shake it off while it still haunts […]

Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag is the fourth game I’ve played in the series, following the original, which I couldn’t really get into as the fact that it kept jumping back to the present day and I found that very jarring; then 2011’s Assassins Creed Revelations which resolved a great deal of the issues I […]

The Devil’s Double begins with Latif Yahia (Dominic Cooper, below) being driven to meet one of Saddam Hussein’s sons, Uday. It soon becomes clear to us that they are more than just a little bit alike, not least because they are both played by the same actor. To the characters, they know each other already […]
The Round-Up is set in the France in July 1942, during the Second World War when the Nazis forced their occupation and, on Hitler’s order, rounded-up all the Jews to take them to internment camps, with death as their only eventual fate – something that none of them knew at the time, nor did the […]
