Dracula 2020… okay, so it’s just Dracula, but then if you have several reviews called ‘Dracula’, it really doesn’t help in terms of Google rankings, so here we are. Anyhoo, this new series stars Claes Bang as the Count, and is set in 1897, where English lawyer Jonathan Harker (John Heffernan) travels to Transylvania to […]

Martin’s Close is subtitled “A Ghost Story For Christmas“, and is directed and adapted for TV by Mark Gatiss, from the original story by MR James. Set in 1684, the Martin in question is John Martin (Wilf Scolding), who’s on trial for murder, allegedly having bumped off a woman called Anne Clark (Jessica Temple) by […]
Good Omens poses the opener that you might’ve thought that the universe began 14 billion years ago, and the Earth, 4.6bn years ago, but this series confirms that it all began on Sunday 21st October 4004 BC, at 9am… Sounds plausible. Whatever you believe, God is a woman – voiced by Frances McDormand, and Earth […]

Christopher Robin is… hang on, haven’t we already had this? Okay, so that was Goodbye Christopher Robin, but why do we always get two films in quick succession about a particular subject that no-one’s been too fussed about for a while? I first remember coming across this in 1991 with Patrick Bergin’s Robin Hood, and […]
Twice Upon A Time sees The First Doctor – played originally by William Hartnell, but here by David Bradley – in his final story arc, The Tenth Planet, leaving for the TARDIS in the South Pole, refusing to regenerate… but if he doesn’t, then the next, nor even the Twelfth Doctor cannot exist. Hence, this […]

The League of Gentlemen is something I never got into back in the day. I couldn’t watch the first two series thanks to the canned laughter (when they take audience laughs from another part of a recording to use elsewhere, to pep up the laugh track, that may as well be canned!) So, when I […]

Gunpowder is centred around the 1605 Gunpowder plot, as Guy Fawkes wants to blow up the Houses of Parliament. However, this three-parter begins in 1603, at which point Elizabeth I has died, and James I has taken over, although it doesn’t take long before everyone wants HIM dead, too… as if any further replacements would […]

Against the Law centres around as Peter Wildeblood (Daniel Mays) in a drama based on his autobiography, and as part of BBC’s Gay Britannia season, about how it’s 50 years this year since it was rightly legalised to be homosexual. However, what I did learn from this drama, is that the law could’ve been put […]

Empress of Mars is the title of this 9th episode in series 10 of ‘new-Who’ and is also the title bestowed upon Iraxxa, the Ice Warrior Queen. After a pointless opening sequence where, on Earth, the Doctor learns that the Valkyrie device probes Martian ice caps, to see under the poles and beam back pictures […]
