The Cry is certainly going to win awards… for being the most confusing drama of the year. This was instantly noticeable when the first episode opened with Jenna Coelman in two different timeframes, both facing the press, and as she leads on to say, “Everyone wants to look at you and judge you… look for […]

Mindhorn is a comedy which had me at ‘hello’ when I first saw the trailer, right before I was about to watch Free Fire, so I was gutted when the studio didn’t send enough prints round the UK, meaning my local Odeon (Trafford Centre) couldn’t show it. But now, it’s out on Blu-ray and DVD. […]

He plays Richard Thorncroft, the titular has-been British TV actor in the series, and in similar style to Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa, must work with […]

Trying to expose their discovery to the academic […]
Remainder stars Tom Sturridge as Tom, a man from London. Have you had a trip or fall, recently? Well, he’s certainly had an accident, as debris from above crashes down and puts him in a coma in hospital, to the extent that he has to learn everything from scratch including how to eat and walk. […]

Thirteen is the first drama commissioned for BBC3 as an online-only channel, yet like all of its new programmes they’re clearly contractually obliged to air on normal TV as well, so basically they’re getting a one-week advance screening online before being shown on the main two channels, with this one being broadcast on BBC2 on […]
