The Walking Dead: Guts – Dork Review
The second episode of The Walking Dead sees the show lumber onwards, barely missing a step. We rejoin our hero exactly where we left him, and soon a bunch of new survivors join in. Which is good, as although I like Andrew Lincoln, a whole series of him staring dejectedly would’ve got old. So, … [Read more...]
Misfits: Series 2, Episode 1 – Dork Review
After a busy year, in which they won a BAFTA and suchlike, E4’s Misfits is back! The Skins/Heroes hybrid turned out to be better than any of us expected, and has been rewarded accordingly. The new series, happily, picks up where the last one left off, with hardened smart-arse Nathan accidentally … [Read more...]
Sarah Jane Adventures: Lost In Time – Dork Review
This week’s Sarah Jane Adventures finds our heroes coming their closest yet to becoming miniature version of Doctor Who.

The Walking Dead: Days Gone Bye – Dork Review
Possibly the most eagerly awaited TV series debut of the year, certainly in dork circles, it’s The Walking Dead. Based on the popular Image Comics series by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard, it’s a classic zombie apocalypse chronicle. And with showrunning by Frank Darabont (him of … [Read more...]
Misfits – Series Two Is Coming
The new series of Misfits is almost here, starting on E4 on Thursday 11th November. Which means more unvarnished super-power abuse, twisted humour and, somehow, weirdly touching moments. I personally enjoyed the hell out of that show, as indicated by the impassioned ode to Misfits that I posted … [Read more...]
Sarah Jane Adventures: The Empty Planet – Dork Review
There have been a few cast trimmings in The Sarah Jane Adventures this year, but they take the cull to extremes this week, when Clyde and Rani find themselves not only Sarah Jane’s last remaining kid sidekicks, but the last people on the planet. So can the kids carry the story? Or will the curse … [Read more...]
Spooks: Series 9, Episode 7 – Dork Review
This is what we’ve been building up to for the whole ninth series of Spooks. Lucas North’s nervous breakdown finally hits critical mass, and Harry has to wrestle with the fact that “John” simply isn’t an exciting enough name for his section chief. Meanwhile, incredibly, there’s time for a whole … [Read more...]
