The misadventures of Doctor Gregory House have been over on UK TV for a full week. He’s been grumpy, misunderstood and, to be honest, just an arse. But, thanks largely to Hugh Laurie, he was never anything less than watchable, even when the show itself went a little off the rails. So how did the … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: Good As Gold – Dork Review
Just as I’d resigned myself to no more Doctor Who until autumn, the BBC have produced the latest winner of their Script To Screen competition: Good As Gold, the Olympic tie-in edition. So, this mini-episode was written by Britain’s school-children - does this mean I hold back on the critical … [Read more...]
Game of Thrones S2 E9 review: Blackwater
Phew! What a scorcher! Last night's episodes was Game of Thrones at its absolute best. This week was all about nail-biting action, drunk Queens armed with poison and an awful lot of green fire. Directed by Neil Marshall, who did the excelled Dog Soldiers, and the slightly less excellent … [Read more...]
House – The Finale & What To Do Afterwards!
As you may be aware, long-running medical monstrosity House is finishing up tonight on Sky One, and even though it might have passed its best, Hugh Laurie limping around barking terse one-liners is always watchable.

Game of Thrones S2 E8: The Prince of Winterfell review
This week's episode was brought to you by the C word. It was a funny old episode this week. In parts it was very slow-moving, feeling more like it was lining up the characters for the final act rather than telling a story. But in other ways it was thrilling, especially scenes involving Tyrion or … [Read more...]

It’s now back for a second … [Read more...]
Game of Thrones S2 E7 review: Man without Honour
This week, the Kingslayer committed murder without soiling his charisma and Jon Snow looked thoroughly perplexed.

Bang Goes the Theory: Jem makes a flying bicycle
If you saw Bang Goes the Theory last week, you'll have been witness to a cockle-warming scene in which Jem Stansfield tried to build his own human-powered aircraft. It all seemed like fairly standard Bang Goes the Theory fare, right up until the end when Jem put his flying machine to the … [Read more...]
Game of Thrones S2 E6: The Old Gods and The New review
This week, King Joffers failed to read the subtle cues coming from his subjects and a red-head sent Jon Snow into a tizzy. When it comes to panto villains, the Milky Bar King is Game of Thrones' reigning champion. It's all I can do not to start booing and hissing when he appears on screen. This … [Read more...]
