After eight weeks, eight reviews, multiple new housemates and, yes, a surprising amount of positivity, it’s time for the Being Human finale review. What will happen? Will it be exactly what I’ve been predicting for the past three weeks, or merely a bit like it? And, more to the point, are there … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Beside The Dying Fire – Dork Review
Phew. The second season of The Walking Dead is almost over, after a final few episodes that seemed to stem from the writers waking up and thinking: “Wait, have we killed anyone all year? Except when we knocked off that little girl off-screen? No? Better get on that!” And so they have. Which... … [Read more...]
What to do until Game of Thrones is back
The new series of Game of Thrones starts on Sky Atlantic on 2nd April. If, like me, you can’t wait for your fix of the boys and girls of Westeros, I have some suggestions for you to make the time go a little quicker. Watch the trailers and pore over the pictures: It seems that every week, a new … [Read more...]
Being Human: Making History – Dork Review
It’s nearly all over for new Being Human, not to mention human civilisation, by the look of things. The Old Ones are coming, a future ghost version of Eve is kicking around, Hal has accidentally drunk some Evil Juice that turns him immediately Evil, it’s all going down this week. So what does … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Better Angels – Dork Review
It’s been a week since Dale took the title “The Walking Dead” to new heights of literalness, going for a wander late at night and getting a predictable hand-crafted zombie gutting. Surely, after knocking off a major character last week, they’ll give us a rest now? It must be time to all stand around … [Read more...]
Being Human: Puppy Love – Dork Review
This week on Being Human, love is in the air. And not just for werewolf Tom, as hinted brutally by the episode title, but even Hal is making a neurotic, confused attempt. Well, “making an attempt” might be misleading; it seems to be forced upon him. Nonetheless, romance is blooming. But is it … [Read more...]
Dirk Gently and the Secret Policeman’s Ball – What We’ve Been Watching
In December 2010, back when the What We've Been Watching column was in its toddling infancy, I wrote a word or two about the pilot episode of Dirk Gently, BBC Four's adaptation of the Douglas Adams detective series of the same name. The verdict was a tentative thumbs-up back then -- but how's the … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Judge, Jury, Executioner – Dork Review
This week on The Walking Dead: Our heroes have an ethical decision about life and death to make, and proceed to agonise over it at great length whilst standing around on a farm. And if that sounds like many season 2 episodes to you, yes, I know, me too. However, something big does happen towards … [Read more...]
Five Things To Do If You’re Missing Sherlock
Sherlock has been finished for a few weeks now, but based on our web stats (yes, we watch you), a lot of readers are still hungering for more material from the Holmes/Watson duo to pass the time until it returns. Since there’s no news yet of when Sherlock might be filming again, never mind … [Read more...]
Being Human: Hold The Front Page – Dork Review
It’s hormones and cross-age antics in this week’s Being Human, as Adam The 47-Year Old Teenage Vampire returns to blur the line between adolescence and middle age. Last week’s episode was a bit disappointing, to tell the truth, so will some dirty jokes from reliable old Adam get us back on … [Read more...]
