After a few years off, Torchwood is back to pass the time while we wait for the second half of Doctor Who. And it has been controversially Americanised too – whereas Who merely set a couple of episodes there, the new Torchwood is a co-production with the US channel Starz and (even more fanbaitingly) … [Read more...]
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 – Dork Review
So after seven feature films, ten years, a handful of young lives changed forever, millions of pounds spent - and made - and several directors, the Harry Potter series of films comes to a close with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. And it sure goes out with a bang. … [Read more...]
The What We’ve Been Watching Apprentice Update
There comes a point in every series of The Apprentice when we must sit back, pick our favourites to win, and really take the time to laugh at these fools properly. Now is that time people - it's the What We've Been Watching Apprentice Update. … [Read more...]
Primeval: Series 5, Episode 6 – Dork Review
The final new Primeval of 2011 brings us the climax of Philip’s evil plan, the culmination of the entire year and a chance to kill off a few dead weight characters? Surely that’s the only way to make it feel like the last 13 episodes mattered? So who lives? Who dies? Was the thing any good? … [Read more...]
Glastonbury 2011 and Wimbledon: What We’ve Been Watching
It's a 'blanket coverage' special this week and I'll be honest, this is among my favourite sort of telly. Live event TV, the possibility of pre-watershed sweariness, a cup of tea, and my Twitter stream ticking over - what more could a girl want for? … [Read more...]
Green Lantern – Dork Review
This is one of those gigs where, reviewing it after many already have, I find judgment has been done for me. Green Lantern, I am told reliably, is at best disappointing, at worst a green glowing turd. I mean, look at this one. That guy is furious. So should I be joining the rest of the internet … [Read more...]
Attack the Block – Dork Review
Is Attack the Block any good? Why, yes it is, says Anna Waits... Like any fan of the Saturday morning-brightening Adam and Joe, I've been looking forward to old Cornballs' first directorial outing Attack The Block for some time now, though I would have dug the premise -- a gang of South London kids … [Read more...]
Primeval: Series 5, Episode 5 – Dork Review
The central storyline of this year’s Primeval enters its final phase, with an unmistakable example of the species “first half of climactic two-parter”. Dinosaurs are running loose, including the first T-Rex for some time, and, yes, Evil Philip Burton’s masterplan reaches its zenith. So will he … [Read more...]
Horrible Histories and King Of…: What We’ve Been Watching
When Horrible Histories beat the truly excellent third series of Armstrong and Miller to the Best Sketch Show gong at the Comedy Awards last year, I was a bit miffed. Surely people were just being nice because it happened to be a bit better than your average kids' show? Nope. Turns out it's just … [Read more...]
Primeval: Series 5, Episode 4 – Dork Review
For the whole of series four and five (which, to be honest, are a single thirteen-episode run), Primeval has been drawing out a storyline involving the clearly evil scientist Philip Burton and whether he is evil. Well, this week they’re finally ready to talk about it. So will this be long-awaited … [Read more...]
