Outcasts: Series 1, Episode 5 – Dork Review

By

I’m not arrogant enough to believe the programme-makers read these flights of internet fancy, and even if they did, a show like Outcasts must be filmed so far in advance that it wouldn’t make a blind jot of difference. However. In last week’s review, I hoped for a storyline that didn’t revolve … [Read more...]

Being Human: Series 3, Episode 4 – Dork Review

By

Barging in with the force and velocity of a season finale, Episode 4, The Pack, was one of the most exhilarating Being Human episodes to date, rapidly weaving several plot lines and characters together, before spinning unsentimentally towards a tense and bloody climax. An episode of this quality … [Read more...]

Star Trek Mr Potato Heads

By

I don't think I've been this excited about the release of a toy in, well, ever. This August sees the release of the Star Trek: The Original Series Mr Potato Heads by PPW Toys, retailing at $30 a set (approximately £19).

How to become a supreme being

By

Are you a supreme being? If you had Mary Poppins's measuring tape, what would it say about you?

I'm always on the … [Read more...]

Being Human: Series 3, Episode 3 – Dork Review

By

Do you remember The Sixth Sense? I'll never forget the indignity I suffered at the final dénouement, as it transpired, shockingly, that Bruce Willis had spent the entire film with a gunshot wound the size of a teacup in his lower back. I had been too engrossed (or dim) to spot the silent treatment … [Read more...]

Outcasts and Madagascar: What We’ve Been Watching

By

I'm sure that one of the reasons I write for this most excellent of sites is because I'm the kind of girl who can't help but fall for a drama series that starts with a black, starry sky and a big old space ship gliding overhead. But it has to be said that, great cast, cool vistas and glossy camera … [Read more...]

Five of the best iPhone apps for cycling

By

Bicycling: it's good for your health, environmentally friendly and a much easier way to get around town without being stuck in a traffic jam (or stood under the armpit of an unpleasant smelling gentleman on the tube). But it's a pain in the arse if you get lost. Or get a puncture. Thankfully, … [Read more...]

Outcasts: Episodes 1 & 2 – Dork Review

By

The renaissance in British science fiction and fantasy TV continues with Outcasts, a new proper grown-up sci-fi series on primetime BBC1. It features much of what you’d expect: other planets, space-ships, special effects and a range of British actors you recognise from somewhere trying to deliver … [Read more...]
