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...]

Coogan & Brydon, Wallace & Gromit and Armstrong & Miller: What We’ve Been Watching

Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon have teamed up for the second time following on from the mostly excellent A Cock and Bull Story (dragged a bit, didn't it?); Wallace and Gromit are putting their window cleaning and humane … [Read more...]
Spooks: Series 9, Episode 8 – Dork Review
After eight nailbiting episodes, the BBC’s Spooks has ended its ninth series.
