Buzzcocks, X Factor and mind-blowing illusions: What We’ve Been Watching
I still can't believe that Never Mind The Buzzcocks is into its 14th year and 24th series: I was eleven years old when it started, isn't that incredible? And despite all the various line-up changes, I've consistently loved it and it's no different now, with Noel Fielding and the ever-present Phill … [Read more...]
The best Pac-Man products
Image by Elliot Li via Flickr Remember a little earlier this year, when Google dedicated their Google Doodle to Pac-Man? That particular Google Doodle was so popular that a study by Rescue Time estimated that playing it led to five million hours of wasted work time. It's a testament to the … [Read more...]
Merlin: The Castle Of Fyrien – Dork Review
In the old days of Merlin, the whole gang used to go on adventures all the time. Scarcely a week passed, it seemed, when they weren’t sneaking around behind the adults’ backs to save a small child or something. That hasn’t happened for a while, so it’s nice to see an episode in that vein. Of … [Read more...]
The best Halloween outfits
Halloween. A time when children dress up as cute little pumpkins and witches, teenage girls put together a 'costume' that merges scary with slutty, and grown ups desperately attempt to create something that looks cool and yet effortless. No doubt this year's ghoulish festivities will be primarily … [Read more...]
The Provo Craft Cuttlebug: Dork Review
I know it sounds like some sort of scuttly creature, but the Cuttlebug from Provo Craft is actually a rather swish machine for die cutting and embossing paper. The machine comes pretty much ready to go -- all you have to do is attach the handle. The instructions are very clear and the user manual … [Read more...]
Sarah Jane Adventures: The Vault Of Secrets – Dork Review
Having unexpectedly made big cast changes in last week’s “Nightmare Man”, the gang get down to the business of alien-fighting in Sarah Jane Adventures this time. Good job too, as this one features both a new alien and the return of a big nemesis from last year. Aside from that, there’s more … [Read more...]
The Social Network – Dork Review
According to every review on the internet, as well as aggregators like Rotten Tomatoes, new Facebook-founding movie The Social Network is some kind of a masterpiece. Even the calmer critics acknowledge it’s an extremely good film. So, much like when I wrote my review of Inception, I won’t be … [Read more...]
Spooks: Series 9, Episode 5 – Dork Review
It’s time for “Protect the peace talks”, a Spooks plot that dates back to the dark ages. It exists in many forms, including “Protect the state visit” and “Protect the sensitive meeting”, but the point is that some international occasion happens in London, so our MI5 heroes are pressed into working … [Read more...]
PURE Orla Kiely DAB digital radio
We don't listen to the radio that much in my house. I blame this entirely on the lack of beautiful radios, rather than my penchant for trashy intellectually stimulating TV programs. This could all change now with PURE's collaboration with Orla Kiely in creating a new DAB radio. The DAB radio, … [Read more...]
