The North – More Aliens Than Mars? Doctor Who S7BE6 – Dork Review
This week's Doctor Who features one of the rarest, most alien settings of all: a British town outside London! Well, that's not quite fair, the show has become less London-centred since Steven Moffat took over, but still, the North is a rare destination for the TARDIS. As well as Yorkshire, other … [Read more...]
Babyzen YOYO – a carry-on buggy that comes with lashings of smug
Once you've served your obligatory time hauling your new baby round in a giant travel wagon, it's time to park up the the 3-in-1 system and downsize to a more manoeuvrable stroller.

Good Is Bad, Bad Is Good, Sansa Is Insipid. Game of Thrones S3E5 – Dork Review
One reason we love Game of Thrones: it doesn't conform to a simple good guys/bad guys set-up. Yes, it started off as Nice Starks versus Naughty Lannisters, but as the seasons rolled by, we've found many of the Lannisters seem reasonable enough in their own way, whereas the Starks are prone to … [Read more...]

The TARDIS Brings A New Meaning To “Changing Rooms”… Doctor Who S7BE5 – Dork Review
For most sci-fi shows, an episode entirely set on-board the lead character's spaceship would be an excuse to save some money and work entirely off existing sets and actors. Probably not so much Doctor Who, since we normally see one room of the allegedly infinite TARDIS, so a bunch of new sets and … [Read more...]
Serving the twin gods of violence and witty banter, it’s Game of Thrones S3E4 – Dork Review
