Since last we saw our heroes, The Walking Dead has undergone yet another personnel change. This show burns through staff as fast as zombies: showrunner Glen Mazzara has been killed off (metaphorically) due to “creative differences”.

Just as I start to love a show, the BBC cancel it… Being Human S5E2 – Dork Review
This week on Being Human, things take a surprisingly OTT turn, as Alex confronts the minions of the Devil, whilst Hal and Tom confront each other in a literal food fight.
