Being Human: Puppy Love – Dork Review
This week on Being Human, love is in the air. And not just for werewolf Tom, as hinted brutally by the episode title, but even Hal is making a neurotic, confused attempt. Well, “making an attempt” might be misleading; it seems to be forced upon him. Nonetheless, romance is blooming. But is it … [Read more...]
Dirk Gently and the Secret Policeman’s Ball – What We’ve Been Watching
In December 2010, back when the What We've Been Watching column was in its toddling infancy, I wrote a word or two about the pilot episode of Dirk Gently, BBC Four's adaptation of the Douglas Adams detective series of the same name. The verdict was a tentative thumbs-up back then -- but how's the … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Judge, Jury, Executioner – Dork Review
This week on The Walking Dead: Our heroes have an ethical decision about life and death to make, and proceed to agonise over it at great length whilst standing around on a farm.

Particularly in the UK. It's an offbeat humour that doesn't rely on cultural references like Family Guy, but goes … [Read more...]
Being Human: Hold The Front Page – Dork Review
It’s hormones and cross-age antics in this week’s Being Human, as Adam The 47-Year Old Teenage Vampire returns to blur the line between adolescence and middle age. Last week’s episode was a bit disappointing, to tell the truth, so will some dirty jokes from reliable old Adam get us back on … [Read more...]
Dork Fashion Icons: Enid Coleslaw (Ghost World)
Enid Coleslaw is the ultimate comic book anti-heroine and one that's become something of a poster girl for geek chic with indie cred. In the Daria Morgendorffer mold, she's a witty, intelligent and cynical commentator on the world around her. Brought to life by Thora Birch in the 2001 adaptation, … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: 18 Miles Out – Dork Review
Last week, the walking idiots of The Walking Dead decided to rescue a kid with his leg trapped on a fence. This time, the bulk of the action is spent flapping around, nearly getting themselves killed whilst trying to tie off that loose end. Maybe next time, they’ll just not bother? … [Read more...]
The TARDIS Of Silly Walks
Well, this is a marriage made in geek chic heaven. Doctor Who inspired by Monty Python's Ministry Of Silly Walks. The design follows all of the Doctors and their walks, all the way up to the current Doctor - Matt Smith. I love the detail on this, down to each of the Doctor's profiles and … [Read more...]
