They Might be Giants are the band of choice for those of a geek bent – and have been since their formation back in 1982.

Doctor Who: The Doctor, The Widow And The Wardrobe – Dork Review
It's Christmas, and that means another festive-themed outing for Doctor Who. And after swiping A Christmas Carol last year, this time writer Steven Moffat is borrowing from less obvious source material.

Merlin: The Sword In The Stone – Part 2 – Dork Review
The finale of Merlin series 4 has been and gone, and as ever, it’s time to sit and reflect on how much they managed to accomplish in this space. Who lived? Who died?

Dork Adore Gift Guide: The Music Fan
Depending on your own taste in music, buying for a music fan is either a bit of a self-indulgent shopping dream, or hell on earth. Music fans have very high standards (some people may say snobbish, but y'know...) so it's a tough challenge. If you fall into the "hell on earth" category, we've put … [Read more...]
Misfits: Series 3, Episode 8 – Dork Review
The end of the year is upon us, which means it’s time for some proper action in Misfits. There will be sex, death and perhaps some dirty jokes. So, yeah, a normal week for this show, but there will be even more of that stuff. Honest. So, how satisfying was it? Was there enough Rudy for my liking? … [Read more...]
Merlin: The Sword In The Stone – Part One – Dork Review
This is it! Squee, gurgle, excited sounds! The first part of the Merlin series four finale. The rest of the year, or at least most of it, was merely prelude to this amazing two week blowout.
