It’s amazing the things people throw away: in our transient, must-have-the-biggest-brightest-newest society, the littlest imperfection consigns our goods to the rubbish tip. And that’s where treasure be found! I’m a great advocate of making something out of nothing. My little flat is … [Read more...]
Spooks – Series 10, Episode 5 – Dork Review
This is it: the penultimate Spooks review. Next week, ten years of spy melodrama comes to a (hopefully) explosive climax, and all they need do first is get us all excited in advance of the big bang. So do they manage it? Are we ready for the culmination of literally everything ever to happen in … [Read more...]
Merlin: The Wicked Day – Dork Review
To be honest, I feel the BBC tricked me with this episode of Merlin. I was prepared for upbeat fun after last week’s dark sobbery, but that wasn’t what I got at all. In some ways, this was an even bigger downer. Which I will be spoiling, by the way, so don’t read on if you don’t want to … [Read more...]
Sarah Jane Adventures: The Curse Of Clyde Langer – Dork Review
Now that the new character has been introduced, The Sarah Jane Adventures can get down to the serious business of child-friendly adventure.

Spooks: Series 10, Episode 4 – Dork Review
Every so often, Spooks dives into the headlines and confronts religious extremism directly in the face. Unfortunately, this show is a simple beast, determined to keep us all happy with soap opera and explosions, so these are not always the complex issue explorations they want to be. Well, it’s … [Read more...]
Merlin: The Darkest Hour – Part 2 – Dork Review
It’s the second part of the series opener in Merlin, and after last week’s flashforward shock, we’re settling back into a groove here. There’s Arthurian court intrigue, swordplay and, yes, an emotional moment at the end. (Which I’ll be spoiling later, so watch the episode first if you don’t want to … [Read more...]
Sarah Jane Adventures: Sky – Dork Review
Back for one more series, it’s The Sarah Jane Adventures. Of course, it’s in less than ideal circumstances after the death of Elisabeth Sladen in April, but I’m pleased to see the completed episodes are still being shown, both as a tribute to her talent and because, well, I really like this … [Read more...]
Dell Inspiron 15R and its choice of many covers
I've long been a fan of Dell, despite my growing collection of Apple products. The brand's laptops are reliable, quick and do exactly what you want them to do. Now, with the release of the Dell Inspiron 15R, you can make your laptop look good with a collection of snap on covers. … [Read more...]
Would I Lie To You, Show + Tell and Mock The Week… What We’ve Been Watching
It's not cool to like panel shows, and as a supporter of creative, doesn't-always-work-on-TV comedy, I know I'm meant to complain about the combative, macho atmosphere generated by the likes of Mock The Week. But sometimes, having funny people sitting around being funny is... well, just really … [Read more...]
