It's still August (just) and we're already onto The X Factor. What next? The return of Autumnwatch, Strictly competing for our attention and the first crappy chocolate of advent? It's all a lot closer than you think... … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: Let’s Kill Hitler – Dork Review
It’s back! It’s back! Doctor Who is on television again, and after weeks of reviewing Torchwood, you have no idea how happy this makes me. The Doctor and Ponds hit 1930s Germany, and to be honest, Hitler is the least of their troubles. But still, I did mutter some dissent towards the end of the … [Read more...]
Torchwood: Miracle Day – Episode 7 – Dork Review
Much of Torchwood: Miracle Day has been derided, here and elsewhere, for moving slowly. “When is something going to happen?”, people said. “Isn’t this just repeating itself?

Thankfully, I fall into the latter category, otherwise these reviews would … [Read more...]
Is the very expensive E>One laser hair removal gadget any good?
There's a constant war of attrition going on between me and my extensive range of body hair. If I'm not epilating, waxing or shaving, I'm probably just leaving it all to lie fallow in the hope that a sudden gust of wind won't reveal the thermal layer of leg hair hidden under my maxi dress. But … [Read more...]

Torchwood: Miracle Day – Episode 5 – Dork Review
This week on Torchwood: Miracle Day, Oswald Danes takes centre stage at a rally, whilst the Torchwood crew break into an obvious death camp set up by the big evil corporation.
