If you have a funky, eclectic style like me, you're always looking for something that'll light up your space; literally. And I'm not talking about the gaudy side lamp Aunt Milly gave you for your birthday. No. What I'm talking about -- my dorky devotees -- is the future of home decor. Here is … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: Series Six – Dork Preview
The return of Doctor Who on Saturday is being anticipated with a pleasingly messianic fervour. Even in America, where they think we’re silly and quaint, the Doctor’s oh-so-British antics have been embraced. So much so that the they're airing the episode on the same date as the UK (I'm not bitter) … [Read more...]
Etsy Finds: Prim and Plush amigurumi molecules

Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith
So, I was scheduled to do a post in advance of Saturday’s new Doctor Who series. I was going to be excited about upcoming reviews, describe my ludicrously high expectations, all the stuff you might expect.

The Animal’s Guide To Britain and more Rhod Gilbert: What We’ve Been Watching
Those who follow this humble WWBW column will know that my particular dorkiness tends to display itself in the fact that I freaking love a nature show.

Fortunately for the nacho/guacamole industry, they are hitting a South London … [Read more...]

Filthy Cities and Campus: What We’ve Been Watching
When I was little, I remember there being a craze for scratch and sniff cards to go along with TV programmes. A very short one, admittedly, but a craze nonetheless. It was exciting (for a seven year old), but I have to say, I didn't expect to see it come back... especially not with a show like … [Read more...]
Sucker Punch – Dork Review
Many of my previous film reviews have been of massively acclaimed Oscar-contender movies, where I could only add to a deafening praise chorus. Here, reviewing Sucker Punch, I have the opposite problem: everyone hates it. I mean, look at those review scores, not to mention the mocking I received … [Read more...]
Top of the Pops night and Rhod Gilbert’s Work Experience: What We’ve Been Watching
BBC Four indulged in a real nostalgia-fest last Friday with its Top of the Pops night, consisting of clips, documentaries and even a full episode from 1st April 1976. You might say it's easy programming that just relies on the warm, fuzzy feeling generated by nothing more than the reaction "naww, I … [Read more...]
