Merlin: Arthur’s Bane – Part 2 – Dork Review
Merlin is back for the second half of its series premiere, and you know their tricks by now. I'm not going to list them in this intro though, as they are kinda spoilers. So, is “Arthur's Bane” a hulking Batman villain with a sideways goatse on his face? Or something more insidious? And what's up … [Read more...]

Doctor Who: The Angels Take Manhattan – Dork Review
After four episodes of build-up, it’s time for Amy and Rory Pond to leave Doctor Who.

Which board game would Sherlock play?
Duh. It's obviously got to be Cluedo. Well, he was hardly going to have the sense of humour for a game of Cranium or Kerplunk, was he?

Doctor Who: A Town Called Mercy – Dork Review
Last time: dinosaurs. This week, Doctor Who hits another trope: the Western.

Doctor Who: Dinosaurs on a Spaceship – Dork Review
For the second week running, Doctor Who serves up an episode where the pitch is contained within the title (Dinosaurs on a Spaceship). But unlike Asylum of the Daleks, this one really does stick to the confines of that one-liner. There’s these dinosaurs, right, and they’re on a spaceship. So it’s … [Read more...]
Why I no longer watch TV
I don't want any of you to think that I am the kind of person who doesn't own a TV set or who thinks that watching TV is a waste of time or is bad for your health. I am definitely not! There are plenty of shows that I love, and – thanks to my other half – I have a TV that is bigger than the … [Read more...]
