If you saw Bang Goes the Theory last week, you'll have been witness to a cockle-warming scene in which Jem Stansfield tried to build his own human-powered aircraft. It all seemed like fairly standard Bang Goes the Theory fare, right up until the end when Jem put his flying machine to the … [Read more...]
So long, Ceefax and Teletext
On Wednesday, the majority of the UK said goodbye to analogue TV, and cyberspace went in to mourning for information services Ceefax and Teletext. Martin O’Gorman of Xfm summed the loss up well when he tweeted, ‘RIP Ceefax. Gone the way of cassettes, 8-track and the ZX Spectrum.’ Amen. As … [Read more...]
Being Human: The War Child – Dork Review
After eight weeks, eight reviews, multiple new housemates and, yes, a surprising amount of positivity, it’s time for the Being Human finale review. What will happen? Will it be exactly what I’ve been predicting for the past three weeks, or merely a bit like it? And, more to the point, are there … [Read more...]
Being Human: Making History – Dork Review
It’s nearly all over for new Being Human, not to mention human civilisation, by the look of things. The Old Ones are coming, a future ghost version of Eve is kicking around, Hal has accidentally drunk some Evil Juice that turns him immediately Evil, it’s all going down this week. So what does … [Read more...]
Being Human: Puppy Love – Dork Review
This week on Being Human, love is in the air. And not just for werewolf Tom, as hinted brutally by the episode title, but even Hal is making a neurotic, confused attempt. Well, “making an attempt” might be misleading; it seems to be forced upon him. Nonetheless, romance is blooming. But is it … [Read more...]
Five Things To Do If You’re Missing Sherlock
Sherlock has been finished for a few weeks now, but based on our web stats (yes, we watch you), a lot of readers are still hungering for more material from the Holmes/Watson duo to pass the time until it returns. Since there’s no news yet of when Sherlock might be filming again, never mind … [Read more...]
Being Human: Hold The Front Page – Dork Review
It’s hormones and cross-age antics in this week’s Being Human, as Adam The 47-Year Old Teenage Vampire returns to blur the line between adolescence and middle age. Last week’s episode was a bit disappointing, to tell the truth, so will some dirty jokes from reliable old Adam get us back on … [Read more...]
Being Human: A Spectre Calls – Dork Review
After a few weeks of new Being Human cast bonding, with relatively little danger, it’s time for them to face their first actual threat. Can’t really dispute their logic– much as I enjoy the housemate banter, this isn’t a sitcom. So, here comes a manipulative ghost from the 1970s. But is the … [Read more...]
Being Human: The Graveyard Shift – Dork Review
After last week’s semi-pilot for new-look Being Human, this week it’s time to get on with life. And, for poor Vampire Hal, that means getting a job and joining the 9-5 grind so he can help keep baby Eve in nappies. Thank god Being Human’s vampires don’t burst into flames in sunlight, or these … [Read more...]
Being Human: Being Human 1955 – Dork Review
In New Being Human this week, it’s time to introduce vampire Hal, replacing for long-term bloodsucker Mitchell. Will he meet the same standards of handsome brooding, blood-sucking and looking a bit homeless? Or, after three years of Mitchell moping, will we finally get some entertainment? And can … [Read more...]
