Professor Brian Cox is one of those ultra-annoying people who are just TOO cool. He was in a chart-topping band associated with a dawn of a new political era (that'd be D "Things can only get better" Ream) and now he's forged a second - and let's face it, even cooler - career as a top physicist. … [Read more...]
Dork Review: Being Human series 2 – The End
Over the course of two series, Being Human has been balancing its co-existing halves, much like the characters within. The funny flatshare soap, pitted against the gothic fantasy. Neither the show nor its leads have always succeeded in this schizo-juggling, but it’s always been captivating viewing, … [Read more...]
Astro Boy gets the amigurumi crochet treatment
The latest animated series to get a big screen makeover is Astro Boy, a sort of modern take on the Pinocchio story. The film follows Astro Boy, a robot created to replace the son of a scientist who died in a tragic accident, rejected for his lack of emotions. The original Japanese Manga TV series … [Read more...]
iMote Kid Friendly Remote Control
Young kids and cable TV is a combination asking for trouble. Sure, it's got a ton of kids channels to keep them occupied, but leaving a child in the possession of the TV controller may lead to them flicking from CBeebies to the far less educational Babestation (or educational in a whole new … [Read more...]
Doctor Who – The End Of Tennant
So that's it. No more Tennant. Off he goes to America, burning up the TARDIS as he goes and leaving us Nu-Whovians with nothing more than the box-sets to keep us company. Perhaps we will warm to Eleven, the young Matt Smith, but for now, let us mourn the passing of Ten in sombre silence. Or a … [Read more...]

Doctor Who craft, crochet and cooking
Crafty geekness is nothing new to us at Dork Adore. We've already looked at how you can make Bella's gloves in Twilight and found some Where the Wild Things Are crochet patterns. Doctor Who fans take geek crafting to a whole new level, thanks to the hundreds of characters and monsters that … [Read more...]
In praise of Beautiful People
As much as I love telly in all its forms and genres it has to be said that, especially recently, shows have had a tendency to sort of morph into one. Reality TV is the best example of this, of course, with The X-Factor taking its audition rounds into theatres to make it more like Britain's Got … [Read more...]
Doctor Who Dreamland. Will you be watching?
This weekend, Doctor Who's animated TV series starts. You'll be able to catch the show on the Red Button on on the BBC website from Saturday. The six-part show features two new companions and an awful lot of pretty blocky looking animation. It's possible to argue that the animation is … [Read more...]
Castle and Breaking Bad: TV made by geeks, for geeks
Last week, I watched possibly the geekiest ten minutes of television ever. In the Hallowe'en episode of Castle, Nathan Fillion's breezy detective series, Fillion spent the first act dressed as his much-missed Firefly/Serenity character, Mal Reynolds. “Didn't you wear that five years ago?” his … [Read more...]
