Dyson has announced a new tool for its vacuums, and it's focussed on our furry friends. The Dyson Groom Tool, which looks like a fancy dog brush (because it is), fits on the hose of most of the models in the Dyson range.

Five lovely necklaces for boffins
If you know me, you'll know I'm a scientist because I'm enough of a dork about it that I tend to tell everybody I meet. So, the idea of wearing some science round my neck for all the world to see got me very excited. These science equipment necklaces (£6.99 each from Finest Imaginary) are the … [Read more...]

Buzzcocks, X Factor and mind-blowing illusions: What We’ve Been Watching
I still can't believe that Never Mind The Buzzcocks is into its 14th year and 24th series: I was eleven years old when it started, isn't that incredible? And despite all the various line-up changes, I've consistently loved it and it's no different now, with Noel Fielding and the ever-present Phill … [Read more...]
Merlin: The Castle Of Fyrien – Dork Review

It’s time for “Protect the peace talks”, a Spooks plot that dates back to the dark ages.

Sarah Jane Adventures: The Nightmare Man – Dork Review
Warm, comforting Sarah Jane Adventures returns to our screens, and proves not to be as relaxingly constant as I’d hoped. This opening two-parter brings the debut of a new villain and, surprisingly, a change to the status quo. As you may have seen, I wrote an entry the other day about why Sarah … [Read more...]
The Sarah Jane Adventures – It’s Not Just For Kids
Three years ago, The Sarah Jane Adventures began, as the second spin-off from the BBC’s Doctor Who juggernaut. It featured Sarah Jane Smith, a Who companion from the seventies, fighting evil alongside a group of young sidekicks. The series became one of the Beeb’s most successful children’s … [Read more...]
Merlin: The Crystal Cave – Dork Review
After a couple of weeks sneering impotently behind the King, Evil Morgana finally strikes in this week’s Merlin. Things take a turn for the even worse when our gangly hero makes a schoolboy error: paying heed to a bearded stranger spouting prophecies in the woods. So it’s a serious outing this … [Read more...]
