So, this week’s Doctor Who was certainly a game-changer. The ongoing crack-in-time storyline took another step forward, and something horrible happened to a regular cast member, all of which I’ll be elaborating upon later.

Five ways libraries need to improve their internet offerings
I recently moved house and, while this entailed dealing with a whole litany of woes, the most damaging to my emotional and mental health was the loss of internet. Of course, you’re supposed to be able to move properties and have your web juice redirected without a hitch these days, but it doesn’t … [Read more...]
Doctor Who – The Hungry Earth review
This week in Doctor Who, the Time Lord faces the return of an old and deadly foe: Some soil! See our hero fighting dirt! Be disappointed when he fails to produce a sonic trowel! Sorry, that was unfair, much like reviewing the first half of a two-parter on its own. The Hungry Earth is not entirely … [Read more...]
Ashes To Ashes: 5 questions the final two-parter must answer!

Is Avatar’s Tree Of Souls in Hyde Park worth seeing?
To coincide with Monday’s DVD release of James Cameron’s blue-skinned elf-fest, an “installation” of Avatar’s Tree Of Souls was to be erected in Hyde Park over the weekend until the 26th April. It would apparently be interactive, fibreoptic, iPhone compatible, shiny, modern and shiny. Since I had … [Read more...]

You know you're a child of the 80s if you....spent hours addicted to the platform game Lemmings.

Dork Review: Kick-Ass (The Movie)
When sitting down to write a review of the movie Kick-Ass, I labour in the shadow of a mighty forerunner. I speak, of course, of the Daily Mail review from last Friday. In terms of sheer entertainment value, there’s no way I can compete with a review that leads off with “Verdict: … [Read more...]
