* SPOILERS … AND A MOTHER LOAD OF WALKERS ALL WALKING YOR WAY AHEAD * “One must either take an interest in the human situation or else parade before the void.” (Jean Rostand) No prizes for guessing which side of the equation the walkers, and there are an Continue Reading
All of Matt Damon’s films in just 8 minutes? James Corden (The Late Late Show) can help you with that!
Can there be such a thing as too much Matt Damon? No, of course not – what a crazy thing to even ask! But should you not have a million hours in the day, and short of some Doctor Who-esque jiggery-pokery with timey-wimey, it’s unlikely you do, and Continue Reading
Catch up on The Walking Dead season 5 with this clever video recap where every walker knows your name
“They want to go where Walkers won’t eat their brains.” One of the appealing things about Cheers, which ran for 11 years from 1982-1993 and centred on a group of regulars at a Boston bar, was that everybody knew your name. You belonged, and had to a place to rest Continue Reading
Poster me this! The Flash (season 2), Sisters, Zootopia
I am a poster addict, a lover of visual promotion to an insanely devoted degree. There’s something so evocative about the messages conveyed by beautifully-crafted posters, and yes their sheer beauty.

Torchwood lives on: first series of audio adventures is out with more to come
The world is a dark place my friend and no one knew that better than the tortured souls of Torchwood, hidden beneath Cardiff and fighting aliens with thoroughly disagreeable motives at every turn. A spinoff of sorts from the 2005 revival of Doctor Who – the name is,of course, an Continue Reading
A perfectly funny show just got better: Bill Hader joins Brooklyn Nine-Nine
One of the most enjoyable ensemble sitcoms to come along in some years has been the Andy Samberg-starring Brooklyn Nine-Nine, set in the eponymous police precinct in Brooklyn, New York. What’s set it apart from the slew of half-baked sitcoms that come and go each season, and even some of Continue Reading
