I have loved Torchwood since I rushed to see it’s first episode the moment the good folks at Dr Who announced they were doing the first of what’s become a flood of spin offs (most not aimed at my demographic, sometimes not even Dr Who it seems these days, thank Continue Reading

This is one very funny sitcom. Not cutting edge granted but when did all comedy have to be avant garde to be entertaining and wildly funny? And Miranda Hart’s show about a geeky, slightly ungainly ‘big and long’ singleton trying to find love while she navigates relationships with wacky friends Continue Reading

  It is no secret that I adore in almost equal measure both The Muppets and the sitcom Community (well if you’re inside my head anyway which thankfull for you, you’re not). So imagine my utter pop culture-loving, nerdy joy when these two culture treasures combined recently with the appearance Continue Reading

So excited that Community has started filming season 3 – due to hit US screens in September – and to kick things off in style, some wag at the offices (this photo comes courtesy of Joel McHale’s Twitter feed) acknowledged their unforgiveable Emmys snub in the best way possible: In Continue Reading

Lots of people are, and with a new CD out, the excitement levels only bound to spike still higher. Lady Gaga, who’s music I quite like, has quite the talent for re-invention and creativity, much like the woman who’s career she models herself on, Madonna, and in the lead up Continue Reading

While the plays souns outrageously profane, and the playbill featured a leather harness clad muscle hottie, the plays themselves while witty and clever, weren’t nearly as salacious as we’d been led to believe. My friend Peter Continue Reading

I am not a massive fan of hype. Odd you may think since we extrovert creative types generally all the over boiled melodrama we can get our hands on, feast on it for months till the marrow is all sucked dry, and then moe on to the next over wrought Continue Reading

  This was the first of my Open Air Cinema movies for the year – the Open Air Cinema is, as it’s name suggests, a cinema in the great outdoors; well not so much the great outdoors as it is Mrs Macquarie’s Chair in Sydney’s Botanic Gardens but it doesn’t Continue Reading

I am pretty sure you can’t really do that, but McGyver can! Home from work today recuperating from all the crazy dental work I had done yesterday, I switched on GO! while I ate my scrambled eggs and pudding (not together, although possibly not completely gross), and while I dismantled Continue Reading
