And you though Knitler was the most evil soft toy: what about the Daleknit
Read post

So the internets have had a chance to watch the first episode of Season 4 of Doctor Who. And they all seem to be saying the following:
a) Catherine Tate wasn’t all that bad*
b) The episode was typical RTD sonic screwdriver fannydangle
c) ROSE!![…]

The New Phoo Avengers And Friends
Read post

BBC Three relaunched last night. Why exactly February the 12th was chosen for this auspicious debut I have no idea, except to note it was a pretty dead night on every other channel. Even Channel 4 didn’t counter-programme Skins against Phoo Act[…]

Is “Ashes To Ashes” Rubbish?
Read post

Or perhaps I mean – “How intentional is “Ashes To Ashes”‘ rubbishness?”
It’s an odd show, to say the least, this Life On Mars sequel thing (they’re calling it a ‘follow-up’, but it’s a[…]

Scary videos – Dir en Grey
Read post

Time to raise the stakes here on Freaky Trigger — before plunging them deep into your hearts — and get into some stuff that even Marilyn Manson might think twice about. Dir en Grey is a — what, thrashcore? — band from Japan wh[…]

Scary videos – Too Much Blood
Read post

In this run-up to the horror of post-Shrove Tuesday life, when we will all be down to fruit juice and morsels of pre-digested tofu — what do you mean, you don’t know what I’m talking about? — it is SCARY VIDEO time here at the[…]

The GerMan With The Maus
Read post

Elephants Not Suitable As Pets: SHOCKER
Read post

In proper old Web 1.0 fashion*, I thought it worthwhile to bring to your attention that the UK Government is ignoring a petition of 650 signatories and outlawing Elephants as pets. WELL 650 PEOPLE IS HARDLY GOING TO SWAY THEM IF THE IGNORED TWO MILL[…]

TV Maths 1: HONEST
Read post

I could spend some time describing the set-up of ITV’s new series Honest, and then spend a another paragraph telling you some of its stylistic quirks. But why bother when we have TV Maths at hand:
HONEST = SHAMELESS + ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT

Paul Morley, what is he good for?
Read post

Pop, What Is It Good For (BBC4, last night) was kind of the centrepiece of BBC4’s Giant Month O’ Pop and it was a rather interesting beast. Obviously an hour of Morley expounding on music is unlikely to be a bad thing, he’s one of […]

Hillary The Vampire Slayer
Read post

Terrific compare and contrast between the Republican electoral nominatees and the bad guys in Buffy The Vampire Slayer. It is amazing how far a couple of passing resemblances and a bit of satire can go. Fred Thompson as The Judge is tripply clever be[…]
