Doctor Who: Forest of the Dead
Sunday, June 8th, 2008I’d been struggling for a way to say how glad I was they didn’t fluff part two of the Doctor Who story last night. Then I saw this post simply titled Dr. Who. Sometimes you just don’t need to say any more than that.
Doctor Who: Silence in the Library
Sunday, June 1st, 2008After a couple of e-mails about some of my recent posts I’m going to flag any posts with potential spoilers in with the graphic above. To clarify what I’m going to treat as a spoiler – basicly I’ll use it whenever I mention anything that might spoil watching something for someone who hasn’t already seen […]
ER Doesn't Need any Apologies
Monday, May 26th, 2008ER and CSI spoilers may follow if your later to watching the last episodes of the season than I was. After complaining about CSI labouring Warwick’s shooting I’d like to congratulate ER on setting up a cliff hanger and then delivering the punch with only the barest hint that something was going to happen. That’s […]
With Apologies to CSI
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008CSI Spoiler Warning. I would but I just can’t be bothered to put the time in to send up CSI like I did Waking the Dead last night. Tonights moan is that what was an almost perfect episode of CSI was spoilt at the last by another bad habbit of TV show makers. For once […]

Doctor Who: The Sontaran Stratagem
Saturday, April 26th, 2008Tonight The Sontaran Stratagem didn’t make UNITs 3 extras in berets and a couple of Land Rovers and so far the Sontaran havn’t been reinvented as the sixth member of the Village People. So the BBC found its cheque book. So all over the UK Doctor Who fans are crossing their fingers that this will […]
Doctor Who: The Fires of Pompeii
Saturday, April 12th, 2008So a nicely put together time travelling episode that not only managed the emotional plot development and remained reasonably logical throughout. Along with a hint of the shows darker side although given a get out of jail free card to do something nasty because the alternative was worse. The time constraints of the single episode […]
Doctor Who: Partners in Crime
Saturday, April 5th, 2008Good to see Dr Who back with a story that didn’t completely lose the plot at the end and where the pacing worked right through the story. The CG was pretty good although some of the green screen work could still do with a bit more effort or maybe relying on it a little less […]
Ashes to Ashes or Dempsey and Drakepeace?
Thursday, February 7th, 2008Really enjoyed the first episode of Ashes to Ashes on BBC 1 tonight. I’ll avoid saying much more because far too easy to drop a spoiler if I do. I did enjoy the switch from Life on Mars’ take on the Sweeney to something more akin to Dempsey and Makepeace or, maybe, The Professionals. Fingers […]
Torchwood: To the Last Man
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008Just when I’ve decided to watch just one more episode and if it’s not up to scratch that’ll be it for me and Torchwood they put together an episode like tonights, To the Last Man. No need for aliens, no shooting, no car chases and barely any gadgets. Well told, taught story telling with a […]
