Count Duckula, Danger Mouse and Discworld… Cosgrove Hall had interesting projects, some more well known than the others. In fact, Cosgrove Hall actually produced two series of Discworld back in 1997 for the UK’s Channel 4. They were based on Wyrd Sisters and Soul Music.

Comic-Con trailer – Season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery
I’m not sure this is supposed to be on YouTube yet so watch it before it’s yanked. It looks like the Captain of the USS Enterprise is going to have a fairly chunky role in season two of Star Trek: Discovery. Which Captain? Christopher Pike. Pike had the helm before James T Kirk took over […]
The first Doctor Who series 11 trailer and lots of Yorkshire accent
I seem to recall fans urging Jodie Whittaker to keep her Yorkshire accent for Doctor Who. I don’t recall having any sort of confirmation from the Beeb as to whether that would happen. This trailer starts off soft but the full Yorkshire builds up strongly! Of course, recent Doctors have kept Scottish accents even if […]
First Doctor Who s11 teaser introduces the companions
I was confused. I thought I was watching an ad. I thought I was watching a BBC intent. But, no. I was watching the first teaser for season 11 Doctor Who. The second time watching the teaser is better. We have all three of the new companions leading normal lives, and then they change. Things […]

Just this week Jennifer Salke, boss […]
A review of Blue Exorcist: Definitive Edition – Kyoto Saga
I enjoyed Blue Exorcist, but it took me a while to work out what was going on in season two and a little while to forgive it for that. This arch isn’t either a sequel or a prequel. The Kyoto Saga is set mid-way through season 1.
Three years into the Eye of the Beholder: The Art of Dungeons and Dragons
Cavegirl Productions and X-Ray Films have spent three years interviewing artists and insiders with stories to tell from the last 40 years of Dungeons & Dragons. With a GenCon premier in mind the team turned to Kickstarter to raise finishing funds and succeeded. At the time of writing there’s 15 days still on the clock, […]
8 real life retro-game playing Gunters
In Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One the name given to gamers who specialise in 80s arcade games/retro-games are Gunters. The Gunters are searching for the famous Easter Egg that will give who ever finds it control of the Oasis. It’s a bit like the quest for the Holy Grail. We don’t yet have a virtual […]
