Doctor Who: Brand new character announced but he is a Companion?

Spectacular scenery and sneaky sky pirates: A Last Exile review
There’s no doubt that Last Exile is stunning. The only doubt I have, as I start to form notes for this review, is how to describe it.

First trailers of Star Wars: Rebels
We’ve two promos from Disney for the new Star Wars series – Star Wars Rebels. They’re part of the “Ignite” and “Spark” teasers so-called either because it’s the ignition of the rebellion or because the feature character seems to have a thing for fireballs. I get why Disney will be keen to put the emphasis […]
