There had been rumblings of trouble but face it – when Doctor Who isn’t on air there’s nothing quite like worrying what could go wrong. Doctor Who fans like myself are very good at it. It turns out some the more recent rumbles are correct. Beth Willis will be leaving Doctor Who. Beth was one […]

Craig Ferguson interviews Neil Gaiman
Right now, at the time of posting, this video can be watched anywhere in the world. It’s a clip from US TV in which Craig Ferguson interviews Neil Gaiman. Gaiman’s on because it’s American Gods was 10 years old on the 19th of June. The geeky conversation stretches from Sandman to Doctor Who. There’s plenty […]
Towering Tardis: Doctor Who and the Companions
This infographic just about fits inside the Tardis. Just about. K9 and Kamelion are on this chart creators have done the right thing and counted them as Companions. Got to say; this infographic reminds me of how much I disliked Visior Turlough when I watched the show as a young pre-blogger. I suspect I’d find […]
The characters in a Game of Thrones are Muppets
Wait. I think the title of this blog post may be wrong. Did I say the characters in a Game of Thrones are Muppets? I meant to say that here’s what the characters in a Game of Thrones would look like as Muppets. Who would you pick to play the Onion Knight? These rather clever […]

Supernatural: One Year Gone review
Supernatural: One Year Gone is a book that fits in between series 5 and series 6 of the TV show of the same name. This review doesn’t dig deep into spoiler territory for series 6 but if you’re not caught up with series 5, are worried about spoilers then you may enjoy it more to […]
Karigurashi no Arrietty / Arrietty review
Arrietty was the anime to feature in the Edinburgh International Film Festival before a general UK release in July. Without question; it’s a film to watch. The film is based on Mary Norton’s The Borrowers. I’ve not read the book. I’ve not seen the children’s TV series made by the BBC or even the 1997 […]

Mashable, a large social media blog that you’ll have heard of, invited Craig Engler to their Connect conference to talk about Social TV. Engler is the Senior Vice President and General Manager of Syfy Digital. Expectations got the better of me. Based on the headline “Social TV” I expected Craig to be talking about the […]
