The Red Dead Redemption short film

May 30, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I wasn’t sold by the initial teasers from Red Dead Redemption but I must admit it seems to have stamina. Rockstar seem able to keep on releasing teasers of the same quality. Reviewers and people who’ve had greater access seem to give it thumbs up. Rockstar will be over the moon. They need to be […]

Dr Who: In Cold Blood – next time trailer

May 28, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Hungry Earth saw the return of the Silurians to Doctor Who. It was their first appearance on “New Who”. The next episode, part two of the sequence, is called In Cold Blood and features a heck of a lot more Silurians. The BBC has become very quick to YouTube yank but, unless that happens, […]

Dr Who – The Hungry Earth trailer

May 22, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Today is Doctor Who day here in the UK. So let’s have a preview at The Hungry Earth. Are you a fan of Torchwood? Chris Chibnall, who worked a lot on Torchwood, is also the writer behind The Hungry Earth. The Doctor, Rory and Amy arrive in 2020 and at a small village where Dr […]

Clever use of zombie – car comparison

May 20, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Ford have come up with an interesting use for the humble garden zombie. You can use one to demonstrate the security advantages of their cars to other cars. This is an American ad. It would be illegal to air on UK TV. Why? Not because of the use of zombies (I don’t believe they even […]

Lego TV: The Simpsons

May 17, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The opening to The Simpsons is iconic. I would imagine the music is recognised around the world (mind you; I did meet someone who claims never to have watched a single episode of The Simpons the other day…). This is another YouTube success. At the time of writing this clip was just shy of 6,000,000 […]

Futurama Rebirth: Regrowing bodies

May 9, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

As I write this blog post I’m watching an episode of Futurama. It’s hard to imagine that the series was cancelled about 7 years ago! It ran from March 28, 1999 to August 10, 2003. Then Fox canned it. It’s returning (thanks to Comedy Central). There have been initial dramas around getting the original voice […]

Dr Who – Vampires in Venice pictures

May 8, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Looks like there’s been a bit of a purge in YouTube of all those naughty Dr Who fan accounts (and, no doubt, some shameless attempts to make money) and some of my favourite places to find clips have been yanked. Ah! The YouTube yank. I know you well. However, the dear old BBC have posted […]

BBC apologises for Doctor Who gaffe

May 2, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

The ending of The Time of Angels was rather ruined by an animated trailer for some non-geek TV program of mind numbing doom. Actually, up here in Scotland we didn’t suffer such a fate (score one for BBC Scotland) but I gather the English and Welsh suffered (anyone from Northern Ireland able to comment?) In […]

Dr Who – Next time video: Vampires in Venice

May 1, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We’ve had access to a Vampires of Venice clip for a while but as traditional after Saturday’s Day Doctor Who we have access to the “next time” trailer. This clip doesn’t just bring back memories of by trip to Venice but of Assassin’s Creed 2! No vampires in that – might be in Assassin’s Creed […]

Dr Who – Flesh and Stone – connected to the Time Wars game?

May 1, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 3 Comments

The BBC have, of course, released a whole bunch of teaser videos for today’s Doctor Who “Flesh and Stone”. Flesh and Stone is part 2 to Time of Angels part 1. The teasers show us a few things: The Doctor can make the Weeping Angels say “comfy chairs” We’re still going to be taunted about […]
