Dr Who – The Beast Below trailer
In case you’ve had a busy week, like me, and you’ve not had a chance to watch the trailer for The Beast Below – here it is. Unless, that is, you’re like my Dundee friends and consider these trailers to be spoiler rich nasties and think the BBC should be shot for running them anytime […]

MTV with Nightmare’s Freddy interruption/haunting ads
MTV are promoting the forthcoming Nightmare on Elm Street. These aren’t standard ads though – they’re interruptions which are being allowed to hijack MTV’s own promo features. It’s a shame they’re not allowed to interrupt all those life style and reality TV features that destroyed the once great channel (or was that simply me getting […]
Doctor Who clip: Vampires in Venice
