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
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
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
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
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?
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 […]
10 pictures from the animated Army of Darkness
Patrick Schoenmaker is one of those people with so much talent. His blog, The Trumpet Parade, should be in your reading list. One of his cool projects has been to draw for an animated Army of Darkness series. The following pictures are selected as samples from a few of Patrick’s generous posts; I’m a boy, […]
Dr Who – The Time of Angels: Three new clips
Ahead of today’s Doctor Who “The Time of Angels” the BBC have released three new clips – shown below. The Time of Angels is the first of a two parter written by Steven Moffat. The second part is Flesh and Stone. In Time of Angels the Eleventh Doctor meets River Song for the first time […]
Dr Who: the Musical
Some Whovians go down in the records of fame. It doesn’t happen very often. Di0br is one such Whovian. Di0br is responsible for the rather amazing “Tenth Doctor: The Musical”. This is a 7 minute collection of fantastically compiled clippings from the David Tennant era combined skillfully with music (sometimes NSFW tunes). Check. It. Out.
The Ghost Who Walks: SyFy’s The Phantom
SyFy are bringing us a mini-series for a re-imagined The Phantom. Yup; that purple clad hero of old. Once again they’ve teamed up with RHI Entertainment for this modern retelling. RHI are the people who worked with SyFy on Tin Man, the Wizard of Oz re-telling that featured Zooey Deschanel and Alan Cumming. The new […]
