Jason Arnopp recently had a showing of his new short film Look At Me. (trailer) Great fun was had by all. A precursor, no doubt, of greater things to come. His next task? A feature with a working title of ASK. Director Dan Turner offers a prize to those hardy souls who can guess what it […]

Finally got round to watching Being Human last night. Well that was rather fucking fine. You can watch Being Human online here for the next couple of days. After that, you may have to resort to the usual channels. Like Buffy the Vampire Slayer (“She’s a cheerleader! She slays vampires!”), the setup itself gives no […]

You may already have seen the first (and, now, last) part of Max’s travel blog for the Guardian. Basically, a 19-year-old boy doing a gap year is about to travel to India and Thailand. He’s going to write a blog about it. Good for him. Thousands of kids his age do just that. Here’s where […]

Dear Christ in Heaven. Torchwood Babies. Blatantly linkwhored from Stephen Gallagher. It’s just like passing on the cycle of abuse.

In writing, it’s finding the right line, the right character, the right plot […]

I’m certain that you, like me, rue the fact that Character Options, creators and purveyors of fine action figures, currently do not have in their inventory a figure of Doctor Who’s erstwhile companion Harry Sullivan with his foot stuck in a giant clam. Fortunately, there now exists a way for you to remedy this oversight.

Walking into work just now, I opened one of those ten feet high doors made of solid wood. (Not randomly. I have to in order to get to my desk.) At which point it fell off its hinges. Fortunately I was able to step to one side before being squashed like a bug. After checking […]

So, Loli and I dropped off a friend at the airport yesterday, and it turns out that they have a new question at the check-in desk. “Have you left any electrical device with someone else to be repaired since the last time you used it?” Fair enough. That laptop could be full of all sorts […]
