Sherlock Series 4

ward 25/07/2016

So the big excitement that has prompted me to write this, is that there is a new Sherlock trailer. It doesn’t give much away about what will happen but it does show Toby Jones who is going to be a new villain.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia

ward 26/08/2014

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has been described as ‘Seinfeld on crack’ which I guess is kind of fair given the shallow cynicism of the protagonists and the ludicrous situations that evolve but they are from a very different social spectrum.

Gotham trailer

Fargo Tv show

ward 23/03/2014

When I heard they were making a Tv show based on Fargo I was a bit baffled as to what that actually meant. I assumed it just meant the occasional murder in a very bleak landscape with lots of black humour.

Sherlock Holmes Season 3

ward 24/11/2013

Ok, I’ll keep this brief. Like the trailer. #sherlocklives pretty much explains what it’s all about. We knew that anyway as you see him at the end of the final episode of season 2. The big shock here is Martin Freeman’s/Watson’s facial hair.

Cosmos

When I was a kid, one of my favourite shows was ‘Cosmos’ by the legendary Carl Sagan. It was astronomy with huge inspiring dollops of philosophy.

In Saturn’s Rings

ward 06/07/2013

Some obsessed young fellow, probably single, has spend the last 6 years splicing together actual photos from space missions to make a kind of animated photo flipbook thing that looks like a movie.

Flight of the Conchords charity video

ward 18/09/2012

The Flight of the Conchords began as a comedy radio show on the BBC and then the genius that is HBO turned that into a TV show in America. The music is brilliant and the sitcom was hilarious. Sadly they have not been on our screens for ages. Until now!
