I’m not quite sure what to make of Epic. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about it is that it appears to document the making of Kill Bill some 36 years before that […]

Oh dear. Being charitable, it could be suggested that episode represents the natural evolution of The Cybernauts concept – though it’s more of a revolution, since the AI has been perfected […]

There are four remakes in what is, perhaps, the least creative series of The Avengers made, and this is the first. It’s a remake of The Charmers, which I didn’t rate that […]
