New New York, South Wales
New New York turns out to be the Gower Peninsula. It may have been the Galaxy M87 but I thought it looked familiar… The name New New York is familiar […]
Film, TV & Radio
New Earth
Charlie Brooker was unduly harsh. It wasn’t quite up the standards of The Christmas Invasion (few things are) but it was great, and the 10th Doctor is still my favourite. […]
Two Weeks to “New Earth”
Just a fortnight still to go. The first Tardisode has arrived on the offical website. Meanwhile Who is Doctor Who has undergone a radical revamp. It includes links to some […]

“The Constant Gardener” Review
There are no murders in Africa. Only regrettable deaths. I’d given up hope of seeing this film on the big screen, but my local cinema rather wonderfully re-screened The Constant […]
“Secretary” Review

Doctor Who on Children In Need
If you missed it last night, as I did, see it here. Not an auspicious start for Tennant, I fear. Let’s hope “The Christmas Invasion” sees him leave up to […]
