Tory Leader Comes Clean: No Proportional Representation For The British People

To the practised enthusiast, high-flown political rhetoric is practically a smorgasbord of revelation. For example, David Cameron, the leader of the Conservative & Unionist Party (er, thats in Great Britain, by the way)(and I love using the words ‘Great Britain’ since you will never hear them come from the lips of an American politician, not [...]

Primeval S3 Ep 9 – Attack Of The Zombie Dialogue Monsters!

So, the penultimate episode beckons, like a half-seen figure from a shadowy doorway over which is written the immortal words…Titter Ye Not Ye Who Enter Herewithin…
Personally I’m waiting to see what decaying carcass of cliched dialogue will be unearthed tonight; last week we had Danny Q – after a vroomtastic bit of driving – impart that [...]

Humanity’s Fire Book 2: The Orphaned Worlds – update

Well, its like this – here I am, three and a bit chapters from yer actual, genuine end when once more I am forced to play the unwelcome host to another batch of bugs. Yup, I has caught another dose of cold or flu or writers shacklemonia or some loathsome batch of viral invaders. My head feels [...]

Primeval Episode 8: Let’s Rant! – or – Jack Must Die!

Change For The Better Under Obama? – Perhaps Not

Just read a stomach-turning account of the restraint practices which the guards get up to in Guantanamo. Obama has signed an order for the closure of the Guantanamo facility, yet it seems that the brutality taking place there has been ramping up since the start of the year. Almost as if the guards want get in an [...]

Cor Blimey, Its the Charlie Brooker Youtube Link!

Just a word to the wise, a wink in yer shell-like, a waving of cultural flags – Charlie Brooker, silver-tongued, polemical demigod, has recently been on BBC4, in a spinoff from his Screenwipe prog, entitled (wait for it) News Wipe, being his sidewise peek and sideswipe at media news in general. And damn, all 6 [...]

Primeval: S3 Ep7 – Updated Pondering

Helpfully, some advance information about the upcoming Primeval episodes can be found on the prog’s wikipedia page, the one headed Primeval Episodes. And tonight’s, in case you missed the trailer, is to do with a medieval knight pursuing a fearsome dragon (which turns out to be a dino, natch). Anyway, the writer of tonight’s episode [...]

Primeval S3 Ep6: Turkeys Of Doom

This series is rapidly becoming a showcase of non sequiturs which in dramatic terms means the use of story elements which serve no purpose other than the writer thinking they were cool. Having the cast dress up in 30’s cocktail garb, get Connor and Abby dancing to an old 78 while Danny reads something from [...]

Primeval Season 3: A Brief Summation

God, its been crud.
What? – you want more than that? Really? … fair enough.
Okay, just to give you something to ponder, four of Season One’s 6 episodes were written by Adrian Hodges, with #4 by Richard Kurti & Bev Doyle and #5 by Chris Lang. Three of Season  Two’s 7 episodes were written by Adrian Hodges, with #9 by Kurti [...]
