Let me start off with something I always enjoy saying: I F***ING LOVE CARTOONS!!! I don't care what others say, what my peers say, even what my mother says, I bloody love cartoons. They're that little escape from the dark and gloomy reality we live in and for a short while show us this fantastic world of bizarre fantasy, memorable magic and, above all for cartoons, some side splitting humour. (Of course, these should be taken accordingly or, like me, you'll end up with an accent you never had before and people will keep asking you "Did you come from America?" Trust me, the joke gets old quickly.) One cartoon I adored in my childhood was a 19

"The BBC has announced the appointment of ex-Head of Olympic Deliverance, Ian Fletcher, as its new head of values..." When a large company is able to take the piss out of itself, you know it can do well. So can the BBC do it, and do it well? The answer is that they can at least try, but they'll try like pros. W1A, an injoke as W1A is the postcode of the current BBC HQ, Broadcasting House, follows on from the hugely successful mock-umentary series Twenty Twelve, which as its name suggests, poked fun at the 2012 London Olympic Summer Games and the lead-up to the event. What links the two series together is Ian Fletcher (Hugh Bonneville), the

CHAPTER 5: Miss Sawyer and Mister Lukis The restoration room of the National Antiquities Museum is a place that requires silence. Whilst the staff of the museum were working on restoring the relics of history, the only noises permitted are the soft sounds of soothing music or the gentle whispers of methods and jobs. Other than that, silence is asked from everyone and is given by everyone. Andy felt at home, here in the back room cleaning the curious artifacts which told our history. Well, he felt more at home here, cleaning the exhibits, with a good friend. But for the last few days, his good friend was nowhere to be seen. Hearing the pitter

CHAPTER 4: A Death in the Family There are many things which can spur the officers of Scotland Yard into action. Possible murder is one of them, plus the added fact of Sherlock Holmes beating them to it. Upon hearing this, it is, at least in the eyes of every Scotland Yard officer, their duty to reach the crime scene in a speed faster that necessary. Of course, once there, grim reality kicks back in. The officers surrounded the block of flats as the forensics team scurried around the flat of the now deceased Eddie Van Coon. The sound of flashes and professional-photography cameras filled the bedroom where the fresh cadaver lay on the king-si

DOCTOR WHO DVD REVIEW: THE AZTECS: SPECIAL EDITION RELEASED: 11th MARCH 2013 The third of Doctor Who’s Season One historical outings brings us to the vast and beautiful city of Tenochtitlan, and to the height of the Aztec civilisation. Amidst the introduction of the Daleks, the Voords and the Sensorites, this story reminds us that not all terrors are on vast, far-off planets, have three dozen tentacles and speak in a bizarre high pitched voice, but that some are more realistic and human… This starts off the way most stories would start off for Barbara, found by the local rozzers and expecting to be sold as a slave. Of course, w

CHAPTER 3: Eddie Van Coon CLICK. CLICK. The sound of a camera shutter, even electronic, is unmistakeable to anyone. Especially Sherlock Holmes. Visual evidence was a vital part of his deducing. The main reason why one of the few things he adored in his life was the invention of the smartphone. Especially the fact that most of them contained digital cameras. The fact that an entire visual library can be held in your pocket was why he utilised them in his work. He held his BlackBerry’s lens in the view of the vandalised painting. Capturing the image, he then captured the image of the scrawling beside the portrait. He took several photos

DOCTOR WHO DVD REVIEW: THE ARK IN SPACE: SPECIAL EDITION RELEASED: 25th FEBRUARY 2013 “You are holding in your hands a bona fide Doctor Who classic.” That’s how the info-sleeve intro begins. Quite honestly, it couldn’t be any nearer to the truth. THIS IS AN AMAZING STORY. Everything about it is perfect, well apart from one obvious thing, but it was a BBC budget. What makes it even more amazing is that the fact many fans, including myself, adore this story; and it’s only Tom Baker’s SECOND STORY!!! It’s as if we’ve gone and seen ‘The Daleks’ again. That is how good this story is. And

CHAPTER 2: A Minute’s Difference The tall, looming, glass covered skyscraper that is consistent of the headquarters of the Shad Sanderson bank shone in the slowly emerging London sunlight. It hardly seemed out of place with Canary Wharf and the London Shard. Most people, even those who witness them on a regular basis in England’s capital, cannot help but be astonished by their impressive heights. But today, Watson wasn’t in the mood for viewing skyscrapers. He needed to get to a bank. Sherlock brought him to a bank, but of course, it wasn’t the sort of thing he imagined. “Yeah, when you said we were going to the

CHAPTER 1: Revenge of the Self-Checkout John Watson was a bit of an optimist. He was a loyal army doctor who was invalidated home from the front in Afghanistan after receiving a wound to the shoulder and a psychosomatic limp. Thinking he wanted a rest, he was proved wrong by the intervention of a bizarre man. Sherlock Holmes. A consulting detective, the only one, he helped the London Metropolitan when they proved to be unable to put two and two together. They recently became acquaintances after deducting the identity of the mastermind behind the serial suicides. Now they lived in a flat on Baker Street, with Sherlock looking for work and Joh

DOCTOR WHO DVD REVIEW: THE SUN MAKERS RELEASED: 1st AUGUST 2011 ROBERT HOLMES!!!!!!!! You immediately know it’s a good story if Bob Holmes has written it. From creating such terrors as The Master, The Autons, The Sontatans, The Krotons and penning the greatest Doctor Who story ever, Robert Holmes and his stories have passed into legend. But here is a nice little gem from Season 15 with Tom Baker, Leela and K-9 landing on the barren and desolate planet of Pluto. Only to find it is not so barren and desolate as they first thought… And YES, I’M CALLING PLUTO A PLANET. I WAS BROUGHT UP BEING TOLD IT’S A PLANET, PEOPLE IN
