When Monty Python’s Flying Circus premiered in the UK on October 5, 1969, no one knew what to expect. Pitched simply as a comedy show with some sketches, it was clear immediately that it was so much more than that. Inspired by the British radio program The Goon Show (1951–1960), the Python troupe sought to […] More
If the predictions of Years and Years ever come true then it’s unlikely we’ll ever get another season of the show. In actual fact, we won’t be getting many more TV shows at all as the BBC has closed its doors for the final time. It’s 2029 and the British Broadcasting Corporation has had it’s […] More

The rest of the Lyons family is hurt and upset, but one of them is angry. We’re about to learn that anger can have devastating consequences. The future hasn’t […] More
Any little girl who’s practicing their speech on the telly, you never know! I used to work as a cleaner, I loved that job and I did spend quite a lot of time imagining this. Oh please wrap it up? Right, ok!! Pbbt. The entire room laughed when Olivia Colman blew that raspberry after being […] More
After last week’s Years and Years cliffhanger which saw Vivienne Rook (Emma Thompson) and her Four Star Party get ever closer to power, I warned you to prepare yourself for this episode.

Years and Years is back and last week’s cliffhanger saw the banks collapse, causing Stephen (Rory Kinnear) and Celeste (T’Nia Miller) to lose over a million pounds. Viktor (Maxim Baldry) was deported. Edith (Jessica Hynes) has ten years left to live, and Vivienne Rook (Emma Thompson) was elected as a local MP. With things already […] More
Years and Years is back and after last week’s jaw-dropping cliff hanger of Trump pressing the big red button in his last days of office, the bomb detonating near China, and the threat of an all-out nuclear war it was hard to know what scenes would be welcoming us in Episode 2. You can breathe […] More
There’s something magical and enchanting about reading a book or watching a film involving a period of time that is not your own. There’s a different code of ethics to society.

Russell T Davies has written some of the most amazing dramas ever including Queer As Folk, A Very English Scandal, Cucumber, and Doctor Who.

Franchises live and die by their first installments and when The Golden Compass hit screens back in the winter of 2008, it failed despite an all-star cast, featuring the likes of Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig, and Sam Elliott. Reasons for the failure could be pinned on a myriad of elements, with the main one was […] More
With one full season and a New Year’s Day special under the latest TARDIS team’s belt, it looks like the focus might be shifting in the next season to Yasmin Khan. Since the bulk of season 11 focused on Ryan’s growth and relationship with Graham, it felt like police officer and school mate Yaz’s story […] More
In Killing Eve the name of the protagonist invites us to consider the series as a tale of temptation.
