You know a show is huge for a network when it gives out a multi-season renewal. For Orange Is The New Black, it’s no real surprise that Netflix isn’t anywhere close to being done with it’s female ensemble comedy.

Last month social media blew up over rumours that the FRIENDS cast were on the verge or reuniting. Sadly NBC and everyone involved has gone out of their way to dampen the flames – explaining it’s just a tribute night to the shows director James Burrows.

A few years back Doctor Who fans got to enjoy the shows 50th anniversary celebrations; an event that brought together three incarnations of the famous Time-Lord Doctor. Sadly the third of these wasn’t Christopher Eccleston (The 9th Doctor) but instead a new incarnation completely; The War Doctor. Storyboards for the episode reveal this wasn’t always the case.

Recently we wrote about The Fine Brothers situation – a Youtube group that was seeking to lay claim to a concept of videos across all of Youtube.

Saturday night brought actors of film and TV together to celebrate their achievements over the past 12 months at the annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. 

This weekends ‘Super Bowl 50’ is one of televisions biggest annual attractions. Ad sales are monumental ($5m for a 30 second slot!), ratings go through the roof and audiences pile in to witness the end of the NFL football season. One thing the new CBS Entertainment president won’t be caring about though is ratings as […]

For fans of Dcotor Who this last week was a fairly busy one in terms of news. Showrunner Steven Moffat announced his imminent departure while the BBC coyly announced that the next season wouldn’t air until Spring 2017. Now Charlotte Moore, Controller of BBC One, has opened up about the decision to delay the long […]

What is old is new again – at least that’s the modern thinking in the entertainment world. The X-Files much hyped return was a huge gamble for FOX, desperate not to tarnish the memories of a much loved TV series. Luckily for them (and for fans) the première pulled in enormous numbers. 

Looking back – Season 9 had some incredibly fun episodes mixed in with some terribly bad writing decisions. It’s sad because when it got it right it all worked splendidly but there was always the threat of the paper thin plots giving way to out and out silliness. We also learned very early in the season […]

Doctor Who is a very unique show when it comes to casting. Even when actors leave and go on to pastures new; they never really escape the shadow of the Tardis (Just ask Christopher Eccleston). So when Catherine Tate appeared on Lorriaine Kelly’s morning chat show recently, the conversation quickly turned to all things Timelord.

As TVs grow bigger, so the need for bigger resolutions grows too. With 4K set to be the next big thing in TV consumption; Sky has jumped ahead of the pack and finally unveiled it’s next-gen Sky Q package – aimed specifically at those who plan on buying into the resolution revolution (Try saying that […]

After the previous shocking developments – this weeks episode takes a huge left turn into unknown territory. Removing all the excess and enemies of the series, this episode see’s us following Capaldi’s Doctor alone. No side characters – no imminent threat to the universe. Just The Doctor and creature hell bent on killing him. Is it […]

With the end of Season 9 fast approaching – it’s time for the pieces to fall into place for the inevitable big finale. But this weeks episode took an interesting detour – one that will change the direction of the show (for the better) going forward. The big question though is was this episode any […]

Season Nine has given Doctor Who a lot of two-parters. This is good in that it allows deep and detailed stories to be told – but also means that we don’t get the quick and snappy stories that help to underpin ‘New Who’. This week marks the Season’s first ‘one parter’ – but was it […]

This season hasn’t been the best for payoffs in Doctor Who. With so many two-parters falling short of expectations – it was a genuine surprise when ‘Invasion of the Zygons’ delivered so strongly. After setting the stakes high in last weeks first parter; could this follow up manage to keep the momentum going and deliver […]

It was quite fitting that this episode was a Halloween episode. It was a much darker and brooding episode; raising some thought provoking ideas about identity and the morals of immigration. The question is can a Zygon story be good?

After last weeks disappointing Doctor Who episode; I was eager to see how the show would address a Clara-less Doctor being paired back up with Maisie Williams. Given that the villian was rubbish and the plot lost it’s way until the final 5 minutes, could Catherine Tregenna’s script anchor a more character driven story?

Season 9 of the rebooted Doctor Who hasn’t been the most stellar of runs for the show. With ratings on the slide and the audience yearning for something more from the BBC – can “The Girl Who Died” deliver a much needed boost?

Spin-offs are always are dodgy business in TV. Get it right and you can have a ‘Frasier’ sized hit which takes on a life of it’s own. Fail and you end up with a ‘Joey’; no one wants a ‘Joey’. When AMC spun out it’s ever popular ‘Walking Dead’ TV show – the promise of greatness […]
