Following last weeks’ horrific departure from the books, Game of Thrones delivers another fantastic episode, perfect for those who just can’t wait to find out who Joffrey’s killer was, as it was revealed after a mere two weeks.  by Graham Osborne
Fargo continues the slow burning plot this week. Freeman takes a back seat whilst the story focuses on the police and Malvo’s respective cases. The production values were as fantastic as last week, with sound and cinematography both adding to the palpable tension.  by Helen Langdon
Sunday 27th April saw the 2014 BAFTA Television Craft Awards. With the ceremony hosted by Stephen Mangan, and with presenters including Arthur Darvill, Victoria Wood and Reece Shearsmith, it was a great celebration of all of the behind-the-scenes talent working in British television today. And it was proof of just how talented the industry in this country is, with no one show dominating the awards.  by Cookie N Screen
Naturally with a television show, there are a few episodes that don’t pack the similar punch as before. As a critic, it is natural to pick up on these more disappointing plots and note how some may fall beneath the bar of the entire series. NBC’s Hannibal has had some wobbly episodes, especially at the beginning, never really realising its full potential of the juicy emotions bubbling underneath the plot. However, Shiizakana is one of those incredible powerful episodes that has so much goodness happening. It packed enough punch for me to feel utterly bad I’d ever doubted Fuller and his television series. It packed enough punch for me to go “oh shiiz (akana!)”  by Melissa Haggar
What do you get when you bring back ‘Anything Can Happen’ Thursdays? A whole lot of indecisiveness apparently! And no, it’s not just from Sheldon this time; it is also Penny and Leonard who can’t seem to decide what to do on their new whimsical day.  by Helen Langdon

There are only fifty one seconds of this clip. Fifty one seconds. That is a miniscule amount. There is not much that one can do with fifty one seconds. Breathe a couple of times, walk a couple of steps, say a couple of lines and flail a little bit. But the writers behind the genius Netflix original took a look at fifty one seconds, laughed a little bit and sandwiched in a tantalising opening to Orange Is The New Black. So not only do we have the brand new trailer for you. BUT we have a sneak peak on exactly how Orange Is The New Black is going to start. And it is delicious, egg on the wall delicious.  by Ben Mapp
J.K Rowling’s 2012 novel, The Casual Vacancy, is be adapted into a BBC miniseries it has been revealed. The news officially broke in 2012, shortly after the novel’s release, but since then there has been no news regarding the development of the series until now.  by Julia Lawson
It all started with an apple. To rid her kingdom of Snow White, the Queen turned to her fruit bowl for a solution. However, is there any significance behind her choice of colour? Why choose Red Delicious over Granny Smith and Pink Lady? The answer highlights the differences between the Wicked Witch and the Evil Queen – two sisters who cannot agree to disagree on their taste in apples. This week’s episode is very juicy…  by Cookie N Screen
There is no one as unforgettable as Shakespeare. The famous playwright has penned work that is still used to this day and is adapted left, right and centre. There isn’t an actor alive, particularly British ones, who don’t want to tackle at least one of the Bard's famous characters. But what would happen if you were called one day to play the great man himself? Here are some of the best television portrayals of Shakespeare… |
