So much has been going on to celebrate the 50th of Doctor Who it is as if the whole world has been put into a temporary wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey state. from generations of people sitting down to watch old Doctor Who re-runs, to specials on the best monsters/villains, special merchandise and deciding to show the 50th Anniversary special in cinemas. On Friday, Professor Brian Cox, famous for his educational and highly informative and entertaining science shows, hosted a special lecture, specially recorded to try and answer questions that circulate around every Whovian’s mind: Is time travel possible? Do aliens really exist? Can I build my own TARDIS? (The answer to that one is no, unless you have a spare black hole handy.)

So much has been going on to celebrate the 50th of Doctor Who it is as if the whole world has been put into a temporary wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey state. from generations of people sitting down to watch old Doctor Who re-runs, to specials on the best monsters/villains, special merchandise and deciding to show the 50th Anniversary special in cinemas. On Friday, Professor Brian Cox, famous for his educational and highly informative and entertaining science shows, hosted a special lecture, specially recorded to try and answer questions that circulate around every Whovian’s mind: Is time travel possible? Do aliens really exist? Can I build my own TARDIS? (The answer to that one is no, unless you have a spare black hole handy.) By Cookie 'n' Screen It has been three whole years since the BBC acclaimed series Sherlock came bounding to our screens. No matter what year you got into the Sherlock Holmes adaptation by Mark Gatiss and Stephen Moffat, there is no doubt that you were gripped. By the finale of season two, we were all left on the ultimate cliff hanger, only to be fed snippets of a new series to keep us salivating longer. Well, we can wait no more, as December the 15th will see the Season Three premiere open at the BFI with only a handful of fans able to see it. No fear, soon after we will finally know just what went down on the rooftop of St Bartholomew’s. Until then, let’s recap our favourite moments starting with Martin Freeman's BAFTA Winning Dr John Watson. By Julia Lawson We find ourselves in the middle of one of our own flashbacks. Not just one of those ‘fill in the blanks’ Enchanted Forest flashbacks I usually get excited about... Pats on the back all round for we fairytale lubbers as we remembered a key moment in OUAT history – the farewell scene between Belle and Rumple before our family of heroes run off to #save Henry. *Wipes tear from eye* *big breath* Let’s blooming well hope Henry gets saved today or I’m going to Neverland to get him MYSELF! By Gemma Williams Previously on The Originals we have found out about the civil war between the witches and Davina. We see that Marcel is like a guardian angel to Davina and wants Klaus gone. Rebekah is sick of her family’s structure and tries to leave. Finally, a pregnant Hayley is finally unlinked from voodoo doll Sophie and has been kidnapped. The pilots were disappointing but each episode gets better and episode 7 follows this trend. We will also a see the first crossover from The Vampire Diaries in this episode which is very exciting and seems like it will bring about a lot of positive changes to the show. Get ready for another fix of complex heists and high-stakes action as TV’s most talented master thieves return for Season 4 of LEVERAGE, released on DVD on 18 November 2013 from Icon Home Entertainment. Former insurance agency investigator Nathan Ford, heads a team of highly skilled, tech-savvy grafters in this latest instalment, which continues the edgy drama of highly successful previous seasons of the show. As confidence artists, or better known as con artists, have always been around scamming people and their way through life. These swindlers, hustlers, sleek and clever shysters make amazing premises for film and TV. To celebrate the release we’ve comprised a list of the top 5 Con Artists that have graced the big and small screens. By Max Bosshart Secrets are revealed on this week's episode, All Tomorrow's Parties, as Stephen faces a mysterious partner behind Ultra, John falters as leader of the Tomorrow People, and the gang goes topside for a party. By Callum Armour Well the mask is off and Black Canary’s true identity is Sara Lance. Not exactly a shocker if the audience have and familiarity with the comics or have at least been paying attention for the last year. I can’t help but feel disappointed halfway into episode 4 that the mystery is over. The outcome was always going to be obvious but I was expecting a few clues to throw us off or at least for this mystery to go on a little longer. However as always with Arrow it appears that the really engaging mystery lies not in the present but on the island. Exactly the opposite of Lost in that way… By Julia Lawson Rub your eyes dear viewers and look to your TV screens - Wonderland returns after a week of absence! A quick recap before we sail off on a magic carpet ride. In addition to knowing the exits are Here… Here… and Here, I have a few reminders for you. The Red Queen is Anastasia – the love of the Knave of Hearts, also known as Will Scarlet. Alice is in love with a genie called Cyrus. And Jafar is obsessed with genies and bottles. By Robbie Jones It’s time to check back in with everyone’s favourite mentally deficient CIA agent, Carrie Mathison! Now season 3 hasn’t been too great so far, but I think this episode might be a turning point, as we’re presented with very dramatic plot points....Delivered in extremely dull fashion. So, let’s get to it! AND NO, BRODY IS NOT IN THIS GODDAMN EPISODE! By Max Bosshart One nice thing about American Horror Story: Coven is how, for the most part, each episode continues where the last ended. The episode may open up with a flashback to a particular character's history, but its quick and gets back to what the audience is waiting for. Burn, Witch, Burn! Is no exception to this rule as is opens up with a brief glimpse into Delphine's sadistic relationship with her three daughters and then returns us to Marie's Halloween gift to the school, Voodoo zombies. |
