TV Teasers - Gotham Villains

6/21/2014

by Helen Langdon

The Gotham team are spoiling us. Hot on the heels of the trailer introducing us to the world of Gotham and the murder of Bruce Wayne’s parents, comes this showcase of some of Gotham’s villains. It’s not a comprehensive list, missing even the brief glimpses of Edward Nygma (the Riddler) and Ivy Pepper (Poison Ivy) that we saw in the original trailer, but it’s an exciting look at three of the villains who look like they might be James Gordon’s biggest foes in Gotham’s first series.

Danger Mouse News

6/17/2014

By Helen Langdon

It’s been 22 years since Danger Mouse last exploded onto our screens (quite literally – who can forget all of the explosions DM had to escape from in the opening titles?), but you can’t keep a good super-spy rodent down. A new animated series has just been announced for 2015, airing on the CBBC channel.

Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars

When Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012, there was probably not as much wailing as you might think. After all, nothing could be worse than Phantom Menace (don’t let us down, JJ!) and the House of Mouse have shown they’re pretty good at staying hands-off with their newly acquired properties, as seen with Marvel. But there’s one more glorious consequence of the merger, before we get the new animated series Star Wars: Rebels and Star Wars Episode VII (The one with Han’s broken ankle). The Phineas and Ferb Star Wars crossover episode has just been given the American airdate of July 26th.

Father's Day: The Dads of Doctor Who

6/15/2014

By Helen Langdon

When Doctor Who first returned to our screens in 2005, good ol’ Russell T Davies filled it with his favourite type of characters – mothers. From Jackie Tyler to Nancy to the Doctor’s mother randomly popping up, motherhood is a recurring theme. But fathers are just as important in the Whoniverse, and we’re here to talk about Nu!Who and its fathers on Father’s Day.

The Box Set: Twin Peaks

The Box Set is I’m With Geek’s attempt to encourage more people to watch a TV series that they may have missed the first time round, then discuss how it made them feel. Happy? Sad? Filled with impotent rage? Who knows…

The Saddest Robots on TV

5/25/2014

By Helen Langdon

Robots often get the short end of the stick when it comes to sci-fi universes. After all, they don’t have to sleep, or eat, or breathe, and so they get all of the crappy jobs. There’s no kind of union to whom they can complain about their lot in life. There don’t tend to be robot psychiatrists to hear their woes. Most of the time, the humans around them seem to view them purely as a convenience, rather than a functioning human being in their own right. It’s not just Marvin the Paranoid Android who has it bad. Here’s the most desperately unhappy robots (and AIs) on TV.

Discworld: Where's The Watch TV Series?

5/25/2014

By Helen Langdon

There have been a few attempts at transporting Discworld to the screen, from Cosgrove Hall’s animated adaptations of Soul Music and Wyrd Sisters, to the more recent Sky productions of Hogfather, The Colour of Magic and Going Postal. But beyond the brief glimpses we get of such characters as Angua, Nobby Nobbs and Visit-The-Infidel-With-Explanatory-Pamphlets, the Watch novels have yet to reach our television sets. Why?

BAFTA Television Awards - The Winners!

5/19/2014

by Helen Langdon

Following on from the TV Craft Awards a couple of weeks ago, Sunday night saw the Arqiva BAFTA TV Awards. In a night filled with glitz and glamour, the best of British TV was celebrated in London. Sadly, the night didn’t feature Sarah Millican taking on last year’s Twitter trolls by defying social convention and (gasp) wearing the same dress twice. Read her words here.

Today sees not just one piece of good news for TV news for Marvel fans, but two! Firstly, Agents of SHIELD has just been renewed for season two – good timing, considering the season finale airs in just a few days’ time. It’s the series that gets to show the wider implications of events in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, such as the clean-up of London after Thor: The Dark World, and surviving in the climate of betrayal after Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

But that’s not the most important news. Rumours have been flying around for months, and today it was confirmed that ABC will be airing a full series of Agent Carter, with Hayley Atwell starring as the character first introduced in Captain America: The First Avenger.

Star Wars Day: (The) Clone Wars

5/4/2014

By Helen Langdon

When the Star Wars prequel trilogy came out in cinemas, there was one event glaringly omitted from the story. The Clone Wars, brought into action by the events of Episode II, with its end battles portrayed in Episode III, have been part of the Star Wars mythos since the very beginning. After all, the Clone Wars instigated the creation of the Empire, and Anakin’s transformation into Darth Vader. Luckily for fans, Lucasfilm adapted the story of the Clone Wars into two separate animated series.
