Every Game of Thrones Infographic You Could Ever Need

With Game of Thrones just around the corner for many and hopefully my year long belief that Jon Snow is not permanently dead about to be proven right, I thought that I would do a special post full of entertaining and informative infographics for all fans of this epic tale.  I hope you enjoy it… Continue reading Every Game of Thrones Infographic You Could Ever Need

It’s goodnight from me … and it’s goodnight from him.

These days so many of us watch or have to watch people with little talent on a Saturday night trying to sing, dance or make us laugh.  It wasn’t so long ago that our Saturday evenings were spent watching people with actual talent.  Many of them could sing, dance, act and make us laugh.  Few… Continue reading It’s goodnight from me … and it’s goodnight from him.

Best TV adverts and commercials

This week marks the 60th anniversary of the first television advertisements on British television with the creation of the first Independent Television channel to take on the BBC which famously (and in my view, thanks heavens for that) doesn’t show any television advertising. Maybe it is because in the U.K. we all very easily able… Continue reading Best TV adverts and commercials

Writing For Television – My first TV script from 1996!

Yesterday whilst looking for something else on the internet, I came across a 20 year-old website that I had created.  It’s no longer live but had been archived away somewhere and I was amazed to find my very first television manuscript on the site.  This was rather fortuitous as the original files are on computers… Continue reading Writing For Television – My first TV script from 1996!

The Top Movies and TV Shows of 2014

Until a few weeks ago I thought that 2014 was going to turn out to be a relatively poor year for cinema-goers.  There was a flurry of interesting films in the spring but with a total lack of big name films such as James Bond or Star Trek, there seemed to be a long period… Continue reading The Top Movies and TV Shows of 2014

The Walking Dead

Last year I wrote a number of Halloween related posts but this year I thought instead that I would write a little about my current favourite TV show which is very apt for Halloween, The Walking Dead. I’m not sure why I have always liked horror as a genre, I remember watching my first modern horror… Continue reading The Walking Dead

Why is there no history on History TV?

I know, I’m a bit old-fashioned.  I like history, I visit historical places, I read about history and write about it too and when I switch on the History TV channel, I kind of expect history too.  I used to find it too until a few years ago. When the History Channel started, it was… Continue reading Why is there no history on History TV?
