    Stephen Fry Appreciation Monday – or a lesson in cleaning up your own shit

    Dear faithful readers, I don’t know if you are aware of this (and I don’t blame if you are not) but Mr. Fry was involved in a bit of controversy a few weeks ago. When I say a bit of a controversy I actually mean a big old controversy because he only managed to insult [...]

    TV season so far

    Dear faithful readers, how is your TV season shaping out? I do have to admit I find it all a bit… well… meh really. I haven’t even started on Dexter (which used to be a favorite of mine), I only watched one episode of Dollhouse and thinking of kicking it to the curb because quite [...]

    Dear faithful readers, have you seen the trailer for Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus? I’ll be the first to admit these types of movies are really not for me. I mean just look at the trailer – visual overload galore. It usually leaves me jittery somehow and I have a hard time concentrating on the story [...]

    Oh how the mighty have fallen. You know I might have never watched an episode of Gossip Girl, not even one episode of the all new (but not improved) Beverly Hills or Melrose Place but I am no better. I might think I am a snob but I am not. I am a total pleb. [...]

    When TV and fashion mix – 9 fashion forward shows of the last few decades

    Fashion can be many things. Outrageous, fun and interesting (think Alexander McQueen or Vivienne Westwood). Or it can be down right stupid (think pin size models with lollipop heads). But no matter what you might think of fashion – whether you live by the latest trends or could not care less what is fashionable at [...]

    Dear faithful readers, by now you have probably heard that Kingdom has been canceled. If you haven’t heard you can read all about it over at Mr. Fry’s blog. Buggery bollocks and bum in a jock strap I say! Yes I am fully aware it is not a revolutionary show like Lost lets say. It [...]

    Dear faithful readers, No – you have not messed your dates up – it really is not Monday. And I am aware we have not done one of our Stephen Fry Appreciation Mondays in a while. I do apologize but I was lacking inspiration. That does not mean I am any less fond of Mr. [...]

    Dear faithful readers, have you had the chance to check out ABC’s latest offering Flashforward? Do you know it is not half bad really. I did not want to write anything before I have seen at least 2 episodes and given it is still the early days and there is plenty of time to completely [...]

    Dear faithful readers – yes I just realized what I wrote in the title. But in for a penny, in for a pound. Or whatever the saying goes. I have started watching Mad Men just recently. I watched it on a DVD and then it started on the telly and every single time I would [...]

    Dear faithful readers, since the chilly autumn weather is upon us it got me thinking about those old movies that are a bit like comfort food. Sure I do not mind trying out something new and exciting but sometimes you just crave something that is familiar, good and tasty. Don’t get me wrong I do [...]
