I just saw this video on youtube and just had to post it here – an amazing video / remix called “The Golden Age Of Video” by Ricardo Autobahn:

Try and see how many classic movies and TV shows you can spot!
This deserves extra kudos for the way the Audio syncs with the Videos with a [...]

Torchwood, what happened to you?
Moved from the obscurity of BBC3 to BBC1. Shown at primetime, and on consecutive nights no less. This has turned from it’s “sexy scifi” origins into a real TV event.
And, boy – did it deliver!
I, and many other Dr. Who / Torchwood fans, did not expect [...]

Here in the UK there are a few good sources of online TV, mainly the BBC iPlayer (excellent), Channel 4 On Demand (4OD, works well), and now the ITV Player. All give you a selection of catch-up TV (usually a week or 30 days depending on the program) as well as older, archived programs and [...]

After the travesty that was the latest – and probably last – season of Prison Break, and the messy but finally reinvigorated Heroes I was running out of hope for my favourite US TV Series.
New this year are Lost Season 5, 24 Season 7, and the continuation of CSI Season 9 (without Grissom…).
First up, we [...]

The BBC Iplayer is the UK’s main catch-up and program streaming service. Unlike the USA where almost every TV network have their own services, or perhaps use Hulu, here we really have only Iplayer, 4oD (Channel 4 on Demand), ITV and Joost.
But… Iplayer is excellent! I rarely watch TV these days – I’d rather just [...]

Merlin is the new primetime BBC series, that takes the Arthurian legend into the kind of territory that was used for the channels Robin Hood and others.
So yes, it’s a “re-imagining” of the classic. It concerns a young Merlin and a young Arthur. In this series, Uther is on the throne of Camelot, and has [...]

So, the first Google Android based phone has been shown. Here in the UK it will be offered by T-Mobile and is a HTC/Google model.
Looking at this video I must say I’m a little underwhelmed. It doesn’t seem to do anything special at all, and it doesn’t have the wow-factor of the iPhone. The only [...]

So… Heroes is back!
And, I’m glad to say, it’s as brilliant as ever
Unlike, say, Prison Break Heroes has me hooked right from the start. After a sadly shortened second season due to the writers strike it seems the best has been kept until now.
Like Lost, Heroes has a continuing storyline constantly referencing events [...]

Prison Break – one of my favourites among the high class US dramas (along with Heroes, 24 and Lost) – is now at Season 4. The first two episodes have aired.
After escaping from Fox River, being on the run, then escaping Sona, our “heroes” now find themselves trying to bring down the mysterious Company .
