You can’t beat a good book in the garden on a summer’s day (anyone remember when we used to have summers in the UK?). Nothing can compete with a really good read — a great description is involving than the best special effects Hollywood will ever produce, good dialogue sounds all the better when it’s … >
Conspicuous by their absence for the first six seasons of Doctor Who, but given their enduring popularity, it was inevitable that the Earth’s former inhabitants would menace the Doctor on screen eventually. Over the years, the prehistoric monsters have been seeing flying over London, albeit in an alternate, broken timeline in ‘The Wedding of River … >
Molly Hooper has been a firm fan favourite ever since the first season of Sherlock hit our screens back in July 2010. Awkward and adorable, Molly was hopelessly in love with Sherlock when we first met her. Her various bids to impress him faced Sherlock’s indifference and disinterest, but Molly never gave up on him … >
Motorbikes have featured in some of cinema’s most memorable moments throughout the years. Metropolis Motorcycles are lucky enough to have many of these famous brands and models available so that you can ride away on your very own iconic screen motorbike. Let’s take a look at ten of the most recognisable motorbikes from the movies… … >
When thinking of the best fictional spies, your mind most probably jumps to the likes of James Bond, Jason Bourne and Jack Bauer. But what is it that those three have in common, apart from the initials JB (anyone know why that’s a rule?) – they’re all men. Though they might not always be as … >

Until halfway through Sherlock’s second season, we didn’t even know his full name: he was just Lestrade, Sherlock’s link to Scotland Yard; the detective inspector who recognises Sherlock’s worth in the crime-fighting world and lets him in on cases that are proving difficult. As … >
As we face the agonising wait until Doctor Who returns to our screens in ‘The Magician’s Apprentice’, now would be a good time to reflect on some of the characters we’ve met so far in Peter Capaldi’s era. A strong season with a memorable guest cast has the tendency to leave me with an impressively … >
The Zygons are making another comeback with a two-part adventure in the new season of Doctor Who, written by Peter Harness (‘Kill the Moon’). To celebrate their return, following their brief reappearance in 2013’s ‘The Day of the Doctor’, we decided to take a look at which other classic monsters and villains are overdue a … >
We know that as fans we’re not supposed to say it, but Doctor Who can be boring. Over 52 years and more than 250 stories, how can the odd snoozeathon not slip in?
