Downton Abbey returns next month for a final season. With the last ever episode due to air on Christmas Day, following eight episodes this autumn, we had a think about what we’d like the show’s many characters to get up to before they take their final bow. Cue the titles… Tom and Sybbie are off … >
Downton Abbey is back and has returned to former glory. Whilst the show has been critically acclaimed since its inception, there were a lot of complaints that the recent two seasons were focusing too much on the love affairs of Lady Mary and her various suitors. I’d be inclined to agree – the show is … >

The gaudy cinematic sci-fi zoetrope that is Dr. Who and the Daleks turned 50 this week which, depending on who you are, is either cause for celebration and re-watch, or outright ambivalence and a quick sneer in the comments section.

So, Episode 9 of the new Doctor Who season is going to be a ‘found-footage’ story. Perhaps you’re sceptical and/or excited. It’s okay to feel both. For every Blair Witch Project, Cloverfield or Chronicle, there’s a hundred imitations that spawn grainy mind-tripe like Apollo 18, Paranormal Activity 4 and Project X. Whatever the outcome for … >
We’re all pretty much in agreement that Penny Dreadful saw a marked upswing in quality in its recent second season. This was largely thanks to the boosted role for Helen McCrory – a far better villain than the faceless vampires from Season 1.

Shane Meadows completes his This Is England trilogy when the final four-part chapter, set in 1990, comes to Channel 4 this September.

As well as featuring a return for the most beloved classic Doctor Who … >
