From the pen of Jed Mercurio (Bodies), Line of Duty takes place inside the complex, high-stakes world of a police internal investigation. First broadcast in mid-2012, this highly successful drama is finally coming to DVD ahead of its upcoming second series.
You remember how it was a few years ago. When the BBC announced that they were going to update Sherlock Holmes to the modern age, complete with mobile phones and blogs. It was all a bit worrying, wasn’t it?
So, the turkey corpse has been devoured, it suddenly sinks in that The Snowman’s Aled Jones is now 42 and presenting ITV’s Daybreak. Things are getting bleaker by the minute and it soon becomes apparent you need something to help you through these dark days. You need a Big-Ass Spider.
When plans were announced for a spin-off TV series based on Thomas Harris’ 1981 novel Red Dragon (the first appearance of cinematic horror icon Dr Hannibal ‘The Cannibal’ Lecter), with the creative team of Star Trek: Voyager and Heroes writer Bryan Fuller onboard alongside 30 Days Of Night director David Slade and the dream casting of charismatic Dane Mads Mikkelsen in the title role, expectations were understandably high.
With all the Christmas tat lining the shelves already, the office Secret Santa set to yield increasingly underwhelming results and that wretched John Lewis ad forever on our screens to pound us all into saccharine submission, it seems the season is well and truly upon us. Fittingly, this means it’s time for the belated DVD release of last year’s festive slasher pic, Silent Night.
When Nip/Tuck creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s American Horror Story first surfaced a couple of years ago, it proved to be a high camp, deliciously OTT small screen take on classic horror movie conventions.
So, it’s that time of year again: the nights have drawn in and the lights are turned off to evade persistent trick-or-treaters and the odd masked killer. All the usual seasonal re-releases have hit the pound shops in force and CultBox is left to sift through the creepiest offerings this Halloween.
Over the past couple of years we’ve been treated to some amazing Lego Star Wars treats on television (The Padawan Menace and The Empire Strikes Out) and so comes this collection of the first two episodes from the new series, The Yoda Chronicles.
CBBC’s Horrible Histories returns for a final series. It’s still very good, bowing out while the quality is still high and with the cast moving onto new things (The Wrong Mans, Yonderland).
