Never mind what that bloke at the electrical goods shop says; you don’t need a 3D TV. Tune into In the Flesh with your regular electric viewing slab of choice and you can see proper three-dimensional characters moving right in front of you. Because to really draw you in – to make you feel like … >
This week’s episode of Orphan Black is heavily concerned with the past. Sarah’s past comes back to haunt her in the form of Helena, after she’s spent her time digging up the history of Mrs S and the secrets of Project Leda. We open on the revelation that it was Cal who smashed into the … >
Bam! Once again, Game of Thrones’ fourth season has knocked it outta the park, continuing on its winning streak with this week’s cracking, twisty-tailed episode. Lysa Arryn took a last minute topple from her Moon Door, Oberyn Martell stepped forward to be Tyrion’s champion in his trial by combat, Mance Rayder’s men grew closer to … >
You could, especially after a few glasses of gin and a Katherine Heigl movie, argue that every relationship is doomed. For you and your partner it’s eventually going to end, either with a softly closed door and a note saying they’ve run off with the postie, or by one of you selfishly dropping dead first … >
