The Secret of Crickley Hall is a classic ghost train ride of a horror story.
Blimey, someone other than those pesky titular aliens are looking for wizards in the latest instalment of the CBBC tea-time treat.
Most notably this episode had lots more fights and it always strikes us how brutal and jarring they are.
The dramatic conclusion to this week’s Fringe is something that hardly anybody could’ve seen coming.
The real star of the show is Abi Morgan’s script, sharply conjuring up a world of cocktails and misogyny and “You’ve never had it so good”.
The whole episode plays out as a wonderful light relief after last week’s drama, but yet somehow never feels insubstantial either.
Wizards vs Aliens reaches the halfway point and takes quite the shift in tone in comparison to the opening two stories.
We’ve been hard on Switch recently, but it appears Episode 5 has had a ‘slight improvement’ spell cast upon it.
We can see this cast starting to gel together, and Episode 3 is proof the show is beginning to hit a comfortable stride.
There’s no doubt that after ‘A Gettysburg Address’, Homeland is capable of recovering from even the most somnambulistic lulls.
