Wrapping up in style, with warm sunshine and sandy beaches, the series finale concerned the fate of some long lost Caribbean booty, namely a pistol and emerald ring belonging to the infamous pirate privateer Captain Morgan (yes, like the rum). Although Hooten had struck out on his own, leaving Lady Alex to her impending marriage, … >
Who is Ross Poldark to you? Is he selfless or selfish? To be admired or admonished? An idol or an idiot? Sexy or sexist? I’m running out of alliteration now, so hopefully you’ve made up your mind and we can move on to the next paragraph. The fact is he’s all of these things, it’s … >
With the Elster software spreading like a virus, Humans starts to explore the idea that acquired consciousness doesn’t automatically mean instantly acquired intelligence. For instance, my 10 month old nephew possesses a consciousness, and he keeps smushing broccoli into the carpet and repeatedly forgets that he’s scared of Mr. Pontipine’s moustache on In The Night … >
Closing the story of ITV’s three-part domestic horror series, HIM ends on a real high, with some interesting developments that made last night’s instalment the best episode of the drama so far and a fitting end to the story. “I need time to process this. It’s a lot to calibrate.” The action picks up straight … >
It would have been way too easy at this point for Crazyhead to slip quietly into the comfortable Freak of the Week format so coveted by other genre shows.

The second season of Humans is here and it’s going global, hitting all the glamorous locations on the map. Berlin! San Francisco! Bolivia! Nottingham! … >
While Debbie attempts to convince her husband that Scotland’s not actually that great a place to move to, a new hero emerges in Yonderland to do… heroisms. Let’s be real, guys: this can only end badly, can’t it? But things are going from bad to worse anyway! Cue me pantomime shouting BUT HE’S A VERY … >
After last week’s episode the Internet jury is still out on whether Ross Poldark is a rapist. Some of the audience think not, others think so. A drama about sexy mining has suddenly become a sex-offending minefield. Seeing the reaction over the past week has been like watching 12 Angry Men, if 12 Angry Men … >
Nine weeks after their rather fractious adventure in Moscow, which resulted in a bust up between the pair, we pick up with Hooten on the trail of another fabled item; this time the wish-fulfilling Chintamani jewel. Searching in the Cambodian jungle, Tomb Raider style, he is on the trail of artefacts which hold clues to … >
