This week’s story from Wizards Vs Aliens continues Series 2’s strong form with some extraordinary CGI work, a fantastically unexpected team-up and some moral quandaries to face.
For a series named after one of history’s most notorious misogynists, Ripper Street rarely gives us the female perspective.

After last week’s focus on Hercules and his romantic travails, we returned to a broader story which drew in the members of the Altantean royal court.

Beginning with some sweaty physical action, Hercules took part in a wrestling contest seeking to impress Medusa. In the aftermath of his inevitable defeat, Jason and Pythagoras discussed their friend’s shortcomings and the foolishness of his infatuation.
