The first season of Marvel spin-off Agent Carter (finally) completed its run in the UK last month. So now that Peggy has put paid to the evil machinations of Leviathan, it’s time to look to the future. Peggy and her pals will return in a 10-part second season in 2016, which is to be set … >

In a neat parallel to the dramatic climax of the first Captain America movie, ‘Valediction’ sees Peggy in radio contact with the pilot of an aircraft loaded with deadly weaponry and on a seemingly-doomed mission. This time the pilot is Howard Stark rather than Captain America. And this time the good guys win across the … >
If last week’s episode of Agent Carter belonged to the women then ‘Snafu’, with all due respect to the title character, really belongs to the men. Take Mr Jarvis, the effete English manservant who serves both as Howard Stark’s representative and as Agent Carter’s foil. Full of inspiration and improvisation he turns up at SSR … >

If Agent Carter had been involved with the suffragette movement I can’t help thinking the vote would have come a lot sooner because within the space of only five episodes Peggy has managed to go from being patronised and ignored by the rest of the SSR, to being invited out for an after-work drink with … >
I can’t remember the last time I went to see a film where I had expectations quite as low as I had for Fantastic Four. With Ant-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy, I didn’t know what to expect and they both turned out to be triumphs. So I decided to keep an open mind about … >

And although she is an agent with the SSR, she’s also working secretly on behalf of Howard Stark, wanted fugitive (to the SSR) and former wartime colleague (to Agent Carter). Just like … >
