I'm not sure why they chose to enlarge that specific episode, but it's clearly the first episode of The Robots of Death which is probably my favourite Tom Baker serial, and one of my favourite Who stories ever, so it's as good an excuse as any to recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it yet. The characters, the…

Since mainlining the show for the first time I've sporadically checked Lennon and Jessica's twitters to see if they'd gotten a second season, complained loudly to no one in particular every time I read they still hadn't heard anything yet, before going back to forgetting to check for any updates for another couple of…

There are five new shows from this year that I ended up binging on all in one go and the first thing I did after finishing them was recommend them to anyone who would listen, and because all but one of them has already been mentioned and widely praised in general—namely Broad City, Enlisted, Transparent, and You're…

They went on hiatus for two weeks following his injury so that they could adjust the production schedule to account for his recovery time. Sure, they eventually continued filming without him, but taking two weeks to shuffle things around his absence would suggest he's not exactly a minor part of the movie.

I imagine the little droid riding on a football's inclusion is more to do with it being a practical effect, and thus actually available to use, more than anything else. I haven't been keeping up with all of the news about the movie, but the one video I watched of J.J. Abrams on set promoting some kind of charity…

Given Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill were given trainers and nutritionists to get in shape before filming began, Fisher moved to the UK for six months to shoot her part, and the fact they shut down production after Harrison Ford was injured rather than just shooting around him, I'm assuming they have fairly major roles…

Gavin & Stacey was so intrinsically Welsh I can't imagine how an American remake would even work, but I actually like a lot of the cast so I was kind of bummed when it wasn't aired just because I was so curious to see what they did with it. Is it actually any good?

So long as he's not playing the lead in this trilogy, that is. Mark Hamill and Hayden Christensen probably struggled the most to find success post-Star Wars.

I love them, too, don't worry! I get it. And on the plus side they both work so much that even if they do produce some things you're not a fan of they're sure to continue bringing you something you'll enjoy in some form or another.

I always found it strange that on top of that scene as-filmed, which was already very sweet and a suitable end to the series, the producer asked Andrew Cartmel to write the Doctor's final little monologue which was dubbed over them walking off into the distance together. I mean, I like the monologue and the sentiment…

Wait, USA's moving away from comedy programming? What does that mean for Playing House? I know they hadn't announced a second season, but I really loved the first ,and was holding out hope there'd be more. Somewhat naively, I suppose, it didn't get great ratings. And I'm assuming it really doesn't have the audience to…

I mean, if you look at the shows Amy's produced that have gone to series so far she's involved with Parks and Recreation, The Mighty B!, Welcome to Sweden, and Broad City, which is a better track-record than most. Then, of course, there's her web-series. Her approach to producing so far seems to be finding people who…

I'm pretty sure the owner of the original mask said that after hearing about the series they contacted The Weinstein Company and they were informed the TV show wouldn't be using the design, although the door has been left open to the possibility of it showing up in the future. They were quick to stress it wasn't their…

Yeah, all her shows are pretty soapy, so if it's not your thing I'm sure it can grate—I haven't ever been a huge fan of any of them. I haven't been watching How to Get Away with Murder but Rhimes is only actually involved as a producer, so its tone could be totally different. I'll probably check it out for the cast…

Well, Shonda Rhimes seems to be respecting her, at least. She's showed up in all her shows now. Guest spots in Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice, recurring on Scandal, and now main cast member on How to Get Away with Murder—there are definitely way worse career trajectories. But I agree, she has the chops to be…

Oh, definitely. I assume she wouldn't be pushing it so hard if everyone didn't already have more episodes written into their contract should it be renewed/get a longer season order. I just wish I had even a fraction of the enthusiasm she has about the show's prospects about… basically anything, tbh.

Oh, that sucks, it's a kick in the teeth when a show you like starts to find its footing, only for the rug to get pulled out from underneath it. Honestly, I'm much more cut up about the cancellation of Selfie than A to Z, which grew leaps and bounds by the second episode alone and was the only new network comedy this…

To be fair, NBC has committed to actually airing the rest of their episode order as planned, so it's not like they're hitching their wagon to something that will never see the light of day. I mean, Enlisted was deemed worth watching and reviewing even when it was relegated to summer burn-offs, both because of its…

Do you know what's fun? The twins from Good Charlotte relocated to Australia to be judges/coaches/mentors or whatever on the Australian version of The Voice, and apparently they're genuinely really popular because they've started releasing music again and their song, "We Are Done", went to number one in Australia and…

I know, I wasn't attacking you! I think it's fun when people point out things I didn't notice, so I can look out for them in the future, whereas you said you'd have used the money elsewhere because you had to have it pointed out. I was just providing a different perspective, and pointing out money probably wasn't much…
