Ashes to Ashes…
So. Let me get this straight. Gene Hunt is the patron saint of the police force. Literally. He is The Guv’nor of a purgatory in which any copper can right the wrongs of their compromised lives and/or deaths before passing on to the next plain, which is Heaven if you’re a good boy, or Hell if you’re [...]

Happy Birthday George Lucas!
He may only have made a handful of great films and directed just one of them, but George Lucas deserves a 14th of May, birthday greeting anyway. I know he likes going back and tinkering with stuff that geeks the world over hold close to their hearts. Like I know that the last Indiana Jones [...]

Yes, Prime Minister: A New Hope?
Oh yes, it was only two months ago that I was pleading with everyone not to vote Tory but you crazed muthas did it anyway, and you couldn’t even do that right.

Yessir, I remember when lil’ Chef came to me back in ’78. He’d seen some Eyetalian movie with a couple a’ spidey-legged continental types doin’ the big jiggy and wanted to get a bit of the action for his birthday – poppin’ his cherry for the big 1-0.
