My viewing habits are well documented, the majority of my blog posts begin or lead to a moment from the television screen. My wife and I tend to focus on watching television shows during the week and save our movies for the weekend. However, sometimes an old classic is shown on Film4 or ITV2 and […]
Never As Good, Second Time Around
Have you been watching ITV2 on Thursday nights at 9pm. Purely just the fact that Andi (with an ‘i’) Peters narrates this nostalgic trip down musical memory lane from the turn of the century, should be enough for most people. I am of course referring to The Big Reunion. The broadcasters attempt to bring back […]
The Next Karate Kid
Watch from 00:39…
Identifying Songs
When I hear a song I do not know, I have to quickly identify it. For a while, when my HTC Desire was brand spanking new (late 2010) I had Shazam installed and would use it at every available opportunity. However, over two years later, my Desire lacks the memory space to hold any useful […]
Selective Amnesia
As most people know I consider myself a connoisseur of the creative medium of music videos, having amassed a collection beyond the one thousand barrier. I keep a look out for new music videos from time to time, although I tend not live on YouTube as you might expect. Without MTV at our flat (a […]
The Dagobah Knight Rises

One Headline, Why Believe It
Mid to late September is a crucial time for the US television networks. As the nights begin to draw in, the television schedule kicks off again with all of our favourites and some new shows to consider. Glee, now in series four, started a few weeks back and the majority of shows kicked off this […]
Commercial Television Debut
Before we get onto our feature presentation, we have a word from the London Cycle Hire sponsor. Watch out for my dear friend Ali make his television debut in the commercial for bank. Look out for the full version coming to a television set near you. Try to resist the temptation to fast-forward through the […]
What Would Harvey Do?
I pick up a copy of the Metro each weekday morning as I make my way to platform two of Slough station. I tend to give the freesheet a quick browse but do not get time to do more than skim some articles. My train journey is only fifteen minutes and although I used to […]
The One & Only
Being a creature of routine, I have very much settled into my new morning ritual. From January, I decided to get into work as early as humanly possible (being able to leave work early does sweeten the deal somewhat). This meant a change from catching the 07:04 train from Slough to the earlier service at […]
