Here’s a bit of a mystery. Is there a connection between a YouTube upload called UFO sighting UK, a Twitter account run by UFOspotter84 and the latest Celebrity Big Brother. The YouTube video and the Twitter account are clearly connected. The user who uploaded the UFO video is called UFOSpotter and the Twitter account may […]
Star in Supernatural series five – win the Lucifer is Coming game
UK TV channel Living TV not only has the exclusive rights to air series 5 of the show it is launching a game to promote it. Guilty secret: I quite like Supernatural. I’m sure it was the tagline “making scary sexy” that caught my attention although they’ve kinda let that go; haven’t they? I’m miles […]
The Adidas goes Star Wars ad
I don’t have much time for trainer junkies, or sports wear, or, well, sports in general – but Star Wars! Star Wars is another issue. So far I’ve resisted posting pictures of either Star Wars baseball caps or Star Wars shoes but this Star Wars / adidas Originals TV ad is too good to ignore. […]
Sexy Spartacus: Blood and Sand comics and trailers have Starz on a roll
The media company Starz are having a good run up to Spartacus: Blood and Sand. I’m not even in the US, am not even sure I’m going to get to see the show and I’m already getting excited about it. Everyone is describing the show as a mashup of Snyder’s 300 and the HBO Rome […]
Tower of Druaga anime opening
Over at AnimeVoice, Gia Manry has found the opening sequence to the MMORPG version of the Tower of Druaga. It looks good but comes from the ill-fated Gonzo animation studio which is all but lost to us know. Gia dares to speculate that Gonzo might be getting cash for this effort. Hmm. Let’s be optimistic!

Matt Smith, as the Doctor, on the cover of Doctor Who magazine
The latest edition of the Doctor Who magazine is out in the UK today. Guess who’s on the front cover? That’s right. Matt Smith. We can see the prominent bow-tie again and I suspect if BBC’s marcoms people keep on signing off on these images it’s the bow-tie that’ll become the trademark 11th Doctor feature. […]
Monsuno monsters are coming
The US’s third largest toy producer Jakks has signed a deal with the Japanese animation giant Dentsu to create an anime TV show based around monsters. It’ll be called Monsuno. It’s a simple plan. Make the show. Sell the toys. It’s a formula that’s worked very well in the past but this is Jakks’ first […]
BBC’s “Doctor Who Greatest Moments” snubs original Doctors
This might be an over reaction. It might be – but it really rubs me the wrong way. After The End of Time part 2 had played on UK TV the BBC ran a series of follow up shows including Doctor Who confidential. One of these shows was “Doctor Who Greatest Moments”. Great! I thought. […]
