I can't remember why this popped into my head, but I was sitting with my wife and it just did, so I searched it out and memories of school came flooding back. The Elements by Tom Lehrer is a song that sings the periodic table of elements, well as many...

I find this incredible. The BBFC are coming under fire for releasing the David Cronenberg film Eastern Promises uncut, despite the high level of violence. Now my issue is not with the fact that they are releasing it uncut, I'm actually pleased they are, mine is with their inconsistency. The...

I am really not a fan of reality shows, but one does get me hooked every time it's on, and that's The X Factor. Usually though I lose interest after the auditions are out of the way, because frankly I love seeing some of the complete nutters on the early...

Just yesterday, as we sat and watched Lost a flash of inspiration came to me. I think I've figured it out. My girlfriend asked what I thought, and she asked a lot, so I told her. Surprisingly she agreed, and after the episode finished we were both really convinced. I'm...

What's happening to the intelligence and\or attention span of the UK television viewer? Are we becoming just like the US viewers, in that we're either watching a few minutes of any show, or forget what's happened during the advert breaks? The reason I ask is that more and more shows...

It's been an exciting morning. First, and very late - I was about to complain, was Star Wars Trilogy DVD Boxset. I'm desperate to go play it and listen to it on the home cinema...but I shan't. This is all I'll do today about Star Wars, write about it! Secondly,...
