UPDATED: New Doctor Who Interview Video -- Matt Smith is the 11th Doctor? Matt Smith? And he is ...
IAmATVJunkie.com got a new series of Torchwood as an early X-mas gift! —
UPDATE: I watched the clip after the jump. It's not like it's important for the actor to plays the Doctor to have been a fan, but Matt Smith makes great pains to talk about his father's and grandfather's connection to the show and mentions Tom Baker and all but him? Nothin'. Of course, that's partly due to his age, I guess. Because as I've said all over the web, he's so so young. In fact, I'm old enough to be his Dad and I don't know if I'm comfortable with that. ...
New Doctor Who Interview Video -- Matt Smith is the 11th Doctor? Matt Smith? And he is ...
IAmATVJunkie.com got a new series of Torchwood as an early X-mas gift! —
... I know! Never heard of him before now either. We'll both meet him in the clip after the jump from YouTube and the BBC.
I keep thinking of that SNL sketch from years ago where David Spade works for Dick Clark Productions, and he turns to the office visitor and says, "And we know you from ..." I'm ...
DEMONS 1.1 – "The Bite"
Dan's Media Digest —
[image] [image] They say the first bite is the sweetest, but fantasy drama Demons left a very bitter taste in the mouth. ITV1's latest attempt to duplicate the success of Doctor Who, this was essentially Harry Potter-meets-Buffy from the creative force behind Hex , but with twice the suck... Demons is a coming-of-age tale about a teenage boy called Luke Rutherford ( Christian Cooke ) who meets his American godfather Rupert Galvin ( Philip Glenister ) and learns he's the descendent of famed vampire-hunter Abraham Van Helsing, ever since the death of his father when he was a baby. It explains why he has the reactions of a flea, and starts seeing ...

Pick Of The Week: "QI" -- BBC1, Fri, 9pm
I think we're back to normal service now, don't you? And it's New Year, so the schedules are fatter than they were before Christmas (just like the rest of us, eh?) This week's most mentionable new television shows, airing in the UK, are as follows:
MONDAY 5th
The Diary Of Anne Frank (BBC1, 7pm) Five-part drama based on the real story of a Jewish girl who ...
Sexiest Women On TV In 2008: #40 - #31
Dan's Media Digest —
[image] It's back! Bigger and better than ever before! After the surprise success of 2007's inaugural list (should I quit writing reviews and just upload photos of scantily-clad women every day?), I thought I'd make a considered effort to list the sexiest ladies I saw on television last year. Y'know, really give it some thought. Oh, it's a hard life... As before, there's a rule regarding who's eligible: only actresses that starred in a television drama or mini-series during 2008, as a regular or recurring character. So, no TV presenters, weather girls, guest-stars, or sitcom actresses, I'm afraid. The list is so big that it's being split into four parts, delivered ...
TV Week 29: Total Wipeout, The Krypton Factor & Gladiators
Dan's Media Digest —
The first TV Week of 2009 heralds its twenty-ninth edition. And it's something of a game-show special, with mini-reviews of BBC1's obstacle-based Total Wipeout, ITV1's revival of The Kryton Factor and Sky1's second season of new Gladiators. Check it out, and comment if you can! ...
The Sunday Night Project: A Rant
Dan's Media Digest —
[image] More fool me. I gave The Sunday Night Project another try last night, but it's still a hopelessly awful format. I like hosts Alan Carr and Justin Lee Collins (when he's not sticking his tongue out like a killer whale mid-laugh, that is), but SNP is a real stinker. Why? Well, personally, I just hate the whole guest-host idea. And that's the raison d'etre of SNP, sadly. There's nothing wrong with having celebrity guests, of course, but the fake way they have to pretend they're in charge of this shambles is terrible. The guests with experience of presenting cope better (and can sometimes make an episode pass by relatively painlessly), but most guests are actors or ...
Sexiest Women On TV In 2008: #30 - #21
Dan's Media Digest —
[image] Okay, so we're off and rolling. If you haven't done so already, you can catch-up with Part 1 of my four-part list here , before enjoying Part 2 below. We start today with #30... Scrunch-faced Jemima Rooper was the star of Lost In Austen (the female version of Life On Mars, spiritually), and proved to be a delightful and engaging heroine by the end. This was Jemima's first headlining role, but she's been in a stack of TV shows over the past 15 years. Lots of people may remember her lesbian scenes in Sky1's Hex. Or if not, they'll be acquainting themselves with them online in a few minutes. Not a conventional beauty, but Jemima's squinty eyes, bee-stung lips ...
Wanted (2008)
Dan's Media Digest —
[image] [image] Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) is a loser; a meek office boy stuck in a dead-end cubicle job, harassed by a battleaxe supervisor, prone to panic attacks, and aware his girlfriend's shagging his best-friend. A grenade is thrown into his insular life, in the shapely form of enigmatic uber babe Fox (Angelina Jolie); a sexy, agile, ruthless, tattooed super-assassin -- who reveals to milquetoast Wes that he's the progeny of her recently-killed colleague, and has become the next target... Wanted marks the English-language debut of Russian filmmaker Timur Bekmambetov, best-known for the stylish but derivative Night Watch and Day Watch movies. A slightly more coherent script ...
