Doctor Who – New Season Trailer
I’ve never quite had the love for Doctor Who. I mostly understood the appeal, but it never really quite resonated with me. When Russell T Davies rebooted the series with Christopher Eccleston in the lead, I enjoyed the fresh take on the series, but it still never became must-see viewing. I chalk that up mostly [...]

Elizabeth Taylor
As a Gen Y’er on the very cusp of Gen X’hood, I’ll admit that the films of Elizabeth Taylor have never really resonated with me. Outside of Giant, I cannot think of many Taylor films that have really spoken to me. Over the next few days, it’s likely that we’ll see quite a number of [...]

Ten have confirmed that the Ten News At 5 will be extended to 90 minutes, making way for 6PM With George Negus to move to 6:30pm. The changes are in effect from Monday April 4. Hour long news bulletins are always interesting in the way that major headline news is repeated for those who’ve joined [...]

READ MORE6:30PM With George Negus – What’s The Point?
I’m on record as liking the idea of the Ten news block. 2.5 hours of news seems excessive when looking at it as a continuous block on a schedule, but in terms of counter-programing, picking up the 9-5 workers as they get home, and maintaining a consistent viewer-base from the 5pm news to The 7PM [...]
