Are you a Whovian? Do you believe in ‘Sherlock’? Nuts for ‘Top Gear’? A-flutter over ‘Downton Abbey’? What British TV show (sorry, telly programme) has you hooked?
When did it become okay to hold up Zooey Deschanel and ‘New Girl’ as examples of affronts to feminism? And can we please make it stop?
‘Merlin’s’ knights of the round table open up on favorite scenes, fan interactions, Tom Hopper’s arms, and what exactly Eoin Macken does to keep his hair looking so great.
