Ashes to Ashes – 1981 still looks awful

It’s been nearly two years since Life on Mars ended its 16 episode run on BBC One. I, for one, have missed it.

In fact, the end of a long-running series is sometimes the point where the most growth and change occurs. On this week’s installment of the medical drama we saw […]

No more According to Jim? Don’t mess with me, ABC – Open Letters

To the bean counters and pole sitters over at ABC: You’re toying with my emotions. Here I am in a fragile enough state, what with the economy plunging down the water slide of recession. Now I’m hearing news that one of the banes of my existence, one of the thorns in my side, one of my […]
