Work has been a bit mental today, but I just wanted to quickly point out how much I thoroughly enjoyed the first episode of Being Human on BBC3 last night. I missed the original pilot, but the first episode last night set a really interesting tone, managed to avoid all of the pitfalls of Genre TV(unlike [...]
Ellen has been having trouble sleeping of late, and so I popped into my local drug emporium (Morrisons) and picked up some Nytol. Ellen duly popped a few just before we watched Skins and made her way upstairs to sleep the sleep of the dead. Strangely, I then seemed to inherit her sleeplessness and found myself unable [...]
