Revisiting 80s UK game show Interceptor

“I like it!” Remember the short-lived 1980s helicopter-based game show Interceptor? Er, Jamie does… Spoiler alert: youre the robots. The nightmare seemed significantly longer. It dont make us feel good; and furthermore youve really upset Lynne Truss). Eight measly hours, including adverts. It struck such a deep, resonating chord within my nine-year-old soul that something of an existential crisis followed. I didnt want to be me or Peter Venkman anymore: I wanted to be the Interceptor....

The top 25 films of Steve Martin

And Im now going through the stages of introducing my own kids to his work. For me, though, I had no curator. That, or wait for ITV to stick one of his films on. This, then, is clearly going to be a very subjective countdown were about to embark on. But rather than chat about those, Id rather talk about this little lot… So Steve Martin didnt try.

Doctor Who series 9: latest trailer breakdown

Or somewhere in between. We suspect you have too. This is a series about two friends going on adventures. I have nothing to say other than they look fantastic. So, this could be from the first story of the series. Has this happened enough for it to qualify as a Moffat Trope, do we think? Like, say, having the word Girl in an episode title? Heres a picture of Maisie Williams looking like shes planning to steal Jenna Colemans job....

Impractical Jokers: Funny, silly, and well worth watching

Id catch the odd segment here and there and would chuckle before flipping over. Then, maybe Id leave it on. Its not a program I would have consciously made an effort to sit down and watch, though. The show format isnt particularly interesting or unique. Thats fine, but its not the most inspiring set up. What hooked me, though, is that it makes me laugh so much. There have been pranks onImpractical Jokersthat have made me double over laughing....

Summer blockbusters 2015, and what’s defined as a hit

Ant-Man hit, Terminator: Genisys failed, yet both made around the same amount of money. So what actually is a hit movie? Furthermore,Terminator: GenisysandFantastic Fourare the lucky recipients of the term box office bomb this season. But its not quite as clear as that. Furthermore, theres a rush to denote films as a hit or miss. Thats not so clickbait-y a story, though. But it all points to the fact that we never see the full spreadsheet....

The relationship between PR and movie journalists

How do film websites get access to movies early? And what kind of things go on behind the scenes? And, in turn, the way the film media world works. Instead, what Im trying to do is pull the curtain back a little. Ad content continues below It doesnt always work like that of course. Some films have been eulogised about by PR contacts, and turned out to be cobblers. But generally, a good majority of people that we talk to in film PR are genuine film lovers....

Wowow: The 1990s Taito Console That Never Was

Its a lesser-known fact, however, that Taito was once on the cusp of releasing its own console. In the early 1990s, the Japanese company was working on a system called the Wowow. Unfortunately, the Wowow was ultimately abandoned, as Sambe explains. Data transferring speed was not enough and many error correction packets eat up these precious data speed. User should wait more than several minutes to download one small game....

The fissures inFantastic Fours troubled production are, however, in evidence from beginning to end.
