Matthew Graham returns to writing Doctor Who this weekend, with The Rebel Flesh kicking off a new two-parter. Since then, hes rightly won rich acclaim for co-creating and co-writing the immenseLife On MarsandAshes To Ashes. And he spared us some time to chat about it… Lets start with the obvious one, then. How did it come about that youve written a two-parter forDoctor Whoseries 6? Well, I was hoping to do the last series, the first Matt Smith series....

A true classic of genre television, The Twilight Zone arrives on DVD. Heres Phils review of the first series from 1959… Even if youve never seen an episode ofThe Twilight Zone, it may feel as though you have. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call The Twilight Zone. Sometimes theyre comedies, sometimes theyre dramas....

Theyre stunned when they find themselves rescuing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from their foes headquarters. Unfortunately for all concerned, Utrom Shredder is quite, quite mad. Its a great idea. The Hero Turtles are given a fair ribbing here. All of their quirks and annoying tendencies are turned up to eleven. Lame gags and an obsession with pizza seem to be all there is to them. Thankfully, its all done lovingly and in good fun....

And hes been doing so ever since. The cartoons were all in colour and there were seventeen released altogether. And although the phrase was often changed quite a lot, this is the most familiar. The show itself included Superman fighting all sorts of weird creatures. These included robots, dinosaurs and creatures from outer space. We have agallery of all seventeen episodes here, so you’re free to enjoy them anytime. The modern daySupermancartoons came thick and fast....

Still, in games like this, story isnt really important, so its no biggie. Players join the fray as one of four different classes, each with different abilities. As well as combat abilities, each class also has specific objective-based skills. As well as the classes, you’re able to choose from three body types. The options are normal, heavy and light. Simply hold LB and youll automatically scale the environment as you run....

I take in my bedroom, placing my location and calming myself enough to correct my breathing. Ill look over to the other side of the bed. Somehow, my girlfriend always manages to sleep through it. I slide back down and settle, as gently as I can be, trying not to wake her. My mind still feels cluttered and manic, not yet slowed down from the sudden influx of sensations. Its happened often enough now that I know Ill not be able to get back to sleep....

Are the shows true to the comics? How good is each Superman actor on screen? Are they fun to watch? Read on to find out… Most of theSupermanepisodes ended on cliffhangers, with there being only fifteen episodes overall. They did, however, release the spin-off series,Atom Man Vs Superman,in 1950. Each episode consisted of villains and different tasks for Superman to face. He had a very wholesome look about him, and the way he portrayed Clark and Superman was magnificent....

From Space Invaders to World Of Warcraft, we salute the most commonly copied videogames in history… By 1980, many players were beginning to suffer from shooter fatigue. A few examples include Bally MidwaysMs. Ironically, even the most uninspiredPac-Manclones were infinitely superior to the infamously half-arsed official conversion for the Atari 2600. Tetris Alexey Pajitnovs hideously addictive organisation game is quite possibly the most ported and cloned game of all time....

Ad content continues below Water For Elephantsis a real departure for you, surely? It is, in a way. Im a movie guy. But I love to build worlds. And also, in terms of the kind of story, its a love story.I Am Legendwas not. This, I also think, is a movie that works that way. I like that mix of emotions in a story. I suppose the thing the film has in common with your earlier films is its technical challenges....

Not that that stopped McCoy in his tracks. And, starting with that, he spared us some time for a chat… Lets start withThe Minister Of Chance. Its a lovely project, and I love the ethos behind it. An audio drama thats very fan-funded, and very close to the fans. Was that a major part of the appeal for you? I thought it was a wonderful adventure, breaking new ground. Its getting rid of lots of middle men, and it gets you closer to the fans....

Some people seem to be complaining about the long game that Steven Moffat is playing with Doctor Who storylines. Has anybody noticed that Amy Ponds house has three storeys? And yet, whenever weve seen it from the outside, its only had two storeys? Why had Amy and Rory parted ways with the Doctor at the beginning of the two-parter? Who killed the Doctor by the lake? Is Amy pregnant or not?...

A Star Wars-themed Mortal Kombat? Expanded Universe Lego Star Wars? Many of the numerousStar Warsgames, of course, havent been perfect. So recently, I did some thinking, and came up with eightStar Warsgames Id like to see. It was an unbelievably shocking cock-up), its still a real disappointment. But make it a little bit bigger than its predecessors. Lets be honest, who doesnt want see HK-47 killing and quipping his way through the galaxy?...

Of course, Hong Kong action cinema was no different. Sammo included kung fu action, comedy and traditional ghost stories to produce something of brilliance. Are there reasons for this decline from such great pictures? And can the twenty-first century give rise to more hopping vampires? Needless to say, neither was a hit. This film, literally translated as Mr. The film was directed by Ricky Lau, but produced by Sammo Hungs Bo Ho Film Company....
