Normally when a book is adapted for TV I have already read the book and had my own ideas about how it should be screened. In this case, despite having nearly read this book by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett some years ago I never really got a grip on the novel. I have read... Continue Reading →

I know that I am late to the party, on many films I can be, but I have only just got round to seeing the first new Spiderman film. I was obviously aware of Tom Holland taking up the mantle and donning the red spandex, I had seen him in Captain America: Civil War and... Continue Reading →
