Movie recommendation: Cockneys Vs Zombies....31st August

I recently had the pleasure of popping down to That London to attend a movie press screening for Starburst Magazine; the film's 'Cockneys Vs Zombies' and it's co-written by James Moran who's penned episodes of 'Spooks', 'Torchwood', 'Primeval' and 'Doctor Who' over the last efw eyars as well as the 2005 horror 'Severance'. 'No, not more zombies' - I can almost hear your wail of despair. But wait, this is different, this is good, this has got a different take on what's now become a threadbare horror genre. Fast, funny, furious and full of f******g swearing, it's a hoot and half and hits cinemas in the UK on 31st August. It comes highly recommended so Go See It! Here be the trailer: be warned - bad words are used.

Torchwood's back!! Read all about it...

After the lukewarm response to last year's fourth 'Torchwood' series, 'Miracle Day', you'd be forgiven for thinking that we might have seen the last - for now, at least - of the indestructible Captain Jack Harkness, Gwen Cooper and co. Apparently not though - the franchise lives on in book form and this new novel, written by Jack-tor John Barrowman and his sister Carole (they previously collaborated on a well-received children's book, 'Hollow Earth', itself in the frame for a TV series next year) is on its way. It certainly evokes the 'global conspiracy' style of the last two series of the TV show... It starts with a series of unexplained events. Earth tremors across the globe. People being driven insane by their heightened and scrambled senses. And the world is starting to notice – the number one Twitter trend is #TheLoco. Governments and scientists are bewildered and silent. The world needs Torchwood, but there’s not much of Torchwood left. Captain Jack has tracked the problem to its source: a village in Peru, where he’s uncovered evidence of alien involvement. Back in Cardiff, Gwen Cooper has discovered something lurking inside the Torchwood software – something alien and somehow connected to Jack. If the world is to be restored, she has to warn him – but she’s quickly becoming a victim of the madness, too! Torchwood: Exodus Code is released in hardback in the UK next month.

The Daleks...like you've never heard them before!

Now this borders on genius. Or madness. Or both. Some enterprising Doctor Who fan - or someone with far too much time on their hands (which may be the same thing) decided it might be interesting to remove Roy Skelton's familiar Dalek voices from the 1979 Doctor Who serial 'Destiny of the Daleks' and replace them with the same actor's voices - Bungle and Zippy and co - from the 1970s lunchtime kid's series Rainbow. This was the result...

Look, Who's back....soon....

You've seen it a dozen times or more by now, of course you have, but this is the sort of thing that always bears reblogging. The Doctor's back in his first run of new adventures since last year's forgettable Christmas special. Matt Smith is the Doctor in his third series of Doctor Who, expected to commence on BBC1 on August 25th for an initial five-week run...
