Fazzinchi

After a short break for the summer, I am returning to the blogging world.  With a bit of luck there’ll be some decent programmes on TV worth writing about. There’ll be a DVD review of Dexter series one, and TV reviews of House of Saddam and the start of Spooks: Code 9 to come.  For now though, there are only two things on telly, the Olympics and Big Brother.  I’ll leave the Olympic coverage until after the medals have been counted Read the rest of this entry »

Blog Life is so much easier when you’re not trying to take screencaps with your cameraphone to upload on Flickr so that you can include pretty images in your posts.  Back when I decided to write about Journey’s End au naturelle, as it were, I promised I would go back and add in the pictures later. However, the experience has left me liberated.  Blogs afterall, are about words not pictures, so I have decided that here at Fazzinchi Towers we’re Read the rest of this entry »

Okay, so this is nothing to do with television at all but it’s my blog and I’ll do what I like with it (and if you get to the end you may just learn something).

There are a number of things that I should’ve written about already but haven’t…

1. Discuss the awfulness that is Bonekickers
2. Advocate the merits or otherwise of latest Big Brother shenanigans
3. Give you a mid-year report on the final series of Battlestar Galactica
4. Marvel at the continued wonder of Gregory House and explain why Hugh Laurie should be the Eleventh Doctor
5. Write a book review (oh yes) of The End of Mr Y
6. An update on our sporting summer

Perhaps they will appear here shortly.

So, what have you been watching?

“What are your favourite three episodes of nu-Who and why?”

In no particular order, the list has to include… Dalek. A clever re-introduction of a classic enemy: chained, seemingly helpless and alone. It included Time War revelations (when they were still a bit of a thrill), some Read the rest of this entry »

[Even though it's a couple of days late, here's my Doctor Who review for Journey's End.  I'll add the pictures to the review later on (which won't matter for those RSS readers among you) but which brightens up my blog no end.  Please feel free to add your comments and thoughts?]

Hello dear reader(s). Well, how was it for you?  9.4 million people tuned in to Saturday night’s Doctor Who finale to be treated to sixty-five minutes of wonderful, sci-fi nonsense.  The abundance of newspaper articles across the whole gamut of broadsheets as well as the more typical tabloid fodder, plus guest appearances on TV shows and even features on the Six O’Clock news itself led to a kind of Who-Shot-JR Read the rest of this entry »
