Here we are again! We’ve returned to the world of ‘Downton Abbey’ in the third and final instalment of the supposed film trilogy ‘Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale’. It’s been a while since I shared reviews on ‘Downton Abbey’ in 2022. It’s nice to come back to the series in this film. Continue reading

On Thursday the 11th of September 2025, my parents and I saw a stage production of ‘Emma’ by Jane Austen at the Theatre Royal in Bath. We were on holiday at the time, and it was purely by chance that we came across this theatre production of ‘Emma’ in Bath. 🙂 Continue reading

So, on the 8th of September this year, I saw ‘Back to the Future – The Musical’ for a second time at the Adelphi Theatre in London. I greatly enjoyed seeing it a second time, and it was fascinating to see Brian Conley taking on the role of Doc Brown this time round. Continue reading

I’ve checked out and reviewed the 1997 abridged audiobook of the Target novelization of the ‘Doctor Who’ story ‘Vengeance on Varos’ by Philip Martin, read by Colin Baker, who plays the Sixth Doctor in the TV series and the Big Finish audios. The audiobook is included in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume Two’ collection via Audible. The story features the Sixth Doctor and Peri as well as the greedy Sil. Continue reading

This past week in the UK, we had Bank Holiday Monday in August 2025. This is what I did on Bank Holiday Monday. I cooked a lasagne for me and my parents for lunch. Later on, we saw the 1986 comedy film ‘Clockwise’, starring John Cleese, via Amazon Prime Video. Continue reading

‘Vanilla Sky’. Hmm. This is a fascinating and unusual film to check out. I can’t say it’s been a satisfying experience, but the film certainly has a very interesting premise to it. You’d probably need to see the movie about more than once in order to get your head around it. Continue reading

It’s time for us to delve into the Target novelization/audiobook of the ‘Doctor Who’ story ‘Vengeance on Varos’ by Philip Martin, based on the original TV scripts. The Target novelization was published in June 1988, three years after the TV story was transmitted in January 1985. The story features the Sixth Doctor and Peri where they visit Varos and encounter the slimy Sil. I’ve greatly enjoyed checking out the Target novelization, along with the 2019 unabridged audiobook read by Martin Jarvis, who played the Governor in the TV story. Over the years, I’ve considered ‘Vengeance on Varos’ a decent ‘Doctor Who’ story featuring themes of how violence can used as entertainment for TV audiences. Continue reading

Today, it’s Bank Holiday Monday in August 2025 in the UK (England, Wales and Northern Ireland to be precise). And it’s time to check out another exciting episode in Season 1 of ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’. Today, we’re checking out ‘Call of the Wild’, an episode that I saw on ‘The Beginning’ Volume 3 VHS release, not on GMTV. 😀 This episode has the Maximals, including Optimus Primal, Cheetor, Rhinox, Dinobot and Rattrap struggling to overcome their beast personas when they’re forced to stay in beast mode after the Predacons attacked their base and stole their rectifier coil, which is meant to shield our heroes from Energon inside the Maximals’ base. Once the Maximals have succumbed to their animal personas, Megatron leads a hunt. Tigatron and Airazor must do all they can to help their Maximal comrades. I’m very pleased I saw this episode on ‘The Beginning’ Volume 3 VHS as well as in the ‘Beast Wars’ 15th anniversary DVD box set, which I purchased for Christmas in December 2011. Continue reading

Last weekend, I saw the 2003 film ‘The Last Samurai’ starring Tom Cruise, which my Dad purchased on DVD recently. I heard many good things said about this film. So, I decided to satisfy my curiosity with seeing it myself. I really enjoyed checking out the film on DVD. Continue reading
