I’d like to pay tribute to three people that we sadly lost this year – Christopher Hamilton Bidmead, Nabil Shaban and Prunella Scale. I never got to meet these three in real life, sadly, but I have enjoyed their contributions to certain TV shows I’ve watched many times. Continue reading

To honour the memory of Peter David, who sadly passed away in May 2025, I’ve read and reviewed the movie novelization of the first ‘Iron Man’ movie in the ‘Marvel Cinematic Universe’. It’s been great to check out this movie novelization and find out how the ‘MCU’ begins in prose form via Peter David’s superb style of writing. Continue reading

I’m very saddened by the news that Val Kilmer has passed away. Val Kilmer played Bruce Wayne/Batman in the 1995 film ‘Batman Forever’. I greatly enjoyed him in that film. It’s a pity that he didn’t get to play Batman beyond one movie, as I like his take on the character. Continue reading

I’m saddened that William Russell, who played Ian Chesterton – the first male companion in ‘Doctor Who’ in 1963 – has passed away. A couple of days ago, my parents and I were chatting about him, as we hoped he would live on to be 100 this year. Sadly, that wasn’t to be, but I’m happy that he lived a good life. Continue reading

I’m saddened by the news that two actors, who I’ve enjoyed watching in two of my favourite TV shows, have passed away recently – Ian Lavender and Michael Jayston. Ian Lavender played Private Pike in ‘Dad’s Army’ and Michael Jayston played the Valeyard in ‘Doctor Who’. It’s sad to think they’re no longer with us. Continue reading
