WANTED DREDD OR ALIVE
Cadet Amy Steel hoped for a routine assessment, when she learnt she was to be assessed by one Judge Joe Dredd the rookie knew that it wasn’t going to be routine. This is the first of Big Finish’s 2000AD audios and they have chosen the most recognisable character to head their series of audio ‘Progs’. …
THE BIG SHOT
This is actually what I have been waiting for in the Dredd audio series, the start of a story arc. However I don’t know if this is going to start a true arc or just be two independent but linked stories. All will be revealed when I listen to Get Karter (sic). Quentin Quail is …
DOCTOR WHO: THE HORROR OF FANG ROCK
After the oddly uneven patchwork release ‘Lost In Time’ back in November, it’s a welcome return to ‘proper’ DOCTOR WHO on DVD with the timely arrival of ‘The Horror of Fang Rock’, an example of the series at close to its best – telling taut, simple stories packed with dread and menace. This’ll do nicely …
SUPERMAN SUPERMAN 2
In the words of Mr Samwise Gamgee ‘there’s an eye opener and no mistake.’ To think, I had never watched either of these movies properly, never paid Superman any respect until the tragic loss of Christopher Reeve when I decided to give these movies a try.

DOCTOR WHO LOST IN TIME
I? not sure I really altogether approve of the idea of LOST IN TIME, a handy three-disc boxset of assorted DOCTOR WHO odds??ods scrubbed up and presented as a nice 41st anniversary gift for the series?hardened fans. It? not that there? anything intrinsically wrong with the episodes on display – eighteen black-and-white instalments from stories …
THE STAR WARS TRILOGY
Reviewing something like the STAR WARS TRILOGY is something best avoided if possible- I mean, what CAN be said about these films? Globally recognised as works of total genius, A NEW HOPE (I? calling it that from now on, it fits in with the prequels as a ?ix film saga? THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and …
DAWN OF THE DEAD
ROSWELL – SEASON THREE
I approached this third season boxset of ROSWELL with some trepidation. With the second season revamp – away from soft-focus lovey-dovey teen angst and deep into the realms of fast-paced high-concept sci-fi – having done little to improve US ratings, season three, on its new home at the UPN Network, promised a return to the …
BUGS SERIES FOUR
So it? the last role of the dice for Ros, Ed, Becket and their chums at Bureau 2 as the last batch of episodes from BUGS, the BBC? moderately-successful 1990s hi-tech action show arrives on a 3-disc DVD boxset. Previously, you may recall, the show escaped the icy fingers of cancellation by cleverly ending its …
