Skins Season 5 Episode 2 – Rich This was a really good episode of Skins, it had a bit of everything, humour, a good story, half hearted romance and great acting from the kids. Where do they keep finding the talent for this series? Skins Season 5, so far, seems to be a lot less [...]

Another great episode of Being Human was shown last Friday on ABC2. Episode 2 of series three, the cleverly titled Adam’s Family, saw a new teenage vampire Adam, show up. He was slovenly and horny and kept hitting on Annie and Nina. His father had just died in the hospital and George and Nina decided [...]

Being Human is back on Australian TV, it made a triumphant return to ABC2 last night. All our old friends were back Annie (Leonora Critchlow), Mitchell (Aidan Turner), George (Russell Tovey) and Nina (Sinead Keenan) and so was the dark humour, in abundance. Mitchell, George and Nina moved into a new home, an old Hotel [...]
