May The Force Be With You…..Always!
A couple of months ago I wrote a blog piece on how we are currently enjoying The Second Golden Age of Trek. I want to expand on that a bit more. As we all know, Star Trek officially began in 1966, with the animated series airing in the early 70's. From 1979 onwards we had... Continue Reading →
The newest Trek series, Star Trek Lower Decks, an animated sci-fi/comedy show set on board the USS Cerritos with a focus on low ranking crew members is set to air in the US from August 6th. No international date has been set yet and with less than a month to go international fans are wondering... Continue Reading →
With all this downtime my mental health has been getting worse. It was very bad pre-pandemic! I've tried lots of different things but one thing that does help is re-watching some of my favourite shows. I've found some almost impossible to watch at the moment. I don't know why but those that I have watched.... Continue Reading →
With so much going on in my head lately I've been using this time to really focus on things I love as a way of helping me. It was VERY hard at the beginning but over time it does help. I still struggle a lot but this is one thing that can help. Its also... Continue Reading →
Lockdown 2020: Like many people I've spent a bit of time binge watching TV shows. Unlike some, I'm watching shows from the past that I enjoy. Much of modern TV doesn't appeal to me. I've just finished a complete re-watch of Space: Above and Beyond created by Glen Morgan and James Wong (both of X-Files... Continue Reading →

Star Trek first aired in the UK in the very late 60s and was used to fill gaps between series of Doctor Who. Trek was never... Continue Reading →
Firstly let me state that yes, I'm a man and I know this film wasn't really aimed at me. I totally understand why this film needed to be made, not that it needs validation from me as a man but that's the point- it's been a male-dominated world for too long and a change is... Continue Reading →
Next Friday, 29th November sees the release of a new Charlie's Angels movie. I'm hoping to be able to get out to see it if my head allows me. I'm looking forward to this film- I've been a fan of the show since the 1970s. In fact I still have my Charlie's Angels toy van... Continue Reading →
Saturday 23rd November 1963- a little programme about a time travelling old man and his granddaughter first appeared on British TV. At the time, the execs at the BBC thought that it would flop due to the fact that President John F Kennedy had been assassinated the previous day by Dr Sam Beckett Gary Oldman... Continue Reading →
