Five episodes into “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” we’re now officially more than halfway through the deliberately-paced season and many viewers still find themselves struggling with the idea of what an adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien should “feel” like. Nobody can ever really define what such a subjective statement actually means, of […]
We’re living in a golden age of fantasy, with “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” and “House of the Dragon” showing us vastly different yet equally exciting worlds (and “Willow” following close behind). “The Rings of Power” especially is a real gift, a show that manages the impossible by turning J.R.R. Tolkien’s massive legendarium […]
It’s arguably never been a better time to be a fantasy fan, with big-name series like Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings, The Witcher, and more all in the limelight in some form or another.

For one thing, the casting seemed hard to […]
Christopher took on the role of the Doctor when the much-loved BBC sci-fi series was revamped and relaunched in 2005. He appeared alongside Doctor Who companion Rose Tyler (played by Billie Piper) for one year before deciding to quit. Christopher was replaced by David Tenant and the Doctor has regenerated many times with Jodie Whittaker […]
Sylvester McCoy, who featured in three series as the Time Lord said he was “always surprised by who they pick” to take on the lead role. “It has to be someone with lots of character. It can’t be someone bland and beautiful, rather handsome and characterful. “I was surprised when they got Matt Smith. He […]
Lord Sumption has railed against suggestions of even tougher restrictions in the country’s national lockdown. A new Good Morning Britain poll suggested that the UK wants stronger restrictions, with more than 50 percent of adults backing a curfew from 8pm each night.
