When I was about 11, the film The Neverending Story came out and I absolutely, absolutely loved it. It’s German, so it’s a bit weird in places as kids films made there tend to be usually, but it totally caught by imagination. And I also had a severe crush on The Childlike Empress. I think [...]

So on Saturday night, I was at the Irish Film & Television Awards in Dublin – that’s me, the crew and presenters in the picture above. Unfortunately I didn’t win an award (that’s a fake one in my hands), we were there putting together a show for BBC Northern Ireland.
It was quite a fun night really, [...]

Working. That’s the short answer! Tomorrow I’m heading down to Dublin for the Sixth annual Irish and Film Television Awards. It’s being broadcast live on RTE, but I have to turn round a one hour version with red carpet interviews and backstage award winner interviews for broadcast on BBC Two at 7pm on Monday.
It’ll be [...]

BOGOF is Back at Saf..
Watch the ad…
If I see this ad one more time on television I think will go completely insane.
1. Who on earth is he
2. Would you buy double glazing from him
Words cannot express how much I hate this.

I went to see a 3D film last night! I was pretty psyched because I have not seen a 3D film since I was probably about 10 or something, and it was a horror film to boot as well – My Bloody Valentine 3D.
Even though the prices at the Odeon seemed like a complete rip-off [...]

I used to work on a show called Dick & Dom in da Bungalow – a Saturday morning kids’ TV show on BBC One which I totally LOVED working on. It was daft, original, funny, bonkers and a bit mad as well.
The good news is that if you’ve been missing da Bungalow since it ended [...]

I’ve been to the cinema a couple of times recently – firstly I went to see Twilight – a teen movie all about Vampires. I haven’t read any of the books so wasn’t sure what to expect, but I thought it was a brilliant film. I saw it in London, and even though the cinema [...]

This is the worst news to receive the day before your birthday. I can’t believe Prison Break has been cancelled, and that there could be only four episodes left to air.
It sucks big time. If I could afford to fly over and picket Fox’s headquarters I would.

So, very excited, I went to see Quantum of Solace on Sunday night – it’s the new James Bond film if you have been living under a rock.
It starts very, very quickly. The editing is so fast during the first couple of minutes of the film, it’s pretty near impossible to work out what was [...]

Post updated at the end!
I have Tivo – if you’re not familiar with it, it was an early version of a Sky+ box which launched in the UK about five or six years ago. The main difference between Tivo and a Sky+ box is that Tivo learns over time what kind of programmes you like [...]
