To mark Star Wars’ 30th anniversary (and no doubt sell a good few copies and make lots of money – cynic? Moi?), Empire magazine have run their July issue with a whopping choice of 30 covers. Thirty! Featuring most characters from Wicket to Mace Windu (see what I did there?), Star Wars fans can choose [...]

Yes it’s the BB post you’ve all been waiting for, Badger Madge’s round up of last night’s desperate wanna-be-a-has-beens and shrieking dolly birds in this year’s BB8.
First, the house.Not sure I understand why all the weirdness: a bath in the living room (possibly to provoke titillation and sexual encounters), the kitchen sink in the [...]

Sorry for not posting anything for a while. I’ve been rather busy what with a full-time job an’ all and also had a rather mad weekend, roaming around the country in the rain.
I’ve just realised that BMTV has been going for just over a year now (first post was 17th May last year) and so [...]

When I was about two or three, my mum decided to go back to college to do a B.Ed (my five-year-old brother and I thought it was hilarious that mummy was going to school to study duvets and pillows). My father was a high-flying surgeon at the time and so we rarely saw him [...]

Do I really need to do a spoiler warning here? I suppose not because this is just a theory and not actual spoiler right? Well, look, if you’re going to be finicky about it then fine. Jeez. Lighten up would ya?
*SPOILER WARNING*

If you can be arsed to read all the way to the end [...]

If Sir Alan (The Apprentice, Wednesdays BBC1 9pm) is “looking for an all-rounder” as his aid Margaret put it last night, then may I point his attention to chubby-jowled, 80s throw-back Katie, who thinks she can pull of Diana-esque demure while also wishing her rivals painful (if not ironic) deaths. You have to admire [...]

I can’t be the only one who watched Virgin School (Ch4, 10pm) last night and thought it was incredibly creepy. Fair play to James for admitting he’d not lost his cherry at the grand old age of 26 – and you know, there’s nothing wrong with that, especially because he’d been bullied at school [...]

Due to er… unforeseen circumstances (otherwise known as too many glasses of vino with the Lady Rachel) I came home later than expected last night and therefore had to watch Enders on video (well, I say video, it was actually DVD but you know what I mean). This meant that I only managed to catch [...]

Sometimes (for me at least) working on a music tech magazine can be pretty dull. Because I’m not that technical, I can’t get excited about the latest Logic Pro update or a new delivery of a Roland SH-101 synth into the office.
But what I can get jumping-up-and-down, squealing-like-a-gerbil, open-mouthed, happy-as-Larry excited over this…
Call me a [...]

A strange (somewhat depressing) telly menu last night.
For starters there was the amazingly-named Gok Wan’s How To Look Good Naked, which failed to deliver its promise. OK, the lady involved did have more confidence and managed to strut down a catwalk in front of 1,000 in no more than her underwear, but she still had [...]
