This War of the Worlds review contains spoilers.
So that was the deal with the babies. Their box-fresh stem cells were needed to grow replacements for the Invaders’ failed organs and cure the genetic weakness wiping out their species. Or more properly, our species. The alien Emily met in the closing moments of season one wasn’t just humanoid, it was human. And it wasn’t alone.
That’s one mystery cleared up, and a secondary one about how a bunch of genetically weakened humans psychically connected via a quantum web ended up invading Earth in massive spaceships is for season two to solve. The Invaders’ new ‘Kill Bill’ mission has such a strong 12 Monkeys whiff to it that time travel has to be a factor. Perhaps the bullseye tattoo crowd have gone back in time to stop Gabriel Byrne’s character from releasing the biological weapon that will eventually turn us into them?...

Warning: contains War of the Worlds finale spoilers.
As delved into in our explainer, the War of the Worlds finale left viewers on a cliff-hanger that raised several questions. Big, story-bending, ‘but then does that mean…?’ consequential questions.
In episode eight, Emily (Daisy Edgar-Jones), the young Englishwoman whose eyesight had been lost to a genetic condition, had her vision restored thanks to her mysterious connection to the alien invaders. To discover more about that connection, Emily allowed the aliens to lead her into the heart of their ship where she discovered a creature plugged in to a series of ventilator tubes.
Den of Geek asked finale director Richard Clark (read the full interview here) what it was all about.
What has Emily had discovered inside the ship?
What Emily hasn’t discovered is an alien in the form that we might have imagined. The creature, the alien, definitely has humanoid...

“We can argue until the cows come home about whether calling it War of the Worlds was wise or not,” says director Richard Clark. The Anglo-French sci-fi written by Misfits creator Howard Overman recently finished airing on Fox UK, where it earned the channel some of its biggest original drama ratings. The lack of resemblance to its H.G Wells namesake, though, didn’t go unnoticed.
Set in the present day across locations in London and France, War of the Worlds is an alien invasion story, but that’s where the similarities to Wells’ novel end. Overman created a new cast of characters, new weapons, new aliens with a new modus operandi and a new overreaching storyline with multiple series in its sights.
“You do risk upsetting people. ‘Where are the Tripods, where are the lasers?’ etc.” says Clark. But it’s better to be bold, he argues, than to try to please everybody.

20 year old newcomer Sally Messham, a final year student at Rada, has been cast as Jane Watkins, the daughter of exorcist Merrily, in ITV Encore’s new three-part drama Midwinter of the Spirit.
Sally (represented by Curtis Brown), will leave Rada early to take up the role alongside the double BAFTA award-winning actress Anna Maxwell-Martin who leads the cast as Merrily Watkins, a single mother who isn’t your average country vicar.
Merrily’s newly acquired training has put her on the dark side of the pulpit. She’s become one of the few women priests working as an exorcist - a job increasingly mistrusted by the modern Church and rarely talked about, even though it operates in virtually every diocese in the UK.
Merrily is deeply human in her doubts and scepticism, but her knowledge of the paranormal underworld brings her to the notice of local police who need...

Outlander, Season 1, Episode 10, “By the Pricking of My Thumbs”
Written by Ira Steven Behr
Directed by Richard Clark
Airs Saturdays at 9pm Et on Starz
Playing with perspective is a common trope in TV. Lost, and countless imitators, used this as its primary storytelling device, telling its story from a different character’s point of view in every episode. This can be an incredibly rewarding way of unravelling episodic stories, allowing individuals to briefly take precedence, giving them greater significance and nuance, and letting the overarching plot move forward incrementally. This approach is not suitable for all shows, however, which Outlander learned all too well last week when it returned from a six-month hiatus.
The audience was thrown into the Pov of Jamie, who is a great character, but is made much more so when he’s seen through Claire’s eyes. It was an interesting choice to have this...

The Gutters (Indefinite hiatus; 2010-2014)
Written by Ryan Sohmer
Art by various
Colored by Ed Ryzowski
First and foremost, The Gutters was a twice weekly webcomic that made fun of various aspects of the comics industry. It took the comics news of that week and spinned into something hilarious and self-contained with a rotating cast of artists, including ones you might know like Annie Wu (Hawkeye), Darick Robertson (Transmetropolitan), Joe Eisma (Morning Glories), Nick Bradshaw (Wolverine and the X-Men), and even comics legend Neal Adams, who pencilled a heartfelt tribute to the late Joe Kubert in 2012. The humor of The Gutters is highly topical. However, in the tradition of the best Mad Magazine strips or SNL sketches, it can act as a nice time capsule to 2010 when people were arguing whether Steve Rogers or Bucky Barnes (or Clint Barton) should be Captain America, or 2012 when the circle of snark around...

By Juan Sanmiguel "Doctor Who" continued its domination of the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation-Short Form by taking home an award for "The Doctor's Wife," which was written by Neil Gaiman and directed by Richard Clark. But the British series was not alone. The entire first season of HBO's "Game of Thrones" took home the Best Dramatic Presentation-Long Form prize as Hugo Awards were presented at the 70th World Science Fiction Convention, Chicon 7, held in Chicago. The win was Gaiman's fifth Hugo and his second in the "Dramatic Presentation" categories. The movie "Stardust," based on his graphic novel, won in 2008. In his acceptance speech, Gaiman thanked Clark, the production team, the cast, Russell T. Davies, Steven Moffat, Verity Lambert (the first producer of the ...

The Doctor Who Series 6 episode The Doctor’s Wife, written by the fantasy and comic-book author Neil Gaiman, has been nominated for the 2011 Ray Bradbury Award for an Outstanding Dramatic Presentation, which has been given in place of the Nebula Award for Best Script since 2009. The awards are presented by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America and winners will be announced on May 17th, 2012. Voting is open to all active members of the Sfwa and is open throughout the month of March.
This is not the first recognition The Doctor’s Wife has received. Earlier this year, Gaiman accepted the SFX award for Best Screenplay.

Fancy a few Monday night scares? You're in luck! Whitechapel's back for a new six-part series (three two-part stories), so it's the perfect chance to do some hiding behind the sofa. Instead of focusing on copycat killers, this series sees Chandler, Miles and Buchan trying to solve crimes by using historical misdeeds to give them some clues. After watching the creepy first episode, Rupert Penry-Jones, Phil Davis and Steve Pemberton (along with executive producer Sally Woodward Gentle and director Richard Clark) came to chat to reporters about what we can expect from the show, what made Rupert feel sick during filming, and whether they're up for more series... Do you think this series has upped the fear factor?

I'll tell you what scares the living daylights out of me at the mo – the prospect of portly bank bloke Mervyn King sauntering onto my TV screen. One – because he looks like a hybrid of Peter Ustinov and a slightly demented mole. Two – every time he opens his mouth, a great big tsunami of doom and gloom spews forth, threatening to destroy the will of every living being in its path. Christ, at the moment it seems that all this economic government-inflicted doom and gloom is being fuelled by this wandering Armageddon pedlar prattling on in his pompous fashion about how we'll all be forced to walk around in sacks and live in homes made out of string and paper clips.
Night Terrors, by and large, gets things back on track this season, which is a sigh of relief after the self-indulgent gibberish of A A Good Man Goes To War/Let's Kill Hitler.

You would have thought that a Doctor Who reviewer would have seen it all by now. The return of the apparently dead Time Lords. A walking, talking laughing stock of a Dalek. Not to mention the rather joyous fact that a companion from the 1970s can land her very own show and win over a whole new generation of kids.
Linking in with Sarah-Jane for another moment, another potential problem for me was the fact that Suranne Jones was chosen to play the pivotal role of Idris. Now while I could probably count the amount of times I've seen Corrie in the last 10 years on one hand, I did see that odd Sarah-Jane Adventures episode in which Jones played The Mona Lisa in the manner of a one-woman hen party auditioning for the latest Boddingtons advert.

After the dramatic plot twists of showrunner Steven Moffat’s ‘Let’s Kill Hitler’ last week, Doctor Who returns to a more standalone story with Sherlock co-creator and co-showrunner Mark Gatiss’ ‘Night Terrors’, which nonetheless proves engaging enough to make one forget about the yet-to-be resolved cliffhangers from last week (fittingly enough, concerning the Silence, among other things).
George, a boy who’s afraid of everything, calls out “Please save me from the monsters!” Psychically amplified, this message travels all the way to the Tardis in an impressive interstellar tracking shot, finally reaching the Doctor’s psychic paper, alerting him that it’s time for “a house call.”
After the Doctor, Amy, and Rory have knocked on several doors of the council housing block, trying clumsily (and amusingly) to ascertain which house the message came from, the Doctor finally knocks on the correct door, upon which the boy’s father...

Doctor Who Review, Series 6, Episode 9: “Night Terrors”
Written by Mark Gatiss

This week, on Doctor Who: The Tardis crew answer a little boy’s terrified plea to save him from the monsters.
After last week’s continuity-filled “Let’s Kill Hitler”, this entirely stand-alone episode is a breath of fresh air. It’s not the best such outing in the show’s run, but it’s spooky and fun and sometimes that’s enough. “Night Terrors” followed the common Doctor Who structure of step 1: The Tardis team checks out a mystery. Step 2: The Doctor knows the answer but can’t remember it. Step 3: Hijinks ensue until the end of the episode, when the Doctor remembers and everything is put right. (If memory serves, step 5 is profit.) This formula has become rather predictable, but...

Ah, transport of delight. You can't beat a bit of British transport. Whether the slow-moving train breaks down or is held up because of a stray crisp packet on the line or whether the plane's been delayed because the pilot's too busy having a crafty fag, it seems that time waits for every man and woman who are just trying to get from A to B.
And then there are the roads. The average road always seems to be one long line of cars, lorries, buses, taxis and juggernauts, a depressing vista of never-ending metal and rubber. Still, while you're at the wheel, at least you can ponder on some of life's big questions. Why does it always rain at weekends after sunny weekdays? Is it really possible to touch your elbow with your tongue? Could The Only Way Is Essex be the most depressing thing shown in the history of television?...

After last week’s massive misstep, “The Curse of The Black Spot”, hopes were high that “The Doctor’s Wife” would bring Doctor Who back to its intended awesome goodness. I’m happy to report that the episode exceeded all expectations. As a matter of fact, it is worthy to be called a classic.
Written by author Neil Gaiman (American Gods, Coraline), and beautifully directed by Richard Clark (The UK version of Life on Mars), “The Doctor’s Wife” begins with The Doctor (Matt Smith), Amy (Karen Gillan), and Rory (Arthur Darvill) receiving an old distress call from a Time Lord. Knowing that all of his people have ceased to exist, the last of the Time Lords is, of course, naturally intrigued by the message.
