I’ve heard good things about Vertigo comic Preacher, but I’ve never read it. I suspect, though, that the news it’s being made into a TV series isn’t going to please its fans immediately, given its adult nature and general incompatibility with mainstream tastes. However, back off, my friends: it’s being made by HBO, the home of Deadwood. You can breathe a little better now, can’t you?

I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
