The talented Hughes brothers have won the coveted chance to direct the movie version of Kung Fu. I’m actually starting to look forward to it now, since Warner Brothers have put some actual talent to work and they’re intent on preserving the “zen spirit” of the show. The Hughes brothers have also approached the Shaolin Temple outside Beijing – to do what, I don’t know, but that shows a certain sensitivity to the subject matter that I wasn’t expecting.

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.
