Rob Buckley

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.

JustStark Any movie made by Eon Productions with "Ian Fleming's James Bond" in it is a James Bond film. HTH. Is it? Is it though? More seriously, I think James Bond can definitely do technical things and go...

TMINE Nah. UK TV just doesn't even register with me any more. Even if a series looks promising, if I discover it's a UK TV series I give it a wide berth. Too much time wasted on shows that I hated. It might...
