Coming to YouTube on November 21st, it’s Danger 5. Looks a bit like a cross between The Champions, Thunderbirds, The Prisoner, the Godzilla movies and some really tatty 60s spy movies. I’m not entirely sure why they’ve all been crossed with one another, other than it appears to be made by Australians, who would be in the overlap of any Venn diagram of audiences of all those things.
It’s got a cool web site, too: “Devil-kittens of Hitler’s lust dungeon” indeed.
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.
