The final Hannibal floral crown wearer arrives

20 September 2013 Rob Buckley 1 Comment

There was one last person on the Hannibal set who hadn’t worn the floral crown (don’t ask) but now, finally, he’s decided to wear it, too. Yes, Hugh Dancy – aka Will Graham himself – has joined in with the celebrations. How apt.

Neverwhere ad probably focuses on the wrong person

19 September 2013 Rob Buckley Post a comment

Much as I like Natalie Dormer in both Elementary and Game of Thrones, and good as it is to highlight one of the female characters in this line-up, I can’t help but feel that some of the others in this ad for the radio version of Neil Gaman’s Neverwhere are a tad more famous – perhaps even the guy on the extreme left. What do you think?

Pinky's Mom I watched this show first run back in the 80s. Surprisingly arch and intelligent, it held me with its graphic-novel style storytelling. Little on TV appealed to me back then, and that fact hasn't...
