Dune: Review

June 4, 2022 Paul Ferry

Frank Herbert’s Dune has a turbulent history with the visual media. Published in 1965, the novel quickly acquired a cult following among counter-culture types due to its trippy prose and drug-taking analogies, but it was considered unfilmable. In 1970, fresh … Continue reading Dune: Review

The Book of Boba Fett: Review

February 13, 2022February 13, 2022 Paul Ferry

Warning: Contains Spoilers! Like most kids who were into Star Wars, I loved Boba Fett in the 1980s. Unlike most kids, it was the sparseness of his big screen appearances that attracted me to him. He’s such a cool character, … Continue reading The Book of Boba Fett: Review

High Moon: Outland Revisited

September 9, 2021 Paul Ferry

I’ve always been a big fan of Peter Hyams’ 1981 science fiction thriller Outland, though I’m aware that I’m in something of a minority. All I can imagine is that in the wake of Alien (1980) a lot of sci-fi … Continue reading High Moon: Outland Revisited

There’s Many a Slap Twixt the Cup and the Lap: Doctor Who Season 24 Blu-Ray Review

July 1, 2021July 1, 2021 Paul Ferry

It’s an odd feeling when something that you lived through becomes the stuff of legends. I see essays online, written with great authority by fans that weren’t even born at the time, extolling the virtues of the Season 24 as … Continue reading There’s Many a Slap Twixt the Cup and the Lap: Doctor Who Season 24 Blu-Ray Review

Sci-Fi Scarborough Online 2021

April 22, 2021 Paul Ferry

It was a terrible disappointment in 2020 when the annual Sci-Fi Scarborough convention was cancelled due to COVID-19, but we were far enough into lockdown for it to be not entirely unexpected. We hoped and dreamed that by Easter 2021, … Continue reading Sci-Fi Scarborough Online 2021

You Will Obey Me: Season 8 Blu-Ray Review

March 20, 2021March 20, 2021 Paul Ferry

As beloved as Season 7 of Doctor Who is, there’s no doubting it’s a bit of a mish-mash; unlike the modern series, where a showrunner might be allowed a generous amount of time to work out how they want to … Continue reading You Will Obey Me: Season 8 Blu-Ray Review

The Twilight Zone (2020) – Season 2 Review

October 25, 2020 Paul Ferry

Warning: contains spoilers. Anyone who read my review of the first season of this latest reboot of Rod Serling’s classic series will know that my opinions were… let’s say mixed. Although it was nowhere near as terrible as the 90s … Continue reading The Twilight Zone (2020) – Season 2 Review

Let’s Do the Timeslip Again!

August 18, 2020February 25, 2021 Paul Ferry

ITV made several attempts to emulate the success of the BBC’s Doctor Who during the 1970s and I was too young to enjoy most of them. I only remember watching Into the Labyrinth and the tail-end of The Tomorrow People; … Continue reading Let’s Do the Timeslip Again!

The Past is a Different Planet: Star Maidens Revisited

July 4, 2020February 25, 2021 Paul Ferry

The history of sci-fi on British television is littered with oddities, but few come odder than the 1975 ITV series Star Maidens.  Co-produced by a Scottish investment company and a German TV network, Star Maidens was filmed in Slough with … Continue reading The Past is a Different Planet: Star Maidens Revisited
