It is the forgotten stories that matter, the ones that were never captured on screen but ones that a modern writer can bring to the fan and the join is invisible and superb. It is in that Doctor Who: The Black Hole really makes a valuable impression on the listener.

I should be brave enough to pick up the phone
and just say I forgive you,
but how would I feel
if someone then
did the same to me,
if they decided to make the call
and separate years of a grudge, yards
of supposed pain,
how would I respond than other with a thank you.
Late at night,
I agonise on how you would respond
when I tell you that the one word
you used down the phone
to me beat me to a pulp,

The year never ends with a whimper, it only ever finishes with a crash, a moment of lengthy feedback and the surge of electricity flowing through the veins. It is the swell of vision from an artist’s mind that creates an excitement for the following year, not the spectacle of a thousand fireworks screaming towards the dead black sky and the rivets, the joists, the framework of that can only truly come from someone in the Metal Family and who better than Dean Wallace.

Christmas comes but once a year…it’s a good job really because a nation, as a society we seem to have lost more than sight of what the time of year means, we have arguably lost all sense of proportion as well.

Cast: Paul McGann, Nicola Walker, Hattie Morahan, Mark Bonnar, Matthew Cottle, Ewan Bailey.
And did those feet in ancient times…take on all the evil and trickery thrown at humanity and try to save the people of Earth or did they run? The Doctor never runs unless he has to, unless there is a specific reason and as he enters the end game against the terrifying Timelord known as The Eleven, the thought of running would not have been held against him or his two companions Liv Chenka and Helen Sinclair; for in the darkness of The Satanic Mill no light truly shines in hope.
It is always forgotten in passing
that whilst December may hold the
shortest day it is also covets the longest night
in which to savour darkness
at its most beautiful,
to see the moon ride high
and the whispering clouds
race across the craggy, acne spilled face of the
sceptical celestial body.
To love seeing the moon
where the bright haze of summer should reside
at two in the afternoon,
is too observe the ghost of the year
fall into shadow,
fall from grace

If only the list that Santa Claus made, dividing the world into who was naughty and who was nice, actually applied to the world of cinema also. If it did that weaving of Christmas spirit and forceful animosity on the theatres of each and every city then perhaps studios might think twice about making such films as Krampus, or at least find way to portray them in a better light.
I can still smell the cordite
as it lingers in the air,
as it fuses with the cheap
whisky of my youth and the perfume,
the beautiful perfume of a hundred women
I’ve kissed, I longed for…
and yet I still smell the cordite
as I see the blue smoke
clouding my fingers,
collecting ash,
collecting the death bit by bit
I deny myself.
The cordite, the aftermath
of a Hemmingway smile
is perhaps preferable
to the slice,
by slice of loose skin, of taut skin,
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
It is a cause for celebration when The Frost Is All Over, a time to remember that spring is on its way, that the desolate feeling, the icy grip of a winter’s chill is but fleeting and so is the frost when the warmth of a good soul can find it in their hearts to allow the frigid nature of life to come back alive. For Kate Rusby, the warmth comes over in waves, in which ever guise her career has taken, the endless enthusiasm; the very natural air of her work spreads the passion of Folk far and wide.
