Sherlock sticks BAFTA in pipe, smokes it

TV News | Ed Williamson | 23rd May 2011

One thing I like about the BAFTA TV Awards is how none of them is called 'Best'' anything. What's more British than that? It's like sports day when the kid who turned up with no kit and had to run in his pants still got a prize because everyone's supposed to get treated the same. If that kid were here today and not strung out on glue in a car park stairwell somewhere, he'd tell you the BAFTA TV Awards 2011 winners are all after the jump.

Fosters may be terrible watery slop masquerading as lager, but we should still stop and raise a glass of other available beverage to its makers in thanks for a couple of things.

Movie Review | Ali | 22nd September 2008

It's been seven years since Ben Stiller directed a movie, poking fun at the conceited world of male models in Zoolander.

There's no danger of Stiller being castigated by his own industry, mind - he's not so much biting the hand that fe...

Night At The Museum

Movie Review | Ali | 28th December 2006

Boxing day; not a day traditionally associated with boxing by any means, or indeed any physical activity of the sort. No, in my borough, the day after Christmas is spent slumped on the sofa, consuming whatever's left of the family's confectionary, picking ones arse, and, if you're feeling especially adventurous, keeping the eye...
