Christmas. A time for some of the worst television of the year – endless nostalgia programmes, repeats of Christmas specials and a whole channel dedicated to watching Jamie Oliver cook Christmas dinner for his family.

After changing my story a bit from being more about the importanceContinue reading “Afi Film in the Can!”

But, I have decided to make a conscious effort to change my ways and become a much more regular blogger so be ready forContinue reading “Spring 2014 Update: A New Idea for a New Year”
