The Voice- Can It Survive After The Blind Auditions?
The Voice is on its second series here in the UK and the judges Will.I.Am, Danny, Jessie J and Tom are back to find 'The Voice'. The Blind Auditions are over so will the show go downhill now?
The Voice had huge ratings when it began back in 2012 and even beat Britain's Got Talent for several weeks. The blind auditions wowed everyone with its originality and the battle rounds were quite enjoyable. The idea of having people sing without seeing them was quite a cool idea but when it got to the live shows, many people turned off. The live shows lacked something special, the comments were very predictable and unfortunately many people turned off by the time Leanne Mitchell won the show. Her single failed but to be fair this was mainly due to lack of publicity.

Journey To The Centre Of The TARDIS - Episode discussion
It's that time of the week again, folks. I was out last night, so only caught Journey To The Centre Of The TARDIS this afternoon.
In a nutshell: A space salvage crew snares the TARDIS, Clara gets lost somewhere inside, and The Doctor tricks the salvage guys into helping him find her. Oh, and there are weird scorched space-zombies lurking in the bowels of the time machine...
The Ice Cream Girls- Who’s The Killer?
The Ice Cream Girls is a three-part drama on ITV, based on the novel of the same name by Dorothy Koomson. With the final part on Friday, we will soon find out who really killed Marcus.
The book by Dorothy Koomson was released back in 2010 with the same name and now the drama has arrived on our screens on ITV. I have read the book so I have noticed some differences so far in the drama and the ending is meant to be different also so I'm not sure who the killer is.

Doctor Who: Do we really want to know the Doctor's name?
The series 7 finale of Doctor Who is to be called "The Name Of The Doctor". Steven Moffat is already hard at work teasing this episode, which will be the one which leads into the series' 50th anniversary episode.
Obviously Doctor Who has been the question baked right into the show's title since it began 50 years ago. The poster for the episode has a subtitle of "His secret revealed", but this is a Moffat show and we've been thrown red herrings in the past. Will Moffat really remove a key piece of the mystery that surrounds The Doctor?
Continuum season 2: Episode 3 title and synopsis "Second Chances"
Another great time travel show that's recently come back to our screens is Canadian series Continuum. The show stars Rachel Nichols as Kiera Cameron, an enforcer from the future who is blasted back in time along with a group of futuristic terrorists intent on taking down the evil corporations who control the world in that time.
Season 2 continues with episode 3 - "Second Chances". And it looks like Liber8 are pressing hard with their terrorist agenda by recruiting street thugs. This ties in perfectly with what was said in the season premiere about the group infiltrating business, politics and the criminal underworld. Here's the synopsis:
Doctor Who: Hide - episode discussion
Okay, I heard all your feedback on the other Doctor Who thread. But it seems ridiculous to have comments about a current episode on such an old thread, so I decided to create a thread here for Hide.
I've got to be upfront with you all though - I'm hating the current season of Doctor Who. I think the series has become nonsensical and it has strayed away from the heart and heroism of the Ecclestone/Tennant days.

Spartacus: War Of The Damned - Crixus (and Agron) dead, killed by Romans
Just watched the Separate Paths episode of Spartacus: War Of The Damned. If you're like me and you obsessively read the Wikipedia pages about Spartacus' war, you'll already know that Crixus was destined to lead his own batallion against the Romans, splitting away from Spartacus in the process.
And then you'll know that this is what led to Crixus being killed by the Romans.

Oz: The Great And Powerful Review!
The prequel to the famous 'Wizard of Oz' has arrived at cinemas starring Michelle Williams, James Franco, Mila Kunis and Rachel Weisz. The story provides us with a magical journey that is spectacular in 3D.
The first Wizard of Oz film was made back in 1939, which was about Dorothy who finds herself in Oz and wants to go back home. It has become a sensation with many musicals and other films being created. This new film however is a prequel to the story and focuses on Oscar Diggs (Oz) and how he ends up in the wonderful world of Oz. I saw this film in 3D and it was definitely an experience to remember.
