Welcome to BCTV Sunday Slices, our little slice of weekly heaven where I look back at Bleeding Cool's television (BCTV) coverage from the past week to bestow some incredibly not objective, totally opinionated wisdom on what has become of the television landscape. The week leading into a July 4th weekend tends to be a bit […]

The Night Manager and Hanna writer David Farr is teaming up with Comcast-owned European broadcaster Sky for an eight-part series adaptation of John Wyndham's (The Day Of The Triffids) sci-fi novel The Midwich Cuckoos.

Of course, as much as we're fans […]

I just received a big box of Watchmen stuff from HBO after it battled its way through customs. Somewhat personalised too. An unboxing in which I battle with my own hypocrisy. Go take a look… Watchmen airs on HBO on October 20th and on Sky TV on October 21st.
