Upcoming TV: The Devil, his whore, and the Survivors
In the first of what could become a regular thing here on Is There Food, I wanted to bring to your attention a few TV shows that might be of interest.
First off, and starting tonight, is Apparitions. Martin Shaw plays an exorcist in what could be a great new horror series from the BBC. It’s [...]
Dead Set: Zombies + Gore + BB = Great TV
Any regular reader of this site will know that I’m a big fan of zombies.

Doctor Who: 2 – 5: Rise of the Cybermen
When the ninth Doctor encountered the last surviving Dalek in last season’s aptly named “Dalek”, the weight of their previous encounters was impressively tangible. Setting aside any complaints about sensitive Daleks getting in touch with their emotions, the reunion in the early stages of that episode was, for many, an event. The general consensus of [...]
