So that’s that then. The Pandorica opened and closed, trapping the Doctor within it. Rory’s an Auton, Amy’s dead, River and the TARDIS have gone boom, and all universes have ceased to exist. Bugger. Steven Moffat has said in interviews this week that tonight’s episode will simply be light music and a note of apology [...]

And so, after five series of retro tunes and outfits, mysterious visions and crimes of the week, the Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes sage finally ends tonight. The two shows have been among the best television of the 2000s and 2010s (yes, even though the new decade’s less than six months in, I predict this [...]

THE LOWCULTURE VERDICT How did tonight’s new episodes of Heroes and Law and Order: UK fare, then? Did they meet, or even exceed, my fairly humble expectations for them? Law and Order: UK was a curious concept for me. I haven’t seen its US counterpart(s), so I can’t tell what was part of the format [...]
