You Have Been Watching…NEDS
Whatever your expectations of Peter Mullan’s latest film NEDS are, prepare to have them confounded. You look at the poster and the tagline ‘Everyone Need To Be Taught a Lesson’ and you’ll likely think; gangs, knives, fantastic amounts of swearing, hopefully some dark humour, and, if your lucky, the possibility of redemption. All of these are […]

@TEOTD CANT B RSED – TTFN – FLETCH
So Stephen Fletcher has decided to join a long list of Scottish non-footballing anti-heroes, from Kris Boyd to… erm… Lee McCulloch? But the once-promising Wolverhampton benchwarmer has applied a novel twist to his retirement from the international scene: doing it by SMS.

You Have Been Watching…(TV Special) The Book Group
This is exactly the kind of writing that should find its way on to TV screens more often. The Book Group was a Channel 4 comedy that aired for two series in 2002 and 2003. Channel 4 used to be the happy home for new and exciting British comedy, before their twin obsessions of Big Brother and body […]

Peenko’s Ones To Watch in 2011 #3 – Thirty Pounds of Bone
It might seem a bit of an odd choice for me to be choosing Thirty Pounds of Bone, aka multi-instrumentalist, Johny Lamb, as one of my tips for 2011. For one, his latest album, ‘Method’ came out last year, plus he doesn’t sound particularly Scottish, but ever since Al from Armellodie sent his album over […]
