“Where’s Your Rebellious Backchat?”

[Contains stomped/stolen mobile-phones and SPOILERS!!] After the recent resurrection of my crush on Lauren Socha, I discovered the Misfits (S1-3) boxset on sale for a fiver, and snapped it up. I can now happily report that the first series is … Continue reading

BAFTA-TV 22/05/11
