Robert Holmes: A Life In Words book review . If he were still with us, Robert Holmes would probably be bewildered and appalled at becoming the subject of a book. A humble man, he referred to himself as “just a hack script writer”. Classic Who fans disagree; for many, this …

It’s WrestleMania III and I’m Ricky Steamboat, a man about to make history by defeating Randy Savage for the Intercontinental Title in front of 93,173 screaming fans. It’s a revered match that’s worth gamifying for WWE 2K14, but as I try to finish the final bonus objective, my pinning attempt …

Or Speed 3: Hastings Or Bust . This low-budget indie thriller sees Dougray Scott’s widowed doctor attempting to save his son and fellow passenger Sarah (winsome EastEnder Kara Tointon) as a madman cuts the brakes on their train.
