So I watched half and hour of that zombie thing on BBC3, then realised I was not being made to sit through it so switched it off.

My rule of thumb has always been that if the BBC have finally jumped on a bandwagon, that shit is over.

The zombie genre has been over for a loooong time, IMO.

I hear that, but now the BBC have finally got around to hacking out some half-baked shit we're supposed to lap up and be grateful for because we've paid for it, it's official.

BBC seem to be showing a lot of TombRaider too at the moment. Now tell that's not coincidental product placement. And they're not Core's shill?

More likely that Tomb Raider is just a very cheap film to licence for broadcast and they repeat it as often as they can to get their money's worth out of it.

Tomb Raider 2 was the first film I ever walked out of.  I was so bored when that person skydived onto a moving jeep I just wanted a beer, so by reckoning that first pint cost me about a tenner.  No regrets.

edit to add: Do CORE even own Tomb Raider?  Wasn't it sold ten years ago to Crystal Dynamics/Square Enix?

Here is a box, a musical box, wound up and ready to play. But this box can hide a secret inside. Can you guess what is in it today?

I'd like that pocket TV even more if it wasn't showing the Val Doonican Christmas Special.
