New site launched at last

Well here it is: SFFMedia version 3.0. We're still ironing out some bugs, but so far so good. There's been a few server drop outs, so you might experience a bit of rough surfing over the next couple of days. Hopefully we'll get all the bugs ironed out by the end of the week. Just found some behind the scenes footage of The Prisioner remake with Ian McKellen (YouTube video on our front page). Looks promising. I'll add an article when I can. It's due out at the end of this year. Let us know what you think of the new site!

Time enough at last

Gerard and I decided to add personalised blog sections to the website ages ago, but I've been very slow getting my section off the ground. Finally found some time. Anyway, hello!

Unfortunately though, in a recent post he added to a Babylon 5 forum, he revealed he's had to scrap the current draft because details of the storyline had leaked on the Internet. More >>
