Great Scott!

The sad news for film fans and music fans alike has come that HMV are under pressure to stay open, failing to compete with online downloads, online film websites etc. to be downtrodden along with plenty of other big businesses going bye bye. Jessops, Comet and Clinton Cards all big retailers for cameras, computers and greetings cards have all diminished into nothingness. The state of the high street retailers has definitely shifted from 20 years ago when the only place you could buy your equipment, videos and CDs was from a big chain store like HMV. Opened in 192, HMV has been a stalwart retailer, well known for its trademark gramophone and dog. Pink font and brilliant deals.

Joel whose mother died four months previous in a factory accident, refuses to go to summer camp and decides to stay home to help his friend Charles finish a short film for the local film festival. Even with his disapproving sheriff father, Joel begins a burgeoning

After just two series, Sherlock has become the critically acclaimed BBC TV series that has launched the careers of two great British talents in Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumerbatch. It has been translated from Conan's original novels into a modern masterpiece. Thereby taking the stories from the late 1800s to the current 21st century, where forensics and the Metropolitan police have evolved beyond recognition. Unfortunately the creators, co-writers and masterminds behind it all; Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss have extra busy schedules, such so that the third series has been pushed forward to being finished in time for the new year of 2014. What with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman's careers taking off with big blockbusters all round (The Hobbit & Star Trek Into Darkness) and Moffat overseeing Doctor Who, understandably it has taken the back bench. The camarardery between Holmes and Watson is what makes the show so interesting. A 21st century take on the i
