Will We Soon See The DEATH Of Television? By R.Shakespeare-Wilson
A
s the economic climate gets worse, more people are finding it impossible to afford a TV. First there’s TV Licence, then the cost of buying a TV and with the exit of traditional analogue TV people are forced to splash out on a TV with Freeview incorporated or a Freeview box. Combined with other household bills including gas, electricity, water, rent, broadband (the list goes on)more people have decided to ditch traditional television and make double use of the broadband already being paid for. Some people are just plain fed up of the constant repeats shown on Freeview channels and getting Sky is unaffordable so they are choosing to watch online. There are now endless possibilities available which is a blessing for many people and most content is available for free from a variety

of providers from well known mainstream channels e.g. BBC I player and 4oD to amateur content uploaded by individuals just like ourselves available on YouTube., Another added benefit is being able to pause content whilst watching who needs Sky+? We have already seen the death of the house phone as more and more people are choosing to ditch their house phone in favour of cheaper mobile calls and people that do have house phones mostly have them by default as part of their broadband deal. Remember to be careful what sites you use and avoid prompts to download software or the film as this is often a virus or pointless software that will slow your computer down. So what are you waiting for, get clicking and begin a brand new viewing experience today.

What’s Hot &
What’s Not!!

Spin: Series 1
Britain Today Online: Top 10 of 2012 watched this after seeing an article about it online. I thought it was overacted with a few funny punchlines. I found myself thinking that Russell Howard really does funny news a lot better! To be honest unless you’re really bored I’d give the top 10 of 2012 shows a miss. Rating- 2/5 You can find the show here: http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=lNJsO32A6Ss
I
’ m glued to this at the moment, the storyline is compelling and addictive, the camera shots are seamless and the acting is believable and on par with those on mainstream television. The team behind it take an age to upload and the last episode was highly anticipated and then posted day’s late sparking outrage amongst Spin fans but I’m sure most of us forgave them when they uploaded Episode 5 so quickly! Rating-4/5 You can find Spin here: http:// www.youtube.com/user/SpinDramaTv

COMEDY
Leslie This two part comedy goes back to the basics of comedy, combining an unlikely pair in the form of a middle aged woman (Leslie) and a homeless man who she invites into her home out of pity in an attempt to “channel Mother Theresa. http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=M9go5aAgmJA
DRAMA Lauren
your fave tunes but don’t expect to hear any new information. However it’s nice to remember how far he has come so it’s definitely worth watching. http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=px3Q8zbu79s
This gripping series follows Lauren a soldier in her desperate bid to get justice after she is viciously raped by her colleagues. This is a very taboo subject and at the end they highlight the shocking statistics about rape in the army. Hopefully if people continue to raise awareness, more can be done to get justice for victims. http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=JKYfdO5LFDs

REWIND: Circle Of Revenge By R.Shakespeare-Wilson
Every issue, I’ll share my favourite video posted more than two years ago (in internet time that’s a long time)! So sit back and relax because I’ve got a great one for you.

irst posted 2 years ago, Circle of Revenge started as a web series and was eventully made into a feature film. It is a gritty, urban tale from the streets showing how one death
sparks revenge and the consequences that follow. The cast are extremely strong making them easy to relate to. At some points, the plot gets a bit confusing and it’s hard to remember
who’s beefing who but don’t worry there’s a recap halfway through for those of you who get lost. Hopefully we may one day see one of the stars on the Hollywood big screen.
