I was faced with a choice, at a difficult age. Would I write a book, or should I take to the stage. Saturday, May 26. Rather absently I picked up a little free in-house magazine in a music retailer in London today which I was delighted to see had a little piece half-arsedly attempting to push The Young Divas (aka The Young Beavers aka The Bin aka My Good Girlfriends) on a horrified British public. This article's first sentence described the Beavers as a "hot Australian club act". Are they doing this!

Rob Morris // Sordid Lives: The Series

http://www.fallen-angel.co.uk/2010/07/18/sordid-lives-the-series

Sordid Lives: The Series. Gay-themed drama (and I do mean drama, not porn) can be faintly painful to sit through as a viewer. The painfully obvious lack of budget, the clunky dialogue, the clumsy plot development, the sub-porn acting talent and not having any money to do any ADR seem almost determined to keep the genre in the ghetto. And I can’t recommend it highly enough. Olivia Newton-John and Rue McClanahan are the big names in a uniformly great cast and amazingly the whole thing even manage...The bud...

Rob Morris // Hello there! It’s been a while!

http://www.fallen-angel.co.uk/2011/04/21/hello-there-its-been-a-while

It’s been a while! Been a long while since I blogged, been largely too busy if I’m honest. And – for the most part – not in the good way. So yeah… me, in a room, with a captive audience, being paid to swan about and pretend I know about stuff. It’s ideal isn’t it? But it has thus far necessitated two trips out to Burlington in Massachusetts: 7 and a half weeks all told in an area which had, at the time, fairly dramatic weather. (We were snowed in to the hotel twice.). And while I was out there last time,...

Rob Morris // The Merlin Drinking Game

http://www.fallen-angel.co.uk/2010/11/28/the-merlin-drinking-game/comment-page-1

The Merlin Drinking Game. Now, I have to say, I like the BBC’s Merlin. This year has proven slightly frustrating in some ways (Morgana just suddenly becoming evil and showing no other character, no-one else in Camelot discovering about Merlin, etc) but it’s a likeable enough show with engaging leads and high production values. So in preparation for the first part of the two part finale. The Coming of Arthur. To be followed next week by. The Mopping Up of Merlin. A drink for every evil smirk from Morgana.

http://www.fallen-angel.co.uk/articles

I have, on a few occasions, been lucky enough to get some of my non-fictional material published in a professional publication. It hasn’t happened often, mind, but there we are. Send in the Clones. An article I wrote for TV Zone about the constant recycling of ideas in Cult TV. Published in TV Zone #134. Science Fiction Double Feature. An article I wrote for a TV Zone special concerning itself with the general abundance of magic in Science Fiction. Published in TV Zone Special #39. Despite being a writer...

Rob Morris // Elisabeth Sladen

http://www.fallen-angel.co.uk/2011/04/21/elisabeth-sladen

Tuesday night he looked up from Facebook on his iPad. “Sarah something on Doctor Who has died? 8221; he said. “What’s that about? I checked my own Facebook and twitter and just froze. “Oh Christ,” I said. “It’s Lis Sladen.”. He sat bolt upright, like a rabbit caught in headlights, and put his hand to his mouth. “No! We barely spoke for the next half hour. Such was the shock at hearing of Elisabeth’s death. It was, frankly unthinkable. Posted on April 21, 2011 Filed Under Film, TV, Theatre. Push the Butto...

Rob Morris // Push the Button – Kylie

http://www.fallen-angel.co.uk/2013/08/11/push-the-button-kylie

Push the Button – Kylie. Been a while since I last blogged – not had much to say if truth be told. But last night I finally did a much sought after slot at Push the Button, the most brilliant of Gay Club Nights in Vauxhall. It was one of their famed Minogue vs Minogue nights, with yesterday’s being specifically Kylie themed and I was honoured to be asked, DJing under my alter ego (Atomic Slattern). I was quite pleased with it, though. Bananarama – Movin’ On (2012 Mix). Kylie Minogue – Made In Heaven.

Rob Morris // Essay

http://www.fallen-angel.co.uk/essay

This is possibly my finest hour and probably deserves a page of its own… Ladies and Gentlemen I present to you the dissertation which formed the greater part of my final year degree coursework way back in 2001. The Function and Etymology of Proper Nouns in the Work of J.K. Rowling. Yeah, you read that correctly. There’s an introductory note in there too which sort of sets the scene as to the hows and the whys. The Boy Who Could But Didn’t. Other Blogs I Like. On The Parade – Terrorize the Dancefloor.

Rob Morris // Short Fiction

http://www.fallen-angel.co.uk/fiction

Well, I have moments where I seem unable to help myself. I have an undeniably creative bent at times. Every now and then it tumbles out of me in a desire to actually do something more than just blog and write articles about cult TV. So here, for your delight and delectation are some unpublished fictional pieces. This was a short story I wrote for an artist I knew. He was interested in something he could turn into a graphic novel/comic strip type of thing. It never really progressed beyond this dr...Zacha...
