It's our last episode before Christmas, and as Ross joked about last week, Chris got called away to some unexpected family commitments at the last minute so I'm flying solo (I really should have Ross pick my Lotto numbers) ;).

We're 40 episodes in, and once again we have a packed show for you! This week, we interview Abel Korzeniowski, the man behind the sumptuous score for Sky Atlantic's Penny Dreadful, along with lots of tv news and gaming chat with Chris. Golden Globe Nominated composer Abel Korzeniowski recently received two Emmy nominations for his work on Sky Atlantic’s hit show "Penny Dreadful," starring Josh Hartnett, Eva Green and Timothy Dalton.  Abel burst into international prominence with his lush and stirring music in Tom Ford’s "A Single Man" starring Colin Firth and Julianne Moore. The Golden Globe-nominated score caught the attention of music legend Madonna, who invited Abel to write music for her feature film "W.E.," for which he received his second Golden Globe nomination. A collaboration which continued onto her next 2 albums on which he orchestrated a number of tracks. In this weeks show: We take a look at the tv & films we’ve watched over the last week, and a catch up with Chris.

We're back with our 39th episode, and this week, along with all the usual news and air date info, we have an interview with UNTIL DAWN composer Jason Graves, who talks about the challenges of composing music for a very unique game. Until Dawn is an interactive drama survival horror adventure game, which (for our older listener) is somewhat akin to the old 'choose your own adventure' books. When eight friends are trapped on a remote mountain retreat and things quickly turn sinister, they start to suspect they aren’t alone. Gripped by fear and with tensions in the group running high, you’ll be forced to make snap decisions that could mean life, or death, for everyone involved. Every choice you make in your terrifying search for answers – even the seemingly trivial ones – will carve out your own unique story. The game stars Hayden Panettiere (Heroes, Nashville), Rami Malek (Mr Robot), Brett Dalton (AoS), Peter Stormare (Arrow older Count Vertigo, Berlin in the Black List). Jason Graves is...

It's our 38th episode and we're back with Chris, and an interview with Christopher Brookmyre, author of numerous award winning novels (Quite Ugly One Morning, Boiling a Frog, All Fun And Games until Someone Loses an Eye), and writer of the video game and novel Bedlam. Ross (aka Bedlam) is an overworked and underpaid scientist developing medical technology for corporate giant Neurosphere. In the book, one rainy Monday morning Ross volunteers as a test candidate for the new brain scanning tech – anything to get out of the office for a few hours. But when he gets out of the scanner he discovers he’s not only escaped the office, but possibly escaped real life for good! Ross finds himself trapped in Starfire – the violent sci-fi game he spent his teenage years playing – with no explanation, no backup and, most terrifyingly, no way out! For the game they are taking a slightly different perspective... a female perspective… Players will take on the role of Heather, a colleague of Ross, who is a... Support this show h
