It was sad to hear the news that Wayne Rogers, best known for playing “Trapper” John, had passed away on the 31st December 2015. MASH had been a big part of my childhood. I first heard of MASH in 1987 or 1988, I can’t remember which year. But I would have been 10 or 11…

Back to the Future Day – Do you remember the future?
So we are finally here in the future and now the past. The 21st October 2015. For those who have been living in a bubble this is the date that Marty McFly and Doc Brown go forward to from 1985 in Back to the Future Part II. It’s amazing that a film from 1985 with…

NG Digital/Geek Force’s Hour of Power/Back to the Future

NG Digital/Geek Force’s Hour of Power/Back to the Future
Through a random tweet by Gary we ended up being asked by Darren Patterson, the head honcho of NG Digital radio station, if we wanted to contribute to his broadcasting service with a show. We hadn’t planned on doing any audio and our main focus was going to be podcasts but as we had been…
