The Hour episode one review – Style and substance

In the UK “The Hour” – a new series from BBC2 – is being touted as ‘the UK’s answer to “Mad Men”‘, but I think such sentiment does the show a disservice, somehow suggesting it has lifted from that show. “The Hour” centres on a newsroom in the 1950′s, there’s gender politics, conspiracy theory and...

Christina Hendricks running a bath too much for McFayden

This is pretty funny (in a sleazy unprofessional way), so I thought I’d report on it. KTLA morning show anchor Brian McFayden was interviewing Mad Men star Christina Hendricks when he clearly loses the power to think straight.
