ABOUT THE LADIES : Tina and Emma – incurable nerds and lovers of genre.

Emma – I love clever dialogue and a steel-trap plot. Conflicted villains, stylised gore and Nick Frost.

Tina – I love a shrewdly inserted pop culture reference, a sassy female protagonist and an edgy score. Sometimes I wish that I could be Benedict Cumberbatch’s underpants.

What they want to do for the show:

Emma – We want to concentrate on the sub-genres of Science Fiction and Horror in television – the bastardization of ‘creatures’, the evolution of terror, the scores and … and an excuse to chain-watch television programmes without the guilt.

I guess we’ll also be banging on about the progression of television and moaning about how we can’t legally watch Game of Thrones and how the powers that be are literally forcing us to illegally download programs we’d happily pay for if they were available on iTunes.
Tina – I would really love to time the segments (as much as possible) around new seasons of shows starting for eg: Lost Girl series #5 commences in September, so discussing Faeries at that point would be timely.
STAY TUNED for MORE from The Lady Killers on TV starting from July!
