Factual, You Say?
This level of understanding as to what words, y'know, actually mean might be a clue as to why the 'London Lite' newspaper is given away free, as opposed to them asking you to part with the old hard-earned for it...
It's the free spin-off of the Evening Standard, which probably gives you a clue how good it's going to be...
Just realised that the 'review' element of that column appears pretty much to consist of reading the back of the DVD box (or, even more likely, the first few paragraphs of the press release). Impressive!
London-based writer, runner, mountain-climber and constant drinker of tea.
And, if the photo on my profile is to be believed, occasional Oscar Wilde impersonator.

Be fair now, those are definitely real DVD's, and that's a fact.
Awful, awful rag. I read it once and decided that it would make better bottom fodder. If only the pages were softer.
Oh, it's very bad indeed - as Rob points out, they are real DVDs, but I'm far from sure that they're being 'reviewed' in a 'real' newspaper...
