What’s On The BBC This Christmas?
If you need a little guide on what to watch this Christmas, we have the best, hand-picked shows we think you should watch. BBC has to be the one we all put on because they have NO ADS! NO ADS! (Unlike those other channels). Continue reading
Music “In Da Club” – December 2013
One of the first posts we ever did on this site was called something along these lines, and I looked at “big club anthems” and what was likely to be played. The irony is that I never go out because I dislike loud, cramped spaces and hot sweaty people standing too close to me.
But I’ve just discovered this which changes my whole view on clubbing.
If Home in Lincoln can play this (or indeed any other equally good establishment, we’re not advertising), it will make my evening and I will start attending nights out.
I can’t help but feel that if Miley Cyrus had released stuff like that to begin with, then we wouldn’t have the problem we’ve got now.
Also, this, “Wideboys Club Remix” of the annoying foetus of pop Conor Maynard has even managed to make one of his more boring songs (and that’s saying something) actually listenable.
Lincoln, you have been challenged. Start playing terrible pop but amazing remixes, then I shall attend your clubs once more.
(Oh yeah, also I don’t like alcohol, which kind of kills it for going out for me).
Second Star To The Left Review
As you may already know, throughout the Christmas period Lincoln and That are reviewing all the best Christmas films (yes, ALL the BEST Christmas films).
After a long search on YouTube I came across what I was searching for. Second Star to the Left is a film I vaguely remember from being about eight or nine. All I can remember was that it involved a rabbit, guinea pig and hamster who had to deliver a present.
The film itself is only 29 minutes long, so I decided to sit down and see if young Alice had good taste. It turns out it wasn’t too bad…
Holiday In Handcuffs (A Family Friendly Film)
Holiday in Handcuffs, a ‘delightful’ Christmas film, stars the actress that played Sabrina in Sabrina the teenage witch (Melissa Joan Hart) and some guy from Saved by the Bell (Mario Lopez). Continue reading
Polar Bear King Review
If you like fairy tales, Christmas films and the best graphics ever, then Polar Bear King might be for you.
This is providing you’ve got a good sense of humour and you’re ready for some utter cringe.
It’s basically your typical fairy tale gone wrong. There’s a princess, a king, and a deranged witch (more of cougar in this case), who is determined to make the king’s life hell because he doesn’t want to marry her. But being a bit of a hipster cougar witch, she decides that instead of turning him into the ‘oh so mainstream’ frog, she’ll make him into a polar bear instead.
But if this seems weird, you’ve seen nothing yet.
Whilst the king is from Summer Land, the princess spends day after day in Winter Land (it’s so original it brings tears to our eyes…) dreaming lustfully of finding her prince whilst her dad talks to crows.
Her dreams come true when the king, who’s now a polar bear, randomly turns up when she’s chilling in the snow one day.
Instead of getting scared, she talks to him and instantly falls in love after discovering the truth. You could call it destiny or love at first sight (or bestiality?) Either way, it’s utterly creepy and the plot moves far too fast. A few minutes later, he basically proposes.
Sadly, she can’t marry him until the cougar’s spell breaks, which apparently takes a very long time…
To quote the synopsis – ‘will they live happily ever after, or will the jealous witch ruin their plans?’
You’ll have to watch this wonderful, Oscar deserving epic to find out!
Parks and Recreation – A Show Not About Parks
What a deceptive title, it isn’t all about parks, but it is a little bit.
If you haven’t had chance to see Parks and Recreation yet, you really should.
The comedy stars Tina Fey’s best friend Amy Poehler, and she’s just as good as playing the head of the department in Pawnee, Indiana as Tina Fey is in managing her staff as Liz Lemon from 30 Rock.
The show features the same level of dysfunctional office politics. You also feel from day one as though you are really in on the jokes they exchange in the office. You quickly learn that Jerry is the butt of all office jokes (who has a timeshare in Muncie, IN, much to the amusement of the other staff). Tom starts all the office jokes, and April isn’t as bad really as she first appears.
The story lines always seem to be potential real situations for local councillors everywhere, a lack of funding, lack of public interest, and lack of interest from other councillors. You feel as though this could almost be a real fly on the wall documentary, if it weren’t so funny.
The first series does start poorly, but the second season onwards is where it gets better. The first season is only six episodes (about two hours in total), so still worth watching for all the character introductions.
The show seems to evolve in countless ways, always relevant, and always amusing. If you enjoyed 30 Rock and are still mourning the loss of the show, you will definitely love Parks and Recreation.
It’s also available on BBC Four, which 30 Rock isn’t, how distressing.
Badass: Google Play Music
So you don’t own an iPod or an iPhone because you are way “too hip” for that. (Yeah I went there). And don’t want to be a hipster like the other four members of Lincoln & That. Well I have the ideal solution for where you can listen to music for FREE! Continue reading
On the Tellybox – December 2013
There’s currently a lot of notable programmes on your telly, so we thought, alongside the typical student diet of chilli con carne, pizza, lectures and drinking, that we’d tell you what is on that box in the corner of the room, what’s currently worth watching, and what’s not.
Simpsons Tapped Out
For the last few weeks, Homer Simpson bellowing out the words “better them than me” has been following me everywhere. These little outbursts take place at the most inconvenient times – on the bus, in the queue for a pint of milk, even in the uni library, but why is Tapped Out such an addictive game? Continue reading
30 Rock…A Comedy TV Show That’s Not About Rocks

Need laughter? Desperate for procrastination? Finished watching Breaking Bad? Is that three yeses? Then we have the ideal show for you! It’s true, we do. Its 30 Rock, created by and starring Tina Fey. Continue reading
PRISM Review
When I first heard that Katy Perry’s intentions with this new album was to create something with “darker elements” than her other works, which means presumably she’s stopped spraying whipped cream from her breasts, I wondered what the result would be.
