Life’s Too Short – More Reviews Soon
Sorry ladies and gents, it’s been a hectic couple of weeks in Little Lady Towers with one thing and another, so I’ll be catching up with last week’s episode and this week’s too on the BBC iPlayer and then reviewing. Hope you are all well and looking forward to Christmas. One of my favourite times …
The Making of… Life’s Too Short Review
I really, really wanted to hate this programme and there were a few toe-curling moments. But not because it was a gag about a dwarf or poking fun at a dwarf. What really comes through is the strength of (or more like the lack of) character played by Warwick Davis. How many of us can …

The Conundrum That Is Family Guy…
…the animated US series that is shown (usually) very late on an evening on BBC 3 is like Marmite. You either love it or hate it. Me? I.love.it. Huh? How come? Some readers maybe wondering considering my usual aghast at the world and it’s portrayal of people with restricted growth and disabilities. Don’t worry, I …
Disability Now – Warwick Davis Article
Check out the interview with the short actor Warwick Davis as he talks about his career and up and coming series called ‘Life’s To Short’ which I discussed being rather apprehensive about in a previous post. Warwick admits that the sitcom will probably ‘strike a few nerves’ though insists that it is he who will …
