Farewell from Steven on Media
Steven on Media will no longer be actively maintained. Posts will remain available for historical purposes. This is due to full-time work commitments, which take up most of my time now - leaving no time for me to write content for this blog.
Thanks to everyone who supported the blog and its content - it is very much appreciated! Catch ya around some time.

So, what’s all this then?
You've stumbled upon the blog of Steven McTainsh, a media enthusiast and web/software developer currently living in Wellington, New Zealand. The blog covers topics from television to film, with sprinkles of personal opinion thrown in.
