The Perfect Way To Rainbow Brite-n Up Your House!
Remember growing up thinking....when I'm older I'm going to create the most amazing, bestist, most awesome house full of all my favourite things! Put up that wall paper your parents wouldn't let you have, hell even put a fireman's pole into the kitchen or have a slide for stairs! Why not right?
For most of us this will sadly remain a dream for the most part, but there are some unsung heroes amongst us who keep that dream alive...not only that, they take the jump and make it reality!
Yep one superfan has been busy creating her very own Rainbow Brite themed house that is every 80s kids dream!
Receiving her first Rainbow Brite doll for her fifth birthday, Katy Haile, from Apex in North Carolina, was hooked and has kept her passion alive in true style!
Katie has worked tirelessly and has transformed her home into The Rainbow Land Museum which boasts some amazing and oh-so colourful decoration as well as a whole host of amazing retro toys and memorabilia. Take a peep....

The Day of the Doctor - Doctor Who 50th Anniversary!
Calling all Doctor Who fans, today is the 50th anniversary of the BBC's longest running sci-fi extravaganza and there's going to be a mammoth feature length episode of the show to celebrate!
The 50th anniversary episode will air at 7.50pm on BBC One and is going to be broadcast as part of a worldwide simulcast in over 75 countries, which is testament to just how popular Doctor Who has become! An official statement has been revealed outlining what you can expect from the Doctors greatest adventure yet...
"In 2013, something terrible is awakening in London's National Gallery; in 1562, a murderous plot is afoot in Elizabethan England; and somewhere in space an ancient battle reaches its devastating conclusion. All of reality is at stake as the Doctor's own dangerous past comes back to haunt him."
The episode will pay homage to the show's history with appearances from Tenth Doctor David Tennant and his companion Billie Piper as well as a few other special guests that are being kept under wraps, who else could be returning? It's all very exciting as the show's boss Steven Moffat has promised that this episode will change the narrative of the show in a big way, we can't wait!
If all of these celebrations have got you in the mood for some goodies, we have got a great selection of Doctor Who T-Shirts and Doctor Who gifts that any self confessed fan will fall in love with. With Christmas fast approaching this is also the perfect opportunity to browse our selection of Gifts for Geeks, we're bound to have a present that your friends and family will fall in love with!

Channel 4 Airs Nostalgia Night this Friday!
Roll up Roll up! Get your leg warmers out and get ready to rock some retro as this Friday (20th September), Channel 4 will be turning back the clock to the 80s for a night of nostalgic fun.
_
That's right peeps! Channel 4 will be hosting a special Nostalgia Night of sorts which will see classic shows brought back to life, as well as some new twists on some familiar TV faves.
The evening will host a night of classic shows, all given a splash of 80s and in between programs, we will be treated to a host of comedy sketches featuring some interesting celebs. Taking the limelight will be cult classic 'Fifteen to One' which hasn't aired in 10 years!
The show will be hosted by comedian Adam Hills for this one-off special event and will see 15 celebrities battle it out win the notoriously tricky quiz show.
The night will end with a documentary about music show The Tube. It will look at the program's rise and fall, the social context that it existed in and also feature a host of stars looking back at their contributions.
4th Jurassic Park Film Uncovered....With New Name!
Anyone who's anyone has seen and LOVED the classic Jurassic Park (no rhyme intended) movies from back in our youth...or what we like to call the glory days of films. Not that we're biased at all!
These films are still some of our all-time favourites and we're pretty sure will still be as much loved by us when we're kicking it in the nursing homes as they were back when we thought the Sega was the pinnacle of gaming. Actually we kind of still do :)
Because of recent troubles with the Pirates of the Caribbean film, which is being delayed while writers wrestle with the screenplay, it seems this has created some time and space for Colin Trevorrow, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver to set to work on the next Jurassic Park script! Woop!
But it's back with a twist! Yep Universal Pictures has announced the next instalment will carry the title of Jurassic Word instead of its classic title. New title or not, this film comes our way a whopping 14 years after the last release, Jurassic Park III, and 22 years after the original in 1993.
Jurassic World will hit cinemas in June 2015 and while Steven Spielberg will sadly not be directing, he'll be an executive producer so something to hold onto there. The filmâs new 2015 release comes in a pretty darn competitive year for blockbuster films too, with the new Batman-Superman combo film, the next installment of the Star Wars franchise from Disney and of course the new Avengers: Age of Ultron all due for release. What a year!
