By The Hodderscape Team

While Team Hodderscape do spend a considerable amount of time reading, we’re also rather fond of sitting down on the sofa and watching an episode (or twenty) of our favourite TV show.

Weekend Round-Up: Veronica Mars

By Anne Perry

It’s hard to believe that television show Veronica Mars first hit the small screen ten years ago this year. The show, about a flinty teenaged girl who helps out her PI father in her free time (and solves a fair few mysteries herself), was on the air for three seasons – one superb, one very good, and one very uneven – before being ignominiously cancelled by the network. But hope springs eternal, and when series creator Rob Thomas announced a Kickstarter in March 2013 to try to fund a film sequel, it reached its goal ($2 million) in ten hours, breaking Kickstarter records along the way. (It eventually raised close to $6 million.)
