Will they find the talisman that previously bound them together, or will their community,...

Wizards Vs Aliens delivers a confident, surprising double-bill this week, one that proves it can well withstand recent cast changes...
This review contains spoilers.

It’s even less surprising when, exactly ten minutes in, she witnesses Tom performing magic for the first time and the veil drops from her eyes.
As a character to replace Benny, Katie makes complete sense. Manpreet Bambra hasn’t always had a lot to work with on the show, but over three years she’s established...
