Supervising sound editor Jane Tattersall, sound designer Brennan Mercer and rerecording mixers Matthew Chan and Lou Solakofski knew the stakes were high for Paramount+ series “Halo,” based on the wildly popular Xbox video game, which for years had been trying to make the leap to movie theaters.
“There was enormous pressure,” says Tattersall of the series, which is in the middle of its nine-episode first-season run on the streamer. Also head of sound for Toronto’s Formosa Group, which was responsible for post-production sound work on the show, Tattersall says producer Sheila Hockin had told them that “it’s very important to learn not only the world of the game, but also respect the fans.” Set in the 26th century, “Halo” focuses on a cybernetically enhanced super soldier known only as Master Chief (Pablo Schreiber), who leads his fellow Spartans in defending humanity from an alien race.

Biography Channel has a new series called "Paranormal Trauma." Unlike its cousins that investigates the unknown, this program offers up a different formula that is heartily welcomed. This show deals with the people affected by their encounter with the supernatural and explores how they are coping.
The anxieties and dread these people felt has affected their daily life for far too long, and they are tired of it. Unless they get help, those emotions they harbour are just going to drag them down.
In the pilot episode, two cases are explored. The most intriguing one is about Matt, a man with a child’s fear of the dark. This problem developed after having encountered the ghost of his grandfather and cousin when he was at the age of 13. He was very close to them when they were alive,...

University Challenge
So did you see it? The great TV event of the week -- nay, of the year -- took place on Monday. I'm talking, bien sur, about the final of "University Challenge" -- the program wherein teams of four students from the greatest universities in the land, and some less great ones, square off against each other in the hopes of being named Brainiest Brainbox Boffin Brains. The way it works, if you don't live in the country or are the sort of backward half-mind who doesn't watch "University Challenge" and prefers to live in your pigswill-stained hovel with no books, is that the teams have to buzz to answer one question that is open to both of them, and upon winning that starter question, get to tackle three more.
Or, as the fabulous Jeremy Paxman put it at the start of the show, "if you don't know the rules by now,...
