Well, here we are then- the final week of March 2013. Didn't the end of the month come around quickly? To celebrate, the entertainment industry is packing more into the next seven days than ever before. Let's not beat around the bush, then- here's our full guide to what's ahead between now and Easter Sunday...
GAME OF THRONES: VALAR MORGALIS- Sky Atlantic's Season Two re-run reaches its dramatic end as the third season's premiere is just a week away. With the Battle Of Blackwater Bay terminated by Tywin's forces and their arrival in King's Landing, the Starks, Lannisters and Baratheons have a final battle of steel and wits to enact. Over the seas, though, what has become of the Mother of Dragons...? (Monday 25th)
NOW! THAT'S WHAT I CALL MUSIC 84- This latest edition in the Now! range features a host of the best music releases from late 2012 and the early months of 2013. These include One Way Or Another, Scream And Shout, Troublemaker, Diamonds, The Power Of Love and A Thousand Years, a populist yet decent selection of favourite popular tracks! (Monday 25th)
DOCTOR WHO: THE CAVES OF ANDROZANI OTS- Definitely a more indie release, this one- the Official Television Soundtrack range by Silva Screen for Doctor Who seasons between 2005-2013 have been a huge hit, so to celebrate the 50th Anniversary Silva are now releasing an official soundtrack to the classic Peter Davison adventure The Caves Of Androzani. Worth a shot for pure nostalgia! (Monday 25th)
ARROW: THE HUNTRESS RETURNS- Arrow is back for another run of brilliant new epsiodes, with only seven episodes of its first season remaining. This week, the Hood faces the return of the deadly and elusive Huntress into his life, while Moira reels from the consequences of her attempts to have Malcolm Merlyn assassinated...(Monday 25th)
DOCTOR WHO ANNIVERSARY SEASON GUIDE- And we've made it to Tuesday! The Radio Times are bringing us their seasonly episode guide to the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary season this week. Expect an overview from Steven Moffat of this season's plot arc and all of the eight episodes- that's The Bells Of Saint John, The Rings Of Ahkaten, Cold War, Hide, Journey To The Centre Of The TARDIS, The Crimson Horror, The Last Cybermen and still-to-be-named the season finale. (Tuesday 26th)
BIOSHOCK INFINITE- We've made it to one of this year's biggest video game releases. BioShock Infinite has all the potential to become a bonafida Game Of The Year 2013 award contender, and therefore you should definitely be keeping an eye on this historic dystopia and its narrative which promises to break completely new ground for the FPS genre! (Tuesday 26th)GAME DEVELOPERS' CONFERENCE 2013- GDC is always something of a mixed event, rarely bringing major news reveals for the games industry but often at least providing insight into what's ahead in the coming year. Keep a watch on the blog for all of the news from GDC 2013 this week...(Tuesday 26th-Friday 29th)
BATTLEFIELD 4 REVEAL- EA and DICE have confirmed that GDC 2013 will at the very least bring us the full announcement of their new FPS futurisitic title Battlefield 4. Set for release and current on next-gen consoles, this new entry should hopefully push the franchise into better territory than ever before, so keep a watch on On-Screen for all of the big reveals! (Tuesday 26th)
PERCY JACKSON: SEA OF MONSTERS TRAILER- It feels like something of an age since Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief first hit cinemas in 2010, but now we're just five monts away from a new instalment in that budding film franchise! As such, the first trailer for the sequel Sea Of Monsters will be released online this week. (Thursday 28th)
THE WOLVERINE TRAILER- We've been waiting for a long while for James Mangold to unveil our first proper look at the new X-Men movie. Well, now it's time- there's mere days until the first theatrical teaser for The Wolverine arrives online...(Thursday 28th)
REVOLUTION- Sky1's latest US asset is Revolution, a show that focuses on what the Earth would become if it suddenly lost all of its electricity. A fascinating fictional insight into our dependence on power and technology, and indeed how society would cope without those now-crucial components of life. (Friday 29th)
DOCTOR WHO: THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY BEGINS- It begins! Yes, the first episode of Doctor Who's 50th Anniversary season, The Bells Of Saint John, broadcasts in the coming week to kick off the festivities. The Doctor must race against time to find and save Clara from another terminal fate, as the mysterious Spoonheads invade our Wi-Fi and the villainous Miss Kizlet (Celia Imrie) attempts to enable a world-conquering plot...plus, don't be surprised if Richard E Grant makes a returning cameo as the revived Great Intelligence, as there's more of an arc at work here than just the mystery of Clara- already, the Doctor's greatest secret is in jeaporady! (Saturday 30th)
LIFE'S TOO SHORT FINALE SPECIAL- It's the end of a (short) era. Life's Too Short had a nice full season last Autumn, but it's confirmed that this week's special will be the final ever episode of the show. Here, Warwick Davis works with Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, Keith Chegwin and many more celebrity stars to produce Willow 2, but when the team run out of cash, a hilarious series of comedy cash-grabbing antics ensue! (Saturday 30th)
AND THERE'S MORE- Rise Of The Guardians and Sightseers both land in DVD and Blu-Ray retailers tomorrow; plus the LEGO City Undercover Deluxe Edition and Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon ship for Nintendo WiiU and 3DS respectively.
AND NEXT WEEK...Don't expect things to calm down much either next week- the third season of Game Of Thrones commences, the Doctor and Clara travel to the most visually stunning and terrifying alien planet yet in Doctor Who: The Rings Of Ahkaten, Roy Harper bursts back into Oliver Queen's life in Arrow: Salvation, Jonathan Creek discovers The Clue Of The Savant's Thumb in an Easter Special, the Destiny Of The Doctor range continues with Fourth Doctor release Babblesphere and Doctor Who Magazine reveals more on the 50th Anniversary Special with Issue 459!
