Very large database (0 more)

Doesn't always have everything (0 more)

One of the handiest apps

This is always one app I download straight away! Absolutely love it. Has a very vast database and you can almost always find the name of practically every extra in anything and oftentimes can find uncredited people.

Most pages have a full biography of actors and crew alike. More popular people have lots of photos too. It also comes in handy for trivia and when you recognise someone and just can't figure out why.

It's easy to use and all pages for TV shows have an episode list complete with original release dates. Episode pages also exist with a generalisation of the plot, often having more than one written by other people.

Only downside is that sometimes the biography doesn't have enough information on but a name can be all that's needed for a Google search.

100% recommend to everyone!

David McK (3791 KP) rated Flashman (The Flashman Papers, #1) in Books

Jan 28, 2019

First entry in George MacDonald Frase's Flashman series, in which he (re)introduces us to Harry Flashman: a totally reprehensible anti-hero, who (through the entire series) cheats, lies and connives his way through Victorian society and the great events of the era: in this case, the disastrous retreat from Kabul.

By all accounts, the history of the books are actually pretty accurate: most of the people Flashman meets and interacts with were real personages of note, and the novels contain several footnotes providing yet more historical info on the events described. While it is taken to extremes, I think it's also fairly safe to say that the character of Flashman and the way he behaves probably isn't really that far away from the way some members of society did ...

(oh, and trivia note: MacDonald Fraser wrote the screenplays for 1973s "The Three Musketeers" and it's sequel "The Four Musketeers" as well as the James Bond film "Octopussy", amongst others)
