Why do the (twelve year-old) ladies swoon for Kalan? And why do the fairlyvains puff up for that puffin Graydon Carter? Our panel of critics, the talented lovelies Atkinson and Agrell, will mix constructive criticism with 'what-the-fug-were-they-thinking' honesty to bring you, dear readers, the skinny on all things......
