James WigneyHit.TV Editor/Scene editor

James Wigney is the editor of the Hit.TV and Scene entertainment liftouts in the Herald Sun and Sunday Herald sun and has been writing about film, music, television and comedy for more than two decades.

He’s also a pop culture tragic, with a particular interest in sci-fi, and very broad musical tastes (and a particular soft spot for classic rock).
