I think I must actually be the adult audience that the new series of Doctor Who is aimed for. After last night’s episode, the series finale, I decided to have a quick look at one or two fan sites to see what they said and was quite surprised at the amount of – well, [...]

Doctor Who and the Raiders of the Lost Planet
So then, Doctor Who. The Stolen Earth. Far be it for me to break a habit and speculate about next weeks season finale, I’m stuck on a train, going to be very late to work and have just watched selected highlights again on iPlayer. This is going to be spoilerific (in terms [...]
Time and relative dimensions in space
Dr Who Spoilers abound. Deal with it.
Do you know what I loved about the recent Doctor Who two parter that just about everyone loved? No? Well I’ll tell you. I like the fact that they actually made something of the fact that he was a time-traveller and that if you think [...]
Spoilers
So.
Stephen Moffat, not content with getting inundated with BAFTAs for his Doctor Who episode, “Blink“, is now gunning for one with part one of his latest two parter, “Silence in the Library” which, as seems to be the general consensus, is bloody brilliant. It’s just as simple an idea as Blink was [...]
Familiarity Breeds Contempt
I have a guilty secret – well, one of many. This one regards my occassional habit of watching Eastenders – not compulsively but enough to know who’s who and what’s going on. I can’t call it a guilty pleasure like, for example, shooting up with crystal meth might be although it’s probably just [...]
Don’t even blink!
I’ve just finished watching the Dr Who episode Blink that everyone’s been raving about. I didn’t get to see a vast majority (i.e. any) of the episodes when they first aired earlier this year on account of timey-wimey being all non-linear and wibbley-wobbley and stuff. Well, that and not having any television reception [...]
Pencils Down
You may have noticed over there ( –> ) that there’s a little badge I’ve put up. Good innit! Took me all fucking morning to make because I am that shit hot with graphics software. I digress.
The Writers Guild of America are on strike. You may have heard about this in [...]
Spooks vs 24
Or, more precisely, MI5’s Adam Carter vs CTU’s Jack Bauer.
FIGHT!
Actually, no contest – Jack Bauer would win, hands down. Unless it was a Sudoku play off in which case I’d back Adam Carter all the way. Crosswords too. Okay, so Adam is quite hard – he got infected with some biological weapon [...]
Holby Revisited
I watched the first episode of Holby City that I’ve seen in, ooh, months. Since about March probably. Two things I noticed:
The production values have gone up. Where the hell did they get all that lighting from? There’s shadows and everything. It actually didn’t look as much like a studio [...]
McSpaced
You may not have heard about the recent revelation in Variety that there’s been talk of doing a US version of the classic series “Spaced”, written by Simon Pegg and Jessica Stephenson (as was) and directed by Edgar Wright. Yes, it’s the same people who went on to make Shaun of the Dead and [...]
