The Wikipedia page on Torchwood, Children of Earth, summarises Day Five thus: It is revealed that the 456 abuses the chemicals in children as a type of drug and that the whole operation is basically drug trade. While the government prepares the children, Frobisher places Jack into custody while Gwen and Rhys are escorted back […]

One in ten

Plenty to say about this week’s Torchwood marathon, but I think I’ll wait until the last episode. I’m dying to see what sort of deus ex machina they have to rely on to get out of it all. One thing though: passwords. I do believe that some people are stupid enough to give a newcomer […]
The Coulson Caper
July 9th, 2009 · Comments Off on The Coulson Caper · Politics
Whatever the rights and wrongs, and whatever really happened, I suspect the Tories will escape from all this. Unless… …it turns out that Joanna Lumley’s phone was tapped. In no time she would be button-holing the DPP and getting him to change his mind.

Question time

I normally avoid BBC’s Question Time, but I may make an exception tonight: Jarvis Cocker is on the panel. I wonder if he will get a question about Michael Jackson…

Benn says blog
July 2nd, 2009 · Comments Off on Benn says blog · Politics
Tony Benn said lots of things last night. There were observations, reminiscences, aspirations, explanations, theories, jokes, and so on, but unlike most politicians he did not give out instructions. Maybe that is what makes him different.  Anyway, one of the few specific pieces of advice was to blog.  He said that he intends to […]

Meeting Tony Benn
July 1st, 2009 · Comments Off on Meeting Tony Benn · Politics
Today I went down to Worthing for ‘an evening with Tony Benn’.  This was a fundraiser for his grandaughter, Emily, who is the parliamentary candidate down there, and a very pleasant evening it was too.
