During the week I have been working my was through the box set of season 2 of Doctor Who, the first David Tennant season. I think that any nerds reading will know where this is going! Today I watched the episode which was set in 2012 (Fear Her), where the Doctor and Rose arrive in […]

No more Confidential
September 28th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Life
According to the Guardian, the BBC is going to scrap Doctor Who Confidential to save costs. Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. I would have thought it was a fairly cheap way to fill that much airtime, and bulk out the DVD releases that make so much cash for the BBC. I think […]
Down at the Doctors

Yes, yes, all very exciting: a rejuventated Doctor, a renovated Tardis, and a shiney new companion with the promise of more Daleks, Cybermen and Crying Angels in future episodes, but…
The dark side of Doctor Who?

I saw this on Monday on the Guardian’s twitter feed, totally misread it and then went to all the trouble of making a screen capture and forgot to do anything with it. Here it is, better late than never…
Election disaster
June 7th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Life, Politics
As the general election draws ever nearer, a new contender gains popularity. He is young and charismatic and everybody seems to like him, although they don’t quite know why and don’t really know what he stands for.  After his landslide victory he says “this country has been sick. This country needs healing. This country needs […]
Back pain

I see that David Tennant is now back on stage after having surgery for a slipped disc, but I am not at all surprised that he had back trouble after watching the Doctor Who Confidential programme that was on after the Christmas special. In that programme we saw him being dragged along the floor of […]

Prince Charles having a small part in Doctor Who is an interesting idea. But how much more fun to give him the main part when Tennant moves on… DOCTOR: So you’re a Dalek are you? And what do you do? DALEK: Exterminate!
Amused to death
September 2nd, 2008 · 2 Comments · Life
British comedy has had a bad week with the death of Ken Campbell following very soon after that of Geoffrey Perkins. If it was possible to measure such things objectively I think you would find the world is now several percentage points less funny than it was last week.

Can’t decide whether I was more surprised by the end of today’s Dr. Who or the start of Jay-Z’s set at Glastonbury, but I know which one gave me a bigger laugh.

RTD OBE
June 14th, 2008 · Comments Off on RTD OBE · Life
I don’t have a lot of time for the whole honours system, which is why I could never work out why anyone would even think of paying cash for one, but while we still have it why not throw one in the direction of Russel T Davies? Makes a change from the usual roll-call of […]
