Bigotry United
The eminently sensible Sexual Orientation Regulations will be debated in the House of Lords today. I strongly suspect that the bill will be passed but the homophobes and bigots are apparently organising a last-minute protest. Let’s get one thing perfectly clear here. Any christian who says that they object to this law on religious grounds… Continue reading Bigotry United
Doctor When?
Doctor Who Logo I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that March 31st was looking like the date that the new series of Doctor Who was going to start. The Radio Times web site has listings for the next two weeks, so by now it should have the programme listed. And yesterday it was definitely… Continue reading Doctor When?

And Finally…
Kudos to the Guardian‘s Rosie Swash for pointing out that sexism is alive and well in the music industry. And finally, good news for Kate Thornton during this most difficult of weeks. She may have been axed from prime-time TV, but she can be comforted by the knowledge that Louis Walsh thinks her breasts are… Continue reading And Finally…
Gareth Hunt RIP
The New Avengers The BBC are reporting that Gareth Hunt has died of pancreatic cancer. He was 65. He’s on the right of the picture. This is, of course, very sad. But some good can come out if it if one of the UK TV channels uses it as an excuse to repeat The New… Continue reading Gareth Hunt RIP
