New Planet – Doctor Who
I’ve just put Planet Doctor Who live. It aggregates stuff that it can find about Doctor Who (and Torchwood). If you can recommend good RSS feeds that it should include, then please let me know. Obviously it has web feeds. Choose from RSS or Atom. Oh, and there’s also an OPML file.
Planet Earth
Writing in yesterday’s Times, A A Gill put his finger on a problem that has been bothering me about the BBC’s latest wildlife extravaganza – Planet Earth. For a science programme, it has very little science in it. The factual content is now virtually nil, just scene-setting and needless telling you what you’re seeing. There… Continue reading Planet Earth
Torchwood – Cyberwoman
I thought that last week’s episode of Torchwood was a bit better than the first two, but with this week’s episode, Cyberwoman, the quality plunged again. The pitch probably went something like this: “We’ll have an attractive young woman wandering around with Cyberman technology covering as little of her body as we can get away… Continue reading Torchwood – Cyberwoman
Torchwood
Last night the BBC showed the first two episodes of Torchwood, its new Doctor Who spin-off. What did we think? Well, the word that mostly springs to mind is “derivative”. The whole idea of group of strange people investigating even stranger goings on looks a lot like Angel, the secret hideaway secreted behind a normal-looking… Continue reading Torchwood

Segments between programmes from 7 October will feature kites,… Continue reading Media Bias
thirtysomething on More 4
This is why I love multi-channel TV. If you wait long enough everything gets repeated. I didn’t watch thirtysomething when it was first broadcast in the late 1980s (I was in a “I’m too cool to watch television” phase and didn’t even own a TV for a few years about then) but people whose opinion… Continue reading thirtysomething on More 4

This autumn on BBC THREE sees a season of bold, contemporary programmes with Torchwood, the new drama from writer Russell T Davies, as its centrepiece. Starring John Barrowman and Eve Myles, Torchwood is a sci-fi crime thriller which… Continue reading Torchwood Press Release
EuroOSCON on the BBC
This week’s edition of the BBC programme Click Online contains a report about EuroOSCON. The transcript is here and the Real Audio stream is here. The programme is repeated a number of times on various BBC channels (mainly News 24) over the next couple of days. It’s the first report in the programme, but its… Continue reading EuroOSCON on the BBC
mightyv.com
A couple of my friends have won the first BBC Backstage competition with their web site mightyv.com (that’s a pun on “mighty tv” and “my tv”). It’s a great site and you should all take a look at it (assuming that the server can cope with the strain of all the publicity it’s currently getting).… Continue reading mightyv.com
