This took me by surprise. Sounds interesting. [Note: This was a link to a story about Dollhouse. The link is dead now.]

Apparently, Pavarotti has asked for his ashes to be scattered in the Atlantic Ocean. And when that’s full…
We Can Be Heroes
If you’re one of those desperately untrendy people who still watches television on the terrestrial channels, then you won’t yet have seen Heroes. All that can change tonight as BBC Two are showing the first two episodes starting tonight at 9pm. Heroes is great. I mean, yes, it’s comic-book superhero stuff. And, yes, it’s largely… Continue reading We Can Be Heroes
Doctor Who News
On Saturday the third series of the revived (maybe “regenerated” is better) Doctor Who finished on BBC One. The last episode (capsule review – all a bit too silly for my tastes) ended with the Doctor alone in the TARDIS again as Martha Jones had decided to leave him and stay one Earth. Which all… Continue reading Doctor Who News
Back Garden Fence
Back Garden Fence This isn’t really what you want to see first thing in the morning. When I went to bed last night, this was a rather pretty tree stump and a garden fence that didn’t have a large hole burnt in it. We’re trying to find out what happened. And trying not to think… Continue reading Back Garden Fence
The Prestige
A couple of nights ago we watched The Prestige. It was a really well-made film with an excellent cast, but there was something about it that left me dissatisfied. After a couple of days thought I think I know what it is. The Prestige is a science fiction film. That’s not a problem at all.… Continue reading The Prestige
Love & Monsters Revisited
The success of this weekend’s Doctor Who story, “Blink“, has led to a number of comparisons with last season’s “doctor-light”[1] story, “Love and Monsters“. And I really don’t know why “Love and Monsters” comes off so badly in the comparison. It’s true that “Blink” is right up there as one of the best Doctor Who… Continue reading Love & Monsters Revisited
Blink
I haven’t been very impressed with this season of Doctor Who so far. Gridlock was ok and the recent two-parter (“Human Nature” and “The Family of Blood”) had some very interesting ideas which were spoilt by a horribly mawkish ending – but other than that it’s all been rather disappointing. But last night’s episode, “Blink”,… Continue reading Blink
Local News
The internet is a fabulous source of news. And it’s now becoming so ubiquitous that you can find out local things that you might never find out otherwise. Here’s a slightly sad example. Harry is a local celebrity. He’s never far from the bar of our local pub. He lives on our road and you… Continue reading Local News
Recognition
A couple of nights ago I watched Starter For 10 (entertaining enough, great 80s soundtrack, rather predictable plot). There was one actress in particular who I knew that I recognised, but I really couldn’t place her. I have that kind of mind. I know when I’ve seen someone before, but it can often take a… Continue reading Recognition
