I feel a bit daft having only found this out today, but the voice of Gossip Girl is Kristen Bell – Veronica Mars herself and who’s now in Heroes and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. It was even announced before the show ever aired.
Doh.

Blake’s 7 coming back – to Sky One
How odd. Sky One has greenlit two scripts for a new series of Blake’s 7. Didn’t see that coming – at least, not on Sky One.
What do you all think of that, then? Good idea? Bad idea? Don’t care since it’s Sky One? Don’t care since it’s Blake’s 7? Don’t care because they never could make up their mind about that apostrophe or not?
