Eternal-Summer-cover.jpgTime for part two of the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa Stockbridge trilogy that Big Finish has been running. As you may recall from the 1980s (chances are – probably not), Stockbridge featured heavily in the DWM comic strip and – surprise, surprise, given the company’s motto is “No piece of continuity knowingly left unmined” – Big Finish has decided to set three Fifth Doctor stories in Stockbridge of the past, present and future.

Episode one, The Castle of Fear, ended on a cliffhanger and episode two, The Eternal Summer, more or less carries right on – except it doesn’t.

Burn Notice – Season 3.5 promos, including a Cagney and Lacey reunion

Burn Notice 3.5

In the weird world of the USA Network, some shows don’t have seasons – they have half-seasons. Burn Notice is currently in the middle of its third season, but because the gap since the last episode has been so long, on January 21st it’s due to start “season 3.5”. Yes, that’s a half-season.

So after the jump, some exciting promos to thrill you all. This half-season is going to have guest appearances from Tyne Daly, Clayne Crawford, Chris Vance, Danny Trejo, Jason Vargas, Spencer Garrett, Tim Matheson, Seth Peterson, Rick Kelly, Carlos Bernard, Garret Dillahunt and more, but no firm details yet (as you might expect) on any of the plots, unfortunately.

And yes, that means a Cagney and Lacey reunion. See?

Everyone watch Gavin & Stacey over Christmas? Good, that’s what I like to hear. As a reward, here’s a picture of Joanna Page from FHM as well as a pic of her as Cinderella – she’s been doing panto over Christmas, too, and giving advice to Pamela Anderson on the subject, too.

After the jump, her recent chat with Paul O’Grady on his chat show. Happy New Year to you all!

The CSI attitude to sex

6 January 2010 Rob Buckley Post a comment

Via a friend of a friend, here’s the CSI attitude to sex. What do you think – accurate?

CSI Las Vegas: “Hey, so long as they’re two consenting adults, it’s all good.”

CSI Miami: “Anything but missionary style sex between a man and a woman is wrong.”

CSI New York: “If they’re NEW YORKERS we’ll let them slide.”
