Two weeks until the new series of Doctor Who: let the compulsions commence. How will everyone cope until then? Well, the first of the TARDISodes is now available, you lucky people. This one you can view for free online, but the normal ones cost 10-15p. No DT in this one, but both he and Billie will appear in the later ones.
This one seemed quite short. Wonder if that’s the normal length or as much as the Beeb are willing to give away for free for now.
Some didn’t believe me, I know. But David Tennant is a big Doctor Who fan. Now here’s some corroboration.
Witness for the prosecution: the fact he knows that the Doctor’s home world, Gallifrey, is in the constellation of Kasterborous. I am vindicated.
PS Can you see the tumbleweeds blowing through where my life should be?
UPDATE: Ha! More proof.
Weird. David Kelley, producer and creator of Ally McBeal, has bought the rights to make a US version of Life on Mars for ABC. In fact, if he doesn’t, ABC will have the right to sue him.
Can’t imagine how that’s going to work out.
I’ve been “radio silent” for the last few days. Judging from the fact I used the phrase “radio silent”, you might have thought I’ve been enjoying myself watching some gung-ho escapism like The Unit. You’d have been wrong. I’ve been watching the four DVD set of The Adventurer, prior to its release on Monday.
I’m not exactly sure what I did to deserve that particular fate. Like Earl in My Name is Earl, clearly I’m balancing out some particularly evil act in a former life – I’m hoping it was in a former life, because otherwise there’s an act of genocide from my 20s I’ve repressed and you’d don’t want to be bottling that kind of thing up.
Anyway, 26 half-hour episodes of quite some of the worst early 70s television later and I’m ready to rejoin the living again. You can read my review after the break, if you want. I’m going to be out and about most of next week, so I probably won’t be blogging much, but you never know.
Hot on the heels of yesterday’s Wonder Stuff cat news comes an update: a more permanent tribute to Susan that really leaves a mark. Shudder.
