I’m not sure I’ve even got that much time, but if you want to watch season 2 of Game of Thrones and haven’t seen season 1 yet, this is probably the quickest way of catching up.

Jason Isaacs says ‘Hello’ to Wittertainment
As you may know, Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo say ‘Hello’ to Jason Isaacs every Friday on their Radio 5 Live movie review show(as does Google UK and Jay Leno). The challenge to Jason Isaacs was to say ‘Hello’ back on his new NBC TV show Awake. A code word was to be included in an episode to let them know he’s listening, and that word was ‘Ukelele’.
That word has now been said.
And while we’re about it, here’s Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode sorting out the burning issue of whether Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy was about spies or not – with swords.
Weekly Wonder Woman
Review: Wonder Woman #7/Justice League #6, 7
Let’s start off this review by first saying, "Welcome back, Cliff Chiang!"
Welcome back, Cliff Chiang!
After two issues of rather a poor fill-in artist, it’s great to have Cliff back. I tell you what’s also great to have back: action. Yes, issue #7 of Wonder Woman actually has things happen in it – the cover is actually less action-packed than the contents for once.
In fact, issue #7 is probably the best issue of the title since the reboot. But (and you knew there’d be one), it’s also got one great big middle finger sticking up at both long-time fans and Wonder Woman’s creator, William Marston, right in the centre. We’ll talk about that after the jump.
We’ll also talk about Justice League #6, 7, which have both come out since the last review and paradoxically are a lot more like old school Wonder Woman than her own title is right now. In fact, as well as the glorious return of Captain Steve Trevor, we also have the new-look Etta Candy. And Captain Marvel – aka Shazam, but we don’t care about him. See you in a bit.

Got a picture of David Tennant sitting, lying down or in some indeterminate state in between? Then leave a link to it below or email me and if it’s judged suitable and doesn’t obviously infringe copyright, it will appear in the “Sitting Tennant” gallery. Don’t forget to include your name in the filename so I don’t get mixed up about who sent it to me.
The best pic in the stash each week will appear on Tuesday and get ten points; the runners up will appear on Friday (one per person who sends one in) and get five points.
Each month, I’ll name the best picture provider and then at the end of the year, the overall champion will be announced for 2012!
