Well, I’m back. Happy New Year and I hope you all had a great holiday/vacation. You may have noticed that I did a little bit of blogging over the Christmas period, although not much, but with current work commitments being what they are, I probably won’t have too much time to start blogging properly until Wednesday. Hell, you’re probably all going to be too sleepy until then anyway.
Coming on Wednesday
I’ll probably have at least mini-reviews of Gavin & Stacey, The 39 Steps and The Next Doctor to put up by then, as well as possibly of the first episode of absolute drek-fest (allegedly) Demons, Jonathan Creek and maybe Above Suspicion and Crooked House, with potentially even a season finale of The Border to muse over. Or I might not. And assuming I can get my arse down the gym enough, there should be some more Big Finishes to mull over as well – although there may never be enough time in the day to listen to those wretched stage play adaptations.
Reader survey results
Not so many responses in the reader survey this year and most of what was said was “keep up the (good) work”, so I’m assuming everything’s sunny and rosy here and not much needs to change. Okey doke. Either that or you’ve all buggered off somewhere and I’m talking to myself again. Ho hum.
However, 12.5% of all respondents – clearly all with exquisite taste – requested more pictures of Ali Larter – okey doke again. Happy to oblige.
Jane Henry suggested we have a new feature on Richard Armitage. Now, I really can’t be arsed to go ferreting for Richard Armitage pictures, so I’d need a blog quorum (ie two other people) to back her up on that and promise to faithfully look for Richard Armitage pictures.
On the other hand, for the sake of symmetry, if we’re to have a male equivalent of Random Ali Larter Pictures (or maybe I should retitle that Random Acts of Ali Larter?), it should probably be a US/Canadian actor who gets a look in this time. Any suggestions? I’ll need a quorum.
Today’s questions
- What was the most depressing thing you saw or heard on television over the Christmas period? Mine was hearing the Big Brother theme tune and thinking to myself, “Oh surely not.” You?
- Lastly, and hopefully I won’t need to do too much prompting, anyone got any pictures of David Tennant sitting down or in a reclining position?
One of the greatest of all Doctor Who writers was Robert Holmes. Creator (to varying degrees) of the Autons, the Master, the Sontarans, virtually everything to do with the Time Lords and sundry other Doctor Who arkana, he also wrote perhaps the best ever story, Caves of Androzani; no lesser person than Russell T Davies thinks he wrote some of the best dialogue in British television history.
