  • Attitude Overload

    Last night I got caught in the sort of traffic jam that you never want to see at the end of the day. The sort of jam where you’re moving so infrequently you could safely go for a short walk without worrying about interfering with the flow of traffic. So, as I had reached a…

  • Abandoned

    I watched part of the documentary on the Bulgarian care home in Mogilino. I was shocked. I could hardly bring myself to look at the screen, watching children – malnourished and wretched – rocking silently. The scene of small boys left to sit on potties all day, because it’s easier that way. A boy, blind…

  • Time Crash

    Having spent a week or more waiting for this damned thing, I managed to unceremoniously miss it completely – and then sat grumbling to myself about how frankly stupid I must be. Still, the Internet lives up to expectations, so not only can you access it on the official BBC site, you can also find…

  • Crash Countdown

    I’m getting all excited about this evening now… so much so that I’m writing this entry when I really don’t have much to say. All these pictures of Peter and David simply make the whole wait nearly too much to handle… but, I’m sure I’ll struggle through somehow and will have the recorder ready to…

  • Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane?

    Watched this yesterday – and I’m still loving the series. Yes, all that Combat 3000 stuff wasn’t up to the previous standard, but this episode… Jane Asher seems like a bizarrely suitable fit for Sarah’s ‘replacement’ in the timeline – even though Jane is almost two years older. I definitely think Liz Sladen has weathered…

  • Razor Played

    I wish the world of entertainment and legality didn’t make teasers and sneak previews so hard to watch most of the time. I’m excited about Battlestar and the prequel movie Razor, so when I noticed a sneak peek at the pre-Razor story about Adama, I clicked on through for a look. I sat through trash…

  • Omega Complex

    Bolstered into some kind of extra writing effort, I have now updated the software and theme of my PARANOIA blog, Omega Complex. It looks rather neat, if I must say so myself. I’m especially impressed by the excellent Dynamic Text Replacement script used to give the site all those fancy titles. The script takes basic…

  • Between The Lines

    You can discover an excellent new addition on the BBC Doctor Who website – in the form of some fine pictures to colour in. The set includes individual characters – like the Doctor and Martha – as well as a couple of hectic action scenes that should keep the children (and open-minded adults) engaged for…

  • Colour Complexities

    This article picks up on an issue I have noted before – the trademarking of colours. It would seem T-Mobile has claimed magenta, within the confines of the tele-communication industry, while my previous bugbear on this relates to the Post Office’s trademark of an admittedly very specific shade of the colour red (presumably within whatever…
