Crikey! Russell T sure knows how to have a good time. Seriously good episode from a fanboy point of view. Can you really fault it? The Doctor, Sarah Jane, Torchwood… even Harriet Jones makes a heroic return as the core of the resistance, the head of the Doctor’s Army. The episode made sly references to…
While I won’t yet write-up my overall view of ‘Turn Left’ (because I still have a lot of catching up to do), I enjoyed the nod at continuity when the Doctor referred to the beetle as one of the Trickster’s lot. The Trickster was the excellent villain from the ‘Sarah Jane Adventures’ episode ‘Whatever Happened…
I’m in the mood for t-shirts… so, I’ve taken the plunge and opened my own Cafepress store, with fine apparel and the odd mug here and there. After recreating my Doctor Who ‘Blink‘ tribute, I’ve now added a nod to the discerning ornithologist who does like the gannet, the nut hatch, or the robin.

In the distant past, Channel 4 provided an oasis of incredible alternative comedy that turned heads and raised smiles. In those days Vic and Bob were having a Big Night Out, Frank Skinner resided in My Blue Heaven, Robert Lindsey was funny in Nightingales and in the wee small hours of the late evening we…
I witnessed another fine example of middle lane madness today, something I see every single day in all honesty. It erks me most when drivers do it so blatantly, sitting in the overtaking lanes for junction after junction with hardly an obstruction to overtake in sight. It stinks – an act of utter laziness that…
Sometimes you can’t keep a good post down. And, OK… this one definitely comes from an old post from the older than old version of Boreders. That promise of Summer in the not too distant future reminded me I had this lying around. The question I had to ask myself was – what if Molly…
Charlotte Green had a fit of the giggles this morning on the 8am bulletin for the Today programme. I listened, with a smile spreading across my face, as I drove into work. This little moments make that commute all the more bearable. Dear Charlotte Green reported the news of an American researcher team who have…
