I had word from a schoolfriend a while back, telling me that he was going to be moving to work in San Francisco, and wondering if I wanted his comic books. Obviously I said yes. We were both into Marvel Comics for a couple of years in the mid eighties, and I figured he would [...]

Things I expected to hate : Pretty much the whole thing.
Things I liked : Pretty much the whole thing.
I hated this episode from the moment I heard about it. I’ve been underwhelmed by everything Who that Gareth Roberts has penned, and James Corden has irritated me in everything, even Gavin & Stacey. Lastly, it was [...]

I was probably about five miles away from home, at a roundabout with two lanes from my direction, and two other exits. There was nobody on the roundabout, although there was a white van approaching the entrance on the right. But the car to the right of me decided it was safe to go, so [...]

Things I Liked : The bit where Van Gogh invites the Doctor and Amy to see what he sees, the sensitive side to the Doctor, the acting-its all about the acting. I even quite liked Bill Nighy.
Things I didn’t like : Did it really need the Athlete song at the end? We get it, we’re [...]

Things I Liked : The timey-wimey stuff, Stephen Jones as the Silurian boss, the similarities to the Pertwee era (the bubble, the Silurians), it wasn’t as bad as I expected for Chris Chibnall.
Things I didn’t like : The new Silurians lost a lot of their unique-ness.
As I said, it felt like a Pertwee story, even [...]

Have some Mew…

Things I Liked : Toby Jones as the Dream Lord. I enjoyed his smug superiority and taunting presence. Nobody knew him or his motives, adding to the mystery. Top dialogue as well, and its always good to see a gang of murderous OAPs.
Things I didn’t like : It fell a little flat for me. Was [...]

I don’t have much to say on the subject. I’ve felt since result night that we were going to end up with Cameron and Co. taking over at some point, and the only thing that really surprises me is how the Lib Dems let themselves be steamrollered by the promises of seats at the top [...]

Things I liked: Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, Helem McCrory.
Things I didn’t like: Toby Whithouse’s previous story was ‘School Reunion’ in Episode 2. The best bits about that episode were the return of Sarah-Jane Smith and K-9. This episode was more or less the same, set in Venice, but without Sarah-Jane and K-9. Completely underwhelming.

This week has probably been the most exciting and pivotal in modern politics.
I’m grateful to the BBC for broadcasting from Parliament Square. It’s meant I’ve managed to keep up with a lot of the broadcasts whilst also bus spotting with Lentil.

“Over to DowBUS!BUS!BUS!reet”
I forward a motion to put more buses [...]
