So… spoilers and my broken incoherent thoughts for the superlative and rather emotional The Big Bang – don’t read if you haven’t seen it! Ok, nit-picking out of the way: It’s often said that for two-parter episodes, the first part is much better than the second, simply because the second part has to wrap up

Spoilers ahead, if you haven’t seen the frankly epic fantabulous episode that was The Pandorica Opens… OMG. OMG. OMG. Brain still can’t process anything more than incoherent thoughts just yet: – Best opening ever. Characters from previous episodes leading everyone on a merry goosechase. Although how did River Song from the 51st Century end up

Until recently, I could safely say that I wasn’t that posh – aside from when my bizarrely-posh telephone voice makes an appearance – according to the Daily Mail, because I only ticked two of their ten boxes, to whit: – shopping at Waitrose (and that’s only because it’s the nearest food supermarket to me) -

It’s amazing what you can cut together with rushes of interviews… (The BBC documentary that was actually made partly from these rushes is The Virtual Revolution, presented by the divine Dr. Aleks Krotoski, Saturdays at 8.30pm on BBC Two) Incidentally, it’s nice to know that I have finally achieved my ambition to have my name

It was all Geoff‘s idea, Yer Honour… Y’see, he’d recently come back to the BBC after two years in America fraternising with our American cousins – and even worse, American ACTORS. And it had all rubbed off a bit on him. The endless video posts, the sheer confidence in walking up to strangers – and

The fab EPIC trailer for the new series of Doctor Who, Spring 2010. The trailer’s not pathetic. I am. because: There were tears in my eye at the LOGO. The fricking LOGO. Thanks to new BBC technologies, I can now finally embed a bit of Doctor Who content on my website. There’s absolutely no need

Wow. Just Wow. Definitely a programme for the fans – as, in many ways, it ought to be. Although even for the fans, the writing was marvellous. It fooled me, feigning a left hook then throwing a right punch. And the way that Matt Smith turned out to be a bad dream… Fortunately, I think

stumbling across Edinburgh’s Hogmanay celebrations with my mates including Sheff01, watching a couple of Turkish guys begging every woman around them for a kiss, and not getting any. Then again, I wasn’t getting any kisses either. The best moment though, was coming up to the police barriers – due to sheer numbers, you had to
