Ah… this poor, neglected blog o’ mine. I simply have not been inspired to write anything here lately. It’s not for lack of watching TV because my Sky planner and DVD shelves remain full of watched and unwatched material waiting for a rainy day. Having said that, even the rainy days, of which we have endured plenty, aren’t motivating me either. Promises have been broken previously when I have vowed to regale you with

Comics Brittanica Continuing to Entertain
Friday nights are undoubtedly back to being the definitive “staying in night” of the week. Of course, this meant that last Friday we went out to see some friends for dinner and had to postpone our viewing until Saturday but it was worth the wait.

Plenty in the pipeline then. Meanwhile, The Other Viewer and I had one of those lazy Friday nights on the sofa yesterday and there was a fair amount

Stephen Fry And Sister Discuss His Condition
It takes some quite remarkable courage to not only delve deep into your own personality and history, and then cast a critical eye over how an ailment like manic depression has affected you, but to undergo this soul-searching in front of a camera and give the populace that insight too is quite some feat.

I'm more excited than a 38 year-old should be about the announcement of the new Doctor Who tomorrow, BBC1, 5:35pm. Be there. Or be elsewhere
