Just saw another great show at the Tricycle theatre (do they ever disappoint??) featuring Marc Salem – the US equivalent of Derren Brown – and Mind Games. Great stuff, and incredibly spooky, but it’s always fun when you can spot his little directions and manipulations. Go see!

Woo hoo!

The Daleks will be back in the new series of Doctor Who, due to be broadcast next year (around March 2005)

Yes, I know they weren’t going to be, but now all the issues have been resolved. I can’t wait!

Don’t believe me? Check out BBC NEWS

Hopefully now people won’t ask what on earth the title of this blog means either.

Got it today (yes, day of release!) from HMV. Now that’s what I call top quality TV – so many favourite episodes. And of course it means I won’t have to endure Channel 4 to watch The Simpsons (Seasons 1 -4) on DVD. So there!

(Prediction – Channel 4 will destroy The Simpsons the same way they killed Futurama and The West Wing: incompetent scheduling)

“Mr. Plow, yes Mr. Plow, that name again is Mr. Plow!”

And very nice it was too – especially since there was a full moon party last night with fireworks. It’s good to lie on the beach and not have to worry about whether the latest Microsoft Windows Update will destroy your machine (I got to do that when I got home) but just relax. Oh, and kids: the sea is dangerous. Yeah, maybe I did swim just a little too far out… [gulp]

Not only did the latest Microsoft Update install fine on all three PCs when I got home, but I also found out my Pace Twin managed to record The Prisoner from BBC FOUR OK. I love technology when it works.

Sun! Sea! Sand! Bournemouth!

I had just been tipped off about BBCi’s new look on Freeview, a much nicer, prettier interface for their digital text services. And then it turns out that my road is on fire. Or, it could be a bit further away, we’re not sure. But wow, big flames – the whole family was watching from the attic window. (It’s like a big family ‘come together in times of pretend crisis’ time.)

And then the fire engines came and put it out. So now it’s back to BBCi.
