Life in the Bus Lane

ITV4 have just had a trailer for their Tour de France coverage stating that the coverage “continues tonight at 7″. In case they haven’t noticed, it’s already somewhere past 8.

Donna Noble is gone!!!!!!!

Yes, it’s Catherine Tate on Doctor Who again, bringing us some of the worst acting ever seen on television.

I didn’t think it was possible, but Catherine Tate was even worse this week. Well done BBC for ruining a once-good television series with one misjudged casting decision.

She’s ruined it.

My Tivo decided not to change channel properly at 18:20 to record the start of the new series of Doctor Who, presumably a gnat farted nearby and deflected the infra-red beams away from the Sky digibox, I only noticed it had failed about 20 minutes later when I paused the DVD I was watching to check everything was recording properly. Several new swear words were invented when I was greeted by Harry Hill rather than David Tennant.

Fortunately I can now watch if on the laptop, and if it’s any good watch it again tomorrow night on the big telly.

Spacey to host ‘I am Keyser Soze’ on BBC1

Seven seasons watched in five weeks, partly thanks to a long easter weekend and a bout of flu. All finished off with the realisation that season 7 is absolutely dire, and season 6 isn’t that much better.

Thursday was Father’s 60th birthday, so we celebrated with dinner at Casanis in town, the food was superb, highly recommended. Friday I finished season 5 of Buffy and started season 6. Saturday was Alex’s birthday, I declined an invite out for a curry to celebrate that and watched more No Country for Old Men, and lots more Buffy. Today is easter Sunday, and for a change we went for lunch in Bar Ha! Ha! in town, then up to Mum and Dads for the obligatory easter egg hunt.

Another familiar voice crops up on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, last time it was Kathryn Joosten who played Dolores Landingham, this time it’s Kirsten Nelson who played the young Dolores Landingham in one episode of The West Wing.
