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.

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.

I’m now four sevenths of the way through Buffy the Vampire Slayer, so I’m taking advantage of the Play.com sale, and have ordered all five seasons of Angel for £9.99 each. That should see me through until the summer.

A familiar voice crops up on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it’s Dolores Landingham (Kathryn Joosten), albeit looking somewhat different.

After some 17 weeks, I’ve finally finished watching The Sopranos on More4 where they’ve been showing it every weekday night. Having watched the last episode I must say it came as something of an anticlimax, it’s almost as if they ran out of tape and didn’t bother recording the last few seconds of the episode. I’m left with no feeling of closure.
