One of the shows I’ve been looking forward to seeing this year is the BBC’s new version of Robin Hood.

The Web Planet

I took the family to Boston Market yesterday for lunch.As far as I’m concerned, BM chicken is not bad, but nothing particularly fantastic, and their stuffing has too many crisp chunks of celery and carrot in it for my taste.

It’s not very good, but it is Sylvester McCoy’s swan song.

Forget that embarrassment with Will Smith and the giant spider, the Wild, Wild West has finally made its triumphant debut on DVD, with the release of the 40th Anniversary edition of the first season of WWW.

This week’s Doctor Who really delivered – if not a great story at least an exciting one.

The final two-part story of the series has begun and, as we’ve known for a long time, the Cybermen are invading Earth, but they’re doing it very, very slowly, which is what can be said for this episode, too.

I had wondered how they ever managed to afford the obviously hyper-expensive Impossible Planet/Satan Pit episodes (especially after spending all the money on the horse in The Girl in the Fireplace) and this episode helps answer that question: This and the previous Love & Monsters were two cheapo episodes.

OK, I have to admit, yesterday when I posted my initial reaction to Love & Monsters I was still in shock.
