Who's coming

Don't worry - this isn't going to be a huge long-winded rant about my lack of visitors since i arrived here - more on that later in the year, i'm sure. Nope, this is something altogether different. Whilst watching TV on Friday night - the season finales of "Stargate: Atlantis" and "Battlestar Galactica" (both pretty good - the latter is very good indeed) - i was surprised by an advert for Doctor Who - the newer series, i should add - which is going to be shown on the sci-fi channel as of next Friday (I knew the show was going to be shown - just not 100% when exactly). Anyway, i was somewhat pleased - i very much enjoyed the show and am quite happy to watch them again (which, believe me, i will do) - even if it does mean sifting through so many adverts.

I'm also quite pleased that they are, for once, just buying the show rather than just 'reimagining it' for themselves as that all turned out so well last time!! My only hope is that the show is pretty successful - and from the sound of things, it may well be. There appear to be a lot of Who fans in and around my work - although whether they can palate the updated version instead of the old wobbly sets remains to be seen. I also hope they don't get misled by the ridiculous trailer (complete with ominous Hollywood-style deep voice) which, to be frank, gives away far too much information. But then i guess they had to have something to draw the target audience in - after all, i'm sure the words 'Smash hit British series' don't crop up on US TV too much. Anyway, for any readers interested in having my opinion on the shows as they watch them (very few i guess), feel free to wander along to the website www.greatlink.org - in the episode database are all the reviews i wrote last year. As for me, i'm going to be eagerly waiting to download Series 2 as soon as possible!
