My icon expresses how keen I am to watch next week's installment.

It's entirely possible that I am far too easy for River Song but I loved that. Loooooved it. My inner ten-year-old is petrified every time there is some movement in my peripheral vision or a mote swimming across my eyeball. There are, as ever, caveats... but IS IT NEXT WEEK YET? ( Read more... )

(1) THE HORROR, THE HORROR.

(2) I just saw the trailer for this. Idris Elba, Ruth Wilson, Indira Varma, Steven Mackintosh and Paul McGann in a dark story of murder? Kindly sign me up.

It is February, which is sort of a long, low fart of a month unless your birthday happens to fall in it. It's too cold and/or wet to do much, you're still skint from the holiday period and so is everyone else, and all that remains is to wait until spring is sprung and people cheer up ( Read more... )
