During 2006 I seem to have acquired the telly-watching habit.
Don't worry, so far I still remember how to switch it off and frequently
am disgusted enough to do so too.
Lost and Doctor Who have been good, although ABC's decision to halt
suspend season 3 of Lost until February, after just 3 episodes, is utter

I cried buckets at the end of Torchwood. That doesn't mean it's good,
just that I'm soft as shite, but I did enjoy these two episodes best of
all. I haven't watched the Sarah Jane Adventures yet. I was in Whitby
when the first one aired. Now I'm not sure I want to.

The whole series is vaguely disappointing. It promises much, but fails
to deliver. Also, it seems to have an unhealthy obsession with death.
But I keep watching it.

K9 was featured for about one minute, purely in explanation of why he
wasn't there with SJ. He's not featuring in the series proper when it
starts, apparently he's orf on the other side of the universe being used
to plug a black hole or something ...

Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are
putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it.

That sounds very sensible.

Heh heh. Child is well in to Dr Who ATM, so we got him two radio
controlled Daleks for Puevfgznf :-) They are great fun, and arrive with
a Dr Who figure. Even better, I found a Tardis full of jelly beans -
the beans are long gone, and the Tardis is just the right size for the
Dr.
