    [TV] Doctor Who

    Yeah, the sonic screwdriver has long been a lockpick/universal key. It didn't register with me as being out of place at all.

    Merlin (TV Series)

    Ah - I guess I didn't notice it because it's not that uncommon here, especially in London and other British cities. Certainly not uncommon enough to seem unusual to a British audience. Oh, and taking us back to Merlin, the only famous coffee commercial I can think of featured Anthony Head...

    Merlin (TV Series)

    Can't say I've noticed it in anything other than Merlin.

    Merlin (TV Series)

    You thought the dragon was badly cast? ;) Oh yes. She reminds me of Keira Knightley, but more... filled out :)

    Merlin (TV Series)

    I enjoyed S1 and S2. S3 isn't out in the UK yet. As you say, it's fun entertainment, as long as you don't worry about the huge liberties it takes with the legends (which aren't consistent with each other, anyway).

    [TV] Doctor Who

    Evidently yes :) Either that, or there are shopping expeditions that don't warrant a TV episode - Dr Who and the Next dimension, for example.

    [TV] Doctor Who

    I was under the impression that the interior of the TARDIS is massive, containing loads of rooms that we never see in the new DW episodes. I really liked Amy's choice. Good story & acting from everyone.

    What Are You Listening To?

    After seeing them live in a small, local venue, I'm getting into Duke Special. YouTube - Duke Special - Our Love Goes Deeper Than This This is what wikipedia says about him:

    [Trailer] Robin Hood

    Looks dreadful! But then I thought Gladiator was rubbish, too.

    Things you never did

    I went to a launch when I was in Florida on vacation, but the weather wasn't right, so it got cancelled. :( I regret not booking a supersonic flight on Concorde before they got grounded.

    [TV] Doctor Who

    It's a shame they used it in the trailers. I'd heard the line a dozen times before the show, so it lost it's impact (that and Graham bleedin' Norton!).

    What Do You Do That's Different From Normal?

    Road trip across Europe with a couple of buddies to a famous racing circuit, and drove our cars round it. :cool:

    [TV] Doctor Who

    Over 5,000 viewers have complained to the BBC. Lovely Aliens homage :) Time of Angels was my favourite episode so far. Ep 1 was pretty close. Ep 2 & 3 were a bit disappointing, to be honest (other than the khaki coloured daleks).

    Do you know of a great FLGS?

    Good shot - you got Travelling Man almost exactly right! Forbidden Planet is on the same side of the road as Travelling Man, heading NNE about half way up to the cross-roads. They're both within view of each other, so exact placement isn't critical ;) Thanks.

    Do you know of a great FLGS?

    Hey Russ, there seem to be a problem with each of these. Seems to be with the mapping. I can see the entry for Forbidden Planet Newcastle on the list of shops, but it's not appearing on the map. Travelling Man is in the wrong place on the map - it's shown right in the middle of St James'...

    Whereas the cynic in me thinks it's so that they can sell new dalek toys to children and Morrus ;)

    Out of curiosity, I checked the size of my D6 Star Wars (2nd edition) book, and it's 168 pages long...

    Doctor Who - Victory of the Daleks - spoilers

    Yep - in Genesis of the Daleks he has the opportunity to wipe out the whole Dalek race, but can't bring himself to commit genocide. The role of the companion has traditionally been to represent the viewer. They give the writers the excuse for the Doctor to explain things to us via the...
