Twelfth incarnation

Browsing idly this afternoon I read Stephen Fry lambasting the state of telly. He’s right I suppose. I’ve got satellite, if I had the energy I could scour the schedules and line up almost constant interesting and/or edifying programming.

Anyway, this is the picture they used to illustrate article – he’s an absolute natural for Dr Who isn’t he?

Countdown Conundrum

I've just seen Countdown without Richard Whiteley or Carol Vordermann for the first time. How weird. End of an era. I've no idea who the new people are at all, though the girl doing the letters seems to be Gwyneth Paltrow. It's like switching the telly on to find it showing a foreign channel or something. At least whatshername's still in Dictionary Corner.
