Gah. got to go Sainsburys to stock up for tomorrow - suitable food. Also have to get up for 6-ish since the new Wind in the Willows adaptation. Mark Gatiss! Lee Ingleby! Matt Lucas! BOB HOSKINS AS BADGER! WIND IN THE BLOODY WILLOWS, PEOPLE!

...Seriously, what is it about this book that makes grown adults go 'squee! Where? Gimme!'

And then stay awake and compos mentis for Torchwood. :gibber: Plesae, please, please let me keep my Jack/Ianto hopes alive for next season.

Yesterday was pubmeet, where there was much Robin Hood squee from the people who'd been watching it regularly and then having to tell everyone else who'd given up after a couple of eps that it's actually turned into something *good*. No, really. Also, the awesomeness of the Sheriff. One guy who had been watching it missed last week so was getting a quick run-down of what happened last week, so we went 'well... wedding date been set, Marian gets stabbed by Gisburne, traitor surgeon, she apparently dies - oh, and Will and Allan are thinking about going to Scarborough for their honeymoon.' Everyone else who'd been watching it nodded in agreement. And then we got into a debate on if anyone was actually straight in this show. We came up with Marian, John and Djaq being completely straight, with Gisburne and Robin being vaguely straight but not averse to man-loving.

I hadn't heard this, but apparently even ITV refers to the 7pm slot as 'Dr Who time', and have given up all hopes of competing against it, admitting that they bloody watch or record it themselves.

Oh, and news - BBC are developing a new project for the Dr Who slot to fill one of the gaps between Robin Hood and Dr Who. It's going to be their own take on Merlin, same way as they did for Robin Hood - completely original, no specific books or legends. Be interesting to see how it turns out. Plus apparently the Blake's Seven radio whatsit is beyond awesome. Plus Craig Kelly is pouting a lot over the fact that Russell hasn't asked him to be in Dr Who yet - his brother's got to play Shakespeare in S3, and he hasn't even been asked. Thinkies is possibly because in QAF he basically played *Russell*, so... Oh, go on, Russell, be nice to Craig. The Doctor needs a male assistant. There's Torchwood!

OMG I so want Craig to appear! I'm still shocked about Catherine not being the new companion, sillysilly me.

Question: I never bothered with Robin Hood because I loved him so much as a child and teen, didn't like any of the films,and the series didn't interest me at all. So which one episode would you rec as the highlight (now that I saw him in the Vicar ...)?

You'd think 'the tv' wouldn't be one of the top things I miss about living over there. But you'd be wrong.

I MISS THE TV SO MUCH. *WHINES*
