Heroes will be back!

Sci-fi TV show Heroes will return for a fourth season! This is great news. Heroes and BSG are my two fave US tv shows at the moment :)

Got my deely boppers ready for next Friday...

...cos it's comic relief and I want to do something to show my support and to be honest I do not like the new red noses, they're bloody hideous!

Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways

The 2 part finale of season 1 of Doctor Who couldn't have started more light heartedly. With the Doctor inside the Big Brother house! Rose gets involved in The Weakest Link and then Captain Jack gets naked in front of billions of viewers (except sadly not any of the Doctor Who viewers). However things take a turn for the worse as it become apparent that game contestants are being murdered for the entertainment of the viewing audience. The shock revelation of the Dalek fleet and the Doctor's promise to rescue Rose and defeat the Daleks is perhaps the coolest moment of the year. The second part delivers on the first part Doctor's promise as he quickly rescues Rose and Jack kills a Dalek in the process. The Daleks attack and start massacaring everyone and the Doctor finds he cannot bring himself to annihilate his enemies. It's up to Rose to defeat them with the power of the universe inside of her head she turns the Daleks to dust and even brings Captain Jack back to life. The Doctor saves Rose but at the cost of his own life and Rose is forced to watch the Doctor burn with the fires of regeneration leaving a new man in the TARDIS, a new Doctor...

Red Dwarf Marathon pt. 12

all good things...well until Easter anyway...

Pete (Feature Length Version) 3/10 - It's a mishmas of about ten small ideas thrown together and sellotaped together to try and pretend to be an episode but the mess just doesn't work. The individual bits are good but the whole is not greater than the sum of its parts and the shambling monstocity is best forgotten. The Prisoners vs. Guards basketball match is the highlight of the episode and it occurs near the start so it gives you an idea how bad I thought the rest of the episode is.

Only The Good... 9/10 - Finally they manage to do something fresh and new with the new format and it's to get rid of it! The crew abandon Red Dwarf in droves and Rimmer goes to a mirror universe to find a cure to a virus that's eating the ship but ultimatley fails but the best bit is when he knees death in the groin! The rest of the episode is a delight too, the period gags Lister has Kryten play on Kochanski are outrageously funny. Kryten's revenge is good too and Cat trying to get himself hospitalised is brilliant. Why couldn't they write more episodes like this?

Aid agencies ousted as Bashir charged

Aid agencies including Oxfam GB and Save the Children UK have been expelled by Sudan following charges against President Omar al-Bashir. Oxfam confirmed its licence to work in the north of the country has been revoked and said it was appealing the decision. The expulsions follow a decision by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue an arrest warrant for al-Bashir on war crimes charges in Darfur.
