Confession time, I was on a TV viewing figures panel and I always said about 6 people were watching Who on a Saturday when it first started just cos I wanted the show to suceed (egardless of what i thought of it), even when it was just me and a mate or me on my todd. No checks and measures with these things :p

Bizarre. Still, I imagine every other programme gets the same treatment. Ultimately, Torchwood is OTT to new Who's Tiswas and the standard for judging Who and Hood should be Knight Rider and The A-Team - teatime telly faves of yore - rather than Blakes 7 or Dr Quatermass.

I assume you are now talking about tonight's episode , which was on while I was out winning the pub quiz.

The severed hand - whether it belongs to the Doctor or not - is clearly The Hand of Glory and I fully expect Grant Morrison to sure forthwith.

Who is Ian Levine?

Well, it was alright. Disappointingly we only got to see the first episode which was, naturally, mostly set up. The basic premise is pure Buffy, but there are some quite interesting ideas which may or may not be explored further as the series progresses.

My biggest problem with it is that the incidental music is intrusively loud. At times it was drowning out the dialogue, but this might just be because I was watching it in the pictures rather than on telly.

Basically, I'll watch it if I'm in, but I won't make a point of being in to watch it.

For the record, that is their car, but I didn't see any Daleks.

I've got a ticket going spare for a preview showing at The Quay in Glasgow tonight if anyone's interested.

Problem is, it's at 6:15 and they say you need photo ID, although I'm guessing a beard would be proof of age.

Post back here by half five if you want to go.

Will watch it if I'm in, but I'm not particularly looking forward to it. The new Dr Who hasn't done much for me and I thought Captain Jack was more of a comedy character so it's strange to see him getting his own series.

Series of films involving malicious dolls...

Might be an idea to widen your scope a bit to include classic thrillers if you're stuck...

Aye, sorry about the poor instructions. I'm up to thirty so far and the most groan-inducing clue by far is T** S**** S****.

The picture contains clues to the titles of fifty horror films. I reckon some of you guys will be able to name them all in no time flat.

I've still only got 26 out of 50.

Hi Mr Chicken. Are you willing to split them up or is it an all or nothing deal? I'm in Glasgow, so I could easily make it through to the dark side one night.

but the small press section is different in style, content, genre (and I'm sure someone will add quality) every time.

Correct. It runs the gamut from dreary, predictable pap to utter tripe. Yes, yes; Mr Amperduke was a good strip, but one out of eight is a pretty poor record in my view. The standard template has been good to servicable art coupled with poor to non-existent script and I - for one - really can't be bothered with it any more.

Cadet was excellent: a great, unannounced bonus beside Origins.

Fiends is not a story I have any great nostalgic feelings for, but my criticisms of the script would be best served by waitng until I can read it whole. The art, on the other hand, has been dire from the first page and shows no signs of improving. How can the same person draw Cadet?

The reprint and the revamp were fun. Nice to see Rufus doing something that isn't a straight impersonation of McMahon.

AN EVIL TWIN? WHAT THE HELL?

My latest guess is that Eustace is the evil twin, but this will be subject to revision next week no doubt.
