New series of Dr. Who starts this Saturday - 7:30pm Ch2.
From what I’ve read, it gets really good reviews in the UK - so I’m looking forward to it.

Went to see HHGTTG on the weekend - went in with pretty low expectations (the adverts we had seen looked pretty lame). Was actually pleasantly surprised.
