What's he on about now?

In case the articles, essays and opinions throughtout this site just weren't enough for you, here's my online diary (a.k.a. 'blog'). It's as close as you'll come to the inside of my head, so don't say I didn't warn you

28 WEEKS LATER...

Thanks to all of you who love your geek pal enough to have passed along the BBC press release on Christopher Eccleston. The -- shall we say -- intense star of "Shallow Grave" and "28 Days Later" has been cast as the new Doctor Who.

The silly/scary series that began in 1963 -- becoming an icon of my childhood (and beyond, yes) -- is getting a splashy revamp next January. Fans hope that Eccleston will bring the sort of gravitas to the old blue police box that Patrick Stewart brought to the starship Enterprise, but that's a tricky comparison. While Eccleston has a lot more edge, he's still travelling around in a phone booth, for pete's sake.

Any bets on me getting cable back in January?
