See You Next Wednesday
Wednesday, March 9
 
The times they are a changin’.

To allow comments to be made I have changed the template of See You Next Wednesday. The orange was missing for a few days and I am investigating other touchups. Also, I am going to be out of town for two weeks so updates may or may not occur, we shall see. (Personally, I doubt it.)

Happy times and places.

Friday 11 March: drive to Bulahdelah; stay with Emma. Tuesday 15 March: coach to Sydney; stay with Mikey, Jojo and Nils. Wednesday 16 March: fly to Townsville; stay with Andy, Leone, Luke, Brianna and Sean. Monday 21 March: fly to Sydney; stay with Mikey, Jojo and Nils. Tuesday 22 March: train to Woy Woy; stay with Dad. Thursday 24 March: car to Bulahdelah; stay with Emma. Tuesday 29 March: drive back to Canberra.

Ahead of its time.

Apart from chatting to Emma which needs no elucidation, the highlight of this week was watching the first episode of the new series of Doctor Who. Much kudos to Linda for spotting it on the interweb and loading it down. She is a canny and generous lady.
 
Comments:
So what was the new Doctor Who like?
 
A little uneven. It moves like a mad bastard, has some fabulous dialogue and the leads put in charming performances (I have no idea what i was expecting from Eccleston as the Doctor, but I *know* I wasn't expecting a kind of Troughton-on-speed level of kookiness).

On the other hand, it was lavished with a British scale of funding rather than the American largesse we have become used, the plot was pretty simplistic, some of the gags (particularly the visual ones) didn't work all that well and the new logo doesn't do much for me.

That said, I was perfectly satisfied and desperately, desperately hunger for more Doctor 'n' Rose (Billie Piper is, in keeping with long-standing tradition, an utter hottie).
 
Thanks for the comments Dave. I look forward to seeing the new series at some point in the future.

This may not sound like the snappiest line from 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), but it evidently caught the imagination of John Landis, who has worked references to a mythical film of this name into most of his own movies - memorably as the grotty British skinflick watched by an assortment of lycanthropes and zombies in the climax of An American Werewolf in Paris [sic] (1981). Ghastly Beyond Belief, Neil Gaiman and Kim Newman
