Top Gear goes into bottom gear

The BBC gave me good news!

I can reduce the amount of television I watch shortly because Chris Evans is being wheeled in to replace Jeremy Clarkson and that is something I don't need to suffer.

What is more interesting is that comments from others I have overheard are similar and I am left wondering if the BBC process amounted to "we couldn't come up with a good plan so just wheel in someone who was allegedly popular years ago".

Perhaps dropping the show/ moth balling it for a while or any of a number of other options may have been better than a knee jerk?

Top Gear

So Clarkson has gone, what a massive pity but inevitable.

What will come next, a new programme on a different channel or a replacement.

At least if Chris Evans, who is denying being interested so a cert, gets the job it will help me reduce my screen time each week.

Dr Who

To bid rid of Russell T Davies and the gay themes, it's all worth it http://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/film/doctor-movie-happening-ditch-tv-show.html

Falling Skies, American Standards

We've been watching Falling Skies which is a passable sci-fi TV series. After 3 episodes I can safely say passable largely because we have to avoid X Factor & Come Dancing somehow. Early on the lead gives an example of smaller forces defeating larger forces : the Athenians at Marathon, ok. The Scots against the British. Yes, I can now confirm for any American readers that England is just a few miles South of London.
