Oh, and do my music quiz, you miserable gits.

And for anyone that hasn't heard...

Police have foiled a major plot to "commit mass murder on an unimaginable scale" by destroying up to 10 passenger jets in mid-air.
The targets were flights leaving UK airports to the US.

Anti-terror police arrested 21 people in London, the Thames Valley and Birmingham on Wednesday night as stringent new security measures were imposed on all UK airports.

Metropolitan Police Deputy Commissioner Paul Stephenson told reporters at New Scotland Yard that the plot was designed to cause "untold death and destruction".

He added: "This was intended to be mass murder on an unimaginable scale."

Senior sources said the terrorists were believed to be planning to blow up as many as nine aircraft in a simultaneous attack.

Doctor Who Series 3 News

Hmmmm. Sounds good.

"The Doctor and Martha are destined to meet William Shakespeare, blood sucking alien Plasmavores, The Judoon - a clan of galactic stormtroopers and a sinister intelligence at work in 1930's New York."

I guess it's too much to hope that the blood suckers might be connected in some way to the guest slot from Anne Reid, who played Nurse Crane in the superlative "The Curse of Fenric".

And Captain Jack guest-starring, as well as appearing in the Torchwood spin-off series.

Yay!

Curiously, also news of another spin-off, this time for childrens television (whereas Torchwood is a "post-watershed" series).

"This week’s edition of Ariel, the Beeb’s in-house magazine, printed this intriguing little snippet:
CBBC is developing a spin-off series from Doctor Who based on the adventures of investigative journalist Sarah Jane, played by Elizabeth Sladen, and to be written by Russell T Davies. Sladen, who originally played the Doctor’s assistant in 1973, returned for the last series where she was seen vying with young Rose Tyler for the Doctor’s affections."
