Ten Thing The New Who Generation Can Grow Up Terrified Of:

Everyone ready to hide behind your sofas? That's right, they're the creepiest, lowest budget space monsters around. Be afraid, be very afraid of...

10. Televisions
(a somewhat counter-productive phobia to introduce to potential viewers)

9. Anyone playing a brass instrument while wearing a santa suit.
(most children sensibly extend this to all father christmases)

8. Shop Window Dummies
(not just new who, this is one for all the family)

7. Fat People
(and chips. An RTD anti-obesity campaign?)

6. Christmas Trees
(they're out to get you)

5. GPS
(I always knew they couldn't be trusted)

4. Gas Masks
(all war period dramas are suddenly terrifying)

3. Blinking
(now that's just mean)

2. Water
(you just know that they were standing at the water cooler trying to come up with an original idea)

and finally, the scariest thing the doctor who scriptwriters could come up with!

*fanfare*

1. The Dark
(and when it's sunny: argh, shadows!)

Tintin

If this film really does go ahead with all these people involved I may faint from excitement.


Clockwise from top left: Thomas Sangster, Steven Moffat, Tintin and Snowy, Peter Jackson, Steven Spielberg, Andy Serkis.

My first day...

Summary: Data validation is very dull.

Summary: The search function is irritatingly slow. And people have funny names.

Summary: I love Doctor Mac. Susan doesn't count.
Summary: I have post-exam plans. :D
Important Translation: "Work shmurk. Bookshop Wookshop. Q. Is Dunni Bernard or Manny?

Important Bit of the above: What did we spend most of the time filming House actually doing? Right - walking down corridors.
Important Quesitons: Does persepctive have to be the same for all the cubes? Are the cubes floating in space? Are they borg cubes? What is the optimal cube density?
Summary of important points: Instead of writing actual blog post I'll just scan in bored ramblings. Better off drawing cubes. Brigadier not in Peru. Resting my eyes.

P.S. Points for translating bored <-ART

Steven Moffat Is My Master Now

Antimini (squealing loudly): " Omigodomiodomigodohmygod!"
Family and randoms: "Huh?"
Antimini (rapidly in high pitched voice): "I have some amazing news! Omigod! It's so exciting! Well you might not get it but trust me it's awesome!"
Family (vaugely concerned): "What?"
Antimini (patiently): "Do you remember me talking about Steven Moffat?"
Aunty Tammy: "Steven Moffet sat on a Tuffet?"
Antimini (less pateintly): "No! Steven Moffat! He wrote the empty child and the doctor's daughter, I mean no not the doctor's daughter the doctor dances and the girl in the fireplace and blink! He won a bafta for blink!"
Mother: *has no clue what's going on*
Aunty Tammy: "The girl in the fireplace - that's doctor who..."
Antimini: "Yes! Yes see and he wrote loads of awesome ones! And now guess what!"
Family (losing interest in incoherence): "What are you talking about?"
Antimini (climactically): "He's going to be lead writer and series executive producer now instead of Russel T Davies!"
Mother (pretending to be interested): "Who's Russelteydavies?"
Antimini (losing steam): "The current lead writer and executive producer!"
Mother: "What are we talking about?"
Antimini: "DOCTOR WHO!"

OK so all you plebs out there do not appreciate the wonder that is Steven Moffat but you will benefit none-the-less because this series is gonna be frickin incredible! And thanks to Adam for drawing my attention to it with some well chosen expletives.
