Ah. Is it? That is what is referred to in the TV industry as a "cock up" but then the people doing these sites (The same guys did the Torchwood sites) aren't exactly on the ball most of the time.

No show on Sat if the football overruns:

So here's hoping it's over after 90 mins (ideally a Watford win)

(warning minor spoilers in that article)

Well there's not much they could have done about it, to be fair, it's a MySpace blog and MySpace won't let you post-date entries.

4-1 to Man U with 5 minutes to go. I'd say it's a fairly safe bet that Who is on...

Why are the two opening characters dressed as the characters from American Gothic?

What an excellent episode. Giant enemy crabs and a fantastic, wonderful twist at the end.

Heh... that was my immediate thought as well...

I really liked that episode. It wasn't about the sci-fi, it was about a mystery and people. Plenty of interesting people, with dialogue and relationships. In fact you probably could have doubled the episode length and still kept it interesting with what you could tell about everyone involved.

Disappointed that they couldn't have attacked the enemy for massive damage

It was obvious what those 'final words' were gonna be, but even so it was still proper boe

I really liked that one, very dark. The whole idea of them just going round and round without realising there was never any way out, but just making do anyway. Very British piece of writing.

Nice Judge Dredd references in there as well.

And not set in Cardiff or London, which should keep the whingers quiet for a bit.

It was set on a motorway. I think that would set the buggers off even more

Been thinking what this episode reminds me of, and I realised that it's reminiscent of the kind of story they used to run in 2000AD in their 'future shocks' one offs.
