Wow. Just.....wow.

I mean, I don't like period dramas very much - but I know people who would risk getting speeding tickets to be home in time to the next episode of Pride and Prejudice or whatever...and whilst I don't like them, I can appreciate that they're great TV for some people. Ditto, I am sure, they would question my fascination with Top Gear, Mythbusters, The Sky at Night, Spy ( a bbc series ) and so on.

But things like Planet Earth from the BBC, one of the most beautiful series ever filmed - indeed anything from the Attenborough stable at BBC Natural History. For space-nuts, Nova's two documentaries about MER. Roving Mars on an Imax screen - a real life adventure that brought tears to my eyes. The frankly awe inspiring dramatization of Shackleton's adventure featuring Kenneth Brannagh. The comedy of Bill Bailey, Eddie Izzard, Billy Connoly. Oceans 11. American Beauty. The Prestige. The Lord of the Rings triology, Gladiator - exquisite movies all. In the Shadow of the Moon - one of the best big screen documentaries of all time.

Does none of that even rate close to a bad Dr Who episode for you?

I can't begin to comprehend that. It makes NO sense.
