Don’t normally enjoy these English people traveling around the world programmes, however last Sunday I watched Equator and was pleasantly pleased.

There are two more episode left, and the first is currently available to watch online.

Managed to watch a copy of the pilot this morning of the new show from Aaron Sorkin. I was really impressed with it, it had the feel of the West Wing, as well as a large number of the cast (at least 6 and I’m sure I spotted a seventh) whilst not actually being about politics.
We’ve yet to really see how any of the episode will run, but the series is on Monday this Fall on NBC so I’ll be watching out for it.

Yesterday after having enough of only being able to watch channels 1 to 4, I went out and bought a Freeview box.
I plugged it in, followed the instructions and got BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Three/CBBC and BBC News 24. So I went from getting four channels to four channels.
So today I phoned for an aerial engineer called R W Parish, he was here for an hour. Installed a new aerial and replaced the coaxial cable as the old cable was pretty much damaged and now we have lots of channels.
I got Freeview because I wanted BBC Three, BBC Four, E4 and More 4 whilst I think Heather will be happy with just CBeebies.

There are adverts on TV at the moment about the new lottery game Dream Number. In it they mention that “Winning just got easier”. The game has a 1 in 10 chance of winning and the most likely prize is only £2. In the small print it says compared to Lotto Extra, this game has now been removed, however it had odds of 1 in 13,983,816 and had one prize that was almost always over a million pounds. I’m sure that whatever concept they could have come up with would have resulted in more chances in winning.

…can’t wait!
May blog live, may be hiding behind the sofa.

The new Doctor Who is about to reach season three plus have a spin off Torchwood and they are already reusing the actors.
Torchwood is to have Eve Myles play a different character and now the new companion will be Freema Agyeman who only died last week!

I was going to write a long review, but can’t be bothered.
The film is great, the girls look good and stay until the end of the credits.

Being too young to remember the original I would like to thank Tony and David for getting me in to the new version.
As it’s on Sky One I didn’t have much chance to watch it. However on New Years Eve whilst at Sally’s and Tony’s I watched the feature length pilot/movie. Then a couple of weeks ago whilst staying in Newbury in a hotel, I watch one of Season 2 with David.
I’ve now gone and got the DVD of season one, and I’m getting through the episodes pretty quickly. As somebody who been watching a lot of American shows at the moment (24, West Wing, Smallville, Surface, Invasion, Lost, Firefly) this is definitely one of the better ones.

NBC have cancelled the West Wing after viewing figures dropped. May have something to do with them changing it from a Wednesday night show to a Sunday night one.
I would have liked at least one season of the new President, but not too sure if it could have lasted much longer than that.

I would like to thank Santa for this wonderful present this Christmas.

I love you lots
