    McFly and Doctor Who. That's got to be the weirdest clash of interests and deep dislikes I've seen in a while...

    Anne Widdecombe and Who? Now there's a natural fit.

    Its good to hear someone wants to take on the Ultraviolet mantel. I've long thought this series was under rated and should have been continued. Its just a shame that C4 didn't have the courage to do it. Fingers crossed it gets re-made properly....

    There's a whole big interview with Joe Ahearne at the World Productions web site about why there wasn't a second series of Ultraviolet and it wasn't all Channel 4's fault.

    There was an attempt to make a US version of it but it never got further than the pilot stage. Ahearne has a few things to say about it, too.

  • Tue 18 Nov: Does it count in the CSI: Miami drinking game if David Caruso and Emily Procter are apparently in the same scene together, but they never speak to each other and you never see both their faces at the same time?
  • Sat 15 Nov: The Ascent of Money "sponsored by Cayman Islands". Huh. What's going on there then?
