Doctor Who: Series 5 trailer looking good

At least it looks better than the stomach-churningly bad final Tenant episodes, which were among the worst television I've ever seen. And that comes from a fan. Good riddance, RTD.

Let's hope for more episodes, like the classic Blink, written by someone who understands drama.

World's strongest beer with 32% strength launched...

Again, some pretty smart, attention-seeking marketing. Won't be touching the stuff myself, mind.

Oh, and B-san - stay away :-)

Great #BBC radio interview on new book about implications of '80s revolutions, focusing on Hungary and Romania

My pal Rhod Sharp speaks with Nick Thorpe (2hrs 35mins in) about "'89: The Unfinished Revolution" from Reportage Press. Fascinating with some great extracts...
