Not the most wonderful of stories for the 8th Doctor. This one was ok, not the best, but ok. I get the feeling that it would have worked better if it was on TV.

A brief look at Samsung’s Galaxy SIII
I visited the O2 store and had a little play with Samsung’s SIII. My first impression was that it was very big, very big indeed. In fact, my iPhone 4 only just covers the screen of the SIII. But that sort of put me off a bit. It was so large that I wasn’t sure if I actually would get used to it.
Aside from size it has a very nice feel to it, but of course it is Android, and I’m still very much on the fence about a jump from iOS to Android. Of course, that could all change when iOS6 gets announced on Monday, we’ll have to see.
Listening to Grimes
So I’ve listened to 3 of Grimes’ albums and so far the one I really like is the last one, Visions. I really have enjoyed listening to that one, a lot. I hope that she keeps on making more albums like Visions.
Doctor Who: The Trail of the White Worm
I finally got to listen to the rest of this story, which is really good. Great to have the Master back again in a 4th Doctor story, and Unit and the Brigadier mentioned as well. It doesn’t get much better than that, and it’s great to hear Geoffrey Beevers as the Master, especially as he played the Master in the Keeper of Traken (one of my favourite stories).
Also, it’s a 2 part story! Excellent. Except that I have to wait for the second part to be delivered.
A new Imagined Village album
I didn’t know that they had a new album out, and more than that, I had no idea that they’d released an another album after their first! I’m really out of touch on this aren’t I. Still, never mind. I just need to catch a little with what they’ve been up to.
Cyberman: Part 1 – Scorpius
Another spin off Doctor Who story from Big Finish. I bought a handful of these to try them out, and this one is really quite good. Much darker than most Doctor Who stories though, quite contemplative as well.
I’m enjoying it. I may well follow this one up.
The Eiger Sanction
I really love this film and caught it just the other night. Apart from being a great example of it’s genre I’m always amazed at the shots on the mountain and the fact that the actors did so much, if not all of it themselves.
A great film, simple story, beautifully uncluttered.
