just on a slight tangent, did anyone catch the Mark Gatiss interview on BBC4 last night?? Covered quite a lot, including the fact that the League reformed (well......) to write some new stuff for the ace and silly Horrible Histories?

And this so called half human nonsense is all a part of New Who isn't it? Personally i hope pond is raped by Zygons haha, as rory cries himself to death whilst having to watch it dangling frae Nessie's mouth

ahem.

No, sadly it was from the McGann episode.

This travesty of an idea was first mentioned during the Paul McGann 1996 American Television Movie

Some fans have seen this (alongside the mention of the TARDIS having a 'cloaking device' instead of the more familiar 'Chameleon Circuit') as a ploy to appeal to the American fans of 'Star Trek' - i.e Spock having a human parent, and the Enterprise has a 'cloaking device'

I personally choose to dismiss that silly half-human reference on this basis:

as River Song says, the first rule is: the Doctor lies.

Wow, HMV are selling The Unit Files box set for £35.

Its £15.97 on Amazon.

Oddly i've just ordered the Earth Story set from HMV for a tenner.

What is going on with their price structuring.

Apparently, the system is having a few problems as they're implementing the new pricing between now and the weekend. It's crazy - you have new titles like DW Face of Evil being sold for £17 and Tintin triple play for £22, yet some of the Arrow pre-orders are cheaper than Amazon

Edit: £22 for Sensorites and £28 for Meglos. Madness, sheer madness.

But it's not a good sign of things to come; I thought I better get some more cheaper DW titles as you can't get older ones on the high street anymore.
