Heh, Saturday afternoons, eh? As a child, I saw lots of old Universal horror movies, 50s B-movies and the like in a late-night timeslot called Don't Watch Alone on Scottish Television. I distinctly remember being freaked out by the, let's call it a, monster in The Giant Claw because it was so ridiculously unreal that it sort-of wrapped around the reality spectrum and became superreal. Or maybe I was just tired.

Adventures with the Wife in Space is a terrific blog, in which the wife of a Who fan watches, and comments on, every episode from 'An Unearthly Child' onwards.

They're currently approaching the end of the Tom Baker era, which means they're already well over 500 episodes in.

Of course, if you're ever planning to watch the earlier episodes yourself...spoilers!

Has anyone pimped Pink Five on the Twitters at high-profile Star Wars fans like, say, @simonpegg, @nickjfrost or @wilw? I don't see evidence of it, but twitter's search engine isn't the best.

Note that, between them, they have 20 times the followers of the official @starwars account, and they do actually interact with fans on Twitter all the time, so if we can catch their attention and their fancy, I'm sure there's a decent chance they'd retweet it to their (literally) millions of followers.

There are surely many others like them (are any of @badastronomer, @jerilryan, @neilgaiman or @neiltyson Star Wars fans?) that it's worth Trey (or even everyone) pinging them and asking for a RT.

(@jimcameron has more followers than @starwars too, but he doesn't seem to be doing much with the tweeting and the stuff lately.)

Even though I'm not the publicly pimping kind, I'm happy to try a couple and see what sticks.

Maybe at least this version of the show will always have seven people in the rebel team, and one of them will always be called 'Blake'.

Well, David Tennant certainly thought so; he married her. For additional fan squee, the actress who played the Doctor's daughter, Georgia Moffett, is the actual daughter of Peter Davison, who played Doctor number 5.

Cue the follow-up episode, "Timey-wimey, Father-in-lawbbly".

Well, one might consider the Olympic opening ceremony to be a TV spot for Bond.

And, of course Jimmy will know this, but we're not going to get any other Olympic TV spots in the UK, due to the Olympics only being shown on a couple of dozen BBC channels.

(Not joking about the "couple of dozen", by the way.)

I don't agree. She never smiles anyway in these situations, so if she had, she would have been out of character as herself.

If you watch the set-up to her reveal, it's shot specifically to make you wonder who they've got to play the queen, because (as far as I know) she has never done anything like this before. That she went along with the whole thing (including preserving continuity of costume -- the scenes at the palace were shot in March, and they had to make all the trees look summery in post) is good enough for me.

I would love to have been a fly on the wall when the production company pitched this idea to the participants.

That will also be my excuse, should I require it.

I mean, the equipment doesn't care if you blame it, right? It's not like I borrowed it from Stephen King, or anything.

Vertical Video Syndrome: a public service announcement.

I've only seen Star Wars: Episode III on fast-forward; I believe it was no less comprehensible, and no less boring, while being mercifully shorter than if I'd been suckered into seeing it in the cinema, as I was with episodes I and II.

As for six unseen things of filmic/cultural note:

• Rocky (any of them)

• Grease (despite my wife's encouragement over the decades)

• Seven Samurai (or any other Kurosawa picture)

• Seventh Seal (or any other Ingmar Bergman picture)

• South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut (not a big South Park fan)

• Borat (or any other Baron Cohen picture)

Thanks. I only just found out about the thing myself, or I'd have given anyone interested more notice.
