Back to modern day England for an
encounter with a dangerous monster – but enough of Mrs Jones; what about
Professor Lazarus? Mark Gatiss was
excellent, as was his prosthetic ’76 years old’ make-up. The CGI monster also
worked well, and moved more convincingly that the Reapers and Krillitanes. The
episode looked good, and there was some ostentatious clue-dropping by one of Mr
Saxon’s henchmen. Maybe too many false climaxes for perfection, though. Saw a bit of David Tennant on Parkinson
later. Parkinson clearly hasn’t watched
it and was not very well briefed, but DT managed OK.

Watched Jonathan Ross show as John Barrowman and Andrew Lloyd Webber were
due to be on it, with clip from John Barrowman’s return to Doctor Who. For once, JB was totally upstaged by Ross’ previous
guest, the completely insane Janice Dickinson. Oliver Reed was nothing compared
with her. God knows what she was on.

was set in real time, on a space
ship hurtling towards a sun. It looked
wonderful, and there was real tension, but I didn’t actually enjoy it that
much. I think it reminded me too much of
Star Trek TNG.

To the doctor’s surgery for
pre-holiday vaccinations. Now I know Doctor Who is ubiquitous – they had a
couple of the ‘quick reads’ books in the waiting room. Makes a change from last year’s magazines,
anyway.
According to London Lite, Kylie Minogue is taking acting lessons so she can play
a Cyberwoman. I really hope not!

Human
Nature was much better than I feared. The scarecrows were particularly
creepy.
