What happens when you take Doctor Who‘s single most innuendo-laden story and reduce it to its purest form by taking out everything but the smut? A mildly amusing YouTube edit of Four To Doomsday is what happens, and here it is:

In my similar round-up last year I explained that our telly automatically turns subtitles on when muted, which often then get stuck when we change channels. With hilarious consequences!
The year began with a nasty cold snap, and the BBC Weather Department was getting increasingly frustrated at the public’s apathy
June brought the Diamond Jubilee celebrations, and Fiona Bruce got carried away with some of the terminology
On the Enterprise-D, Beverley was furious that Picard’s special nickname for her had become common knowledge

It’s Doctor Who’s 49th birthday and I took a few minutes to make a little present.
The official mascots of this year’s Games are, to be blunt, creatures of nightmare. I’ve done this post as a public service. Monsters belong in monster movies, not out and about scaring small children in our streets and stadia. Sleep well everyone.
As older readers may remember, Juliet Bravo was a tv show about a smalltown police inspector who — in a twist — was a woman! And it had one of the best theme tunes of all time. So how would Plan B’s brilliant ill Manors (buy it here) sound if relocated to early 80s Lancashire? LET’S FIND OUT:
Llama del Rey. Llama del Rey. You can’t turn a corner on the internet without running into a picture of Lana del Rey mocked up as a llama. The only thing annoying me about this is that everyone else got there before me, when it’s the sort of weak pun/visual gag that this blog was invented for. So I’ve had to come up with some of my own. And along the way I’ll explain the album with some helpful CHARTS and FACTS.
If there’s one thing Lana likes to sing about more than kissing and reckless love, it’s the weather. It’s always summertime in her songs, but as the lyrics tell us, conditions are very changeable.
If there’s one thing Lana likes to sing about more than kissing, reckless love and the weather, it’s the places she’s been. Now YOU can travel in her footsteps with this handy guide to visiting all the locations mentioned in the album, in order!
If there’s one thing Lana likes to sing about more than kissing, reckless love, the weather and travel, it’s clothes. Hardly a song goes by without her telling us what she’s wearing. Mix and match your own Lana del Rey capsule wardrobe with this chart showing which outfits she mentions the most! NB: I’ve not included any accessories or make-up. We’d be here all bloody day.

Chucky Venn arrived in Albert Square tonight as Bianca’s ex/Morgan’s dad. What can we expect from him? I’ve drawn a Venn diagram in which we can look at the patterns surrounding the characters he’s played before.
And there we have it. So let’s hope that EastEnders finally brings all these tropes together. Ray could do some dirty work for Derek Branning and enjoy some hot sex complications with a selection of characters (let’s say Kim, Denise, Ben and Big Mo) before a final explosive ending of some kind. Sorted.
I’ve started a Tumblr. The theme’s fairly self-explanatory I reckon. You can see it or follow it from here: THESEDOGSAREINNOCENT.tumblr.com
There’s a fine art to the graphic design of signage icons. They should speak for themselves for one thing. I saw this lovely poster on the train, but it was spoiled by masses of explanatory text which was too small to read. I’ve added some simpler interpretations.
Black Swan was far and away my favourite film of 2011. And all the major critics agree: the only way it could possibly have been improved would have been to recast the lead roles with rats.
To finish off my review of 2011, I’ve made that dream a reality.
