Why not play LibDem Space Invaders?

What connects Big Brother contestant (and feminist) Germaine Greer; Travis front man Fran Healy; Darwinist Richard Dwawkins and his wife, former Doctor Who companion Lalla Ward? They're all voting Lib Dem This Time.

A review, then. Contains spoilers. The music starts, then time tunnel titles appear. You get a tingle. And then a day of Rose Tyler's life, compressed into a minute or so. High-paced, quickly establishing the character and those around her. She heads off to the basement of Henrik's, the shop where she works (played in the show by Howell's department store, Cardiff), to look for Wilson (which I

Well, it really was Doctor Who, wasn't it? And it seemed to manage the difficult task of trying to fit a story around all the necessary introductions. Next week (and wasn't the teaser enticing? I want to watch it now!) will in many ways, I suspect, be more indicative of how the show will work from week to week. The documentary earlier in BBC One had loads of clips that looked really

Last night I ended up as an extra in a music video. Depending how good the video is, I may elaborate at a later date.

Simon Pegg's Stalker is hoping to have seen all of the IMDb's Top 100 films by the end of the year. With 25% to go, that's a reasonable but achievable task. I'm shocked to discover that I've not seen 56 of these films. Looking through the list, though, there are a number which I've taken a conscious decision in the past not to watch. The Shawshank Redemption has never appealed to me. Nor have

I recently wrote to my MP, Eric Joyce, about the Elect the Lords campaign. I told him I was supporting the campaign, gave him my reasons, and asked him his views and to give his support if he agreed. I also asked him to forward my letter to the Lord Chancellor. Last week I got a reply. Here is the substance of it.I have written on your behalf to The RT Hon,[sic] Lord Falconer of Thornton[sic] QC,
