Text messages inform me that the LibDems have pulled off a by-election double in the London Borough of Lewisham, snatching two seats from Labour with three figure majorities. Congratulation to Councillor Dan, who’s been tramping around delivering leaflets there for weeks, and to the candidates and the rest of the campaign teams.

The by-election page on the Lewisham Council site, where presumably results will appear, is here.

Star Trek fans still don’t seem to have recognised the difference between saving Enterprise and saving the franchise. Thanks to a Guardian sub-editor moonlighting at SFX, they at least don’t have that much work to do:

The campaign had begun with a full page ad in the LA Times which described Star Trek as a “cultural phenomenon” and asked fans to donated money to raise the $32 needed for a fifth series.

Just off to bed, but before I go here’s a quick post with a TV theme.

Either some Equity card holders have too much time or the BBC haven’t spotted the three commenters posing as Doctor Who actors in their favourite Doctor comments. My favourite is:

And finally, earlier on I watched The Gathering Place, the BBC’s controversial documentary about the construction of the Scottish Parliament building. While one might argue that the clips selected don’t show her in the best light, I have to ask: what planet does Margo MacDonald live on?

After nearly a month of searching, I have found a 105!

Now to pick up the 106, 107 and 108 that have taunted me around Edinburgh for long.

In other news, Dominic Tristram has a brief review of the new Who. It is somewhat more positive than the even briefer review I received by text message from my brother, whose expletive I shan’t repeat here.
