How great was Doccie Who?! I didn’t get the chance to watch it yesterday because I was visiting relatives. But I’ve just finished watching a recording and it’s clearly the best of this series so far. The whole Doctor/Sarah Jane reunion and then parting again ending was brilliant. Really moving.

Having delved deep into classic Doctor Who since the 2005 series, I’ve seen a lot of Sarah Jane episodes and appreciated this story all the more because of it. But even then, I reckon this week’s episode was a fantastic Who story all the same.

Next week’s looks poo though.

The outsides of my ears are really, really itchy.

I really don’t want to go back to Racodac. Not so much a case of “ever” - although that thought does appeal - I could just do with another month or so off.

I’ve been in a bit of a mood on & off for almost two weeks now. You know, a bit fed up, uninspired, blah, blah, blah. Think I need to find something new. Even Doccie Who didn’t do much for me tonight. But then again, I hate period pieces so that aspect of the episode didn’t exactly help.

Ah I dunno. Where’s Tetris…

There’s going to be a sort of follow-up series to Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace.

EXCELLENT with brass knobs on.

The return of Doccie Who was great, wasn’t it just?! Sublime imagery, great performances all round and very funny to boot. A fine reason to stay in on a Saturday night. Not that I would’ve gone out anyway, but that’s beside the point.

It looks like I’ve got to rethink the title sequence I was going to do for that pilot episode, as the theme tune has been changed completely (different mood entirely) and now won’t work with my clever idea.

Bugger.

I wonder if any channel will be showing The Passion of the Christ over Easter. You know, to keep entertainment topical.

Typical. I haven’t really been on my computer for a week and now that I’m back, Tetris has stopped working - even though this is my computer, which nobody else touches.

Work experience, then. Okay, so it started slowly. Very slowly. But by midweek it had really picked up and turned out to be an insightful, entertaining experience. For the most part I was working on a re-brand of UEFA’s Super Cup and their Football Gala event. But I also did masses of research for a presentation on the use of wit/comedy in design. I was even treated to lunch at some swanky restaurant yesterday. Nice, eh?

The travelling was very hectic though and my body clock has adjusted to getting up at ridiculously early hours without the aid of an alarm call. Which was quite annoying this morning, as I was looking forward to a bit of a lie-in. But just as well at the same time, as I had to be up & out considerably early to meet up with Jess E. for a bit of a chat, lunch and then some hardcore Ice Age 2 action.

The meet itself was a long time coming and did not disappoint; Jess was as lovely as ever. The film too was excellent - really funny. And looking around the cinema, we seemed to be the only adults there not accompanying children. Unless of course, you count the fact we were accompanying each other. Which is more or less the same thing.

Update: I forgot to mention that I met Eugene Sully (Big Brother 6 runner-up) and Shaun ‘Fat Baz’ Williamson (from EastEnders) on consecutive days whilst travelling to my work placement.

I kept looking out for Doug Naylor but he was probably in Australia.

Well, not quite yet. But tomorrow I’m starting a week’s placement at English & Pockett. I have to admit, their reputation has unnerved me somewhat - mainly because I’m a mere second year student tosser with little experience in the real world as it were.

Ah well, I’m sure it’ll be an interesting experience all the same.
