• Fight Club - good to see it (or at least the last third) again - possibly the most enjoyable film about self-harm ever
  
  
• Rugby playing Matt Stevens from the X Factor: Battle of the Stars - a good singer, fair enough, but every night his facial expression - nay his entire stance - has been that of a toddler who's just produced an unexpectedly impressive log, and is quite delighted by the result.
  
  
• There would be more, but the adverts will no doubt be almost at an end, and there's a drinkey-poo with my name on it. A more sober service will follow shortly.
  
  
• 1.52am update Jesus, I've just watched this week's Dr Who episode (The Impossible Planet) "on demand".
  
  OK, so yesterday I was banging on about the ineffectual nature of The Supremeley Evil Being as an object of horror for the unbeliever, or something, however tonight's Who episode nailed it so firmly I was left in a gibbering mess all over the carpet. Though that might have had to do with the Glenfiddich.
  
  I know I rarely end up finding sufficient time to Whovangelise on VSX, which is a shame as the last two series have in my opinion been the best British television productions since, oh I don't know, Sapphire & Steel (the latter being good in the memory but no doubt shite in reality). Give or take a few less than wonderful episodes, of course (eps 1 of both new series - the other ones I'd originally taken umbridge with - Boom Town and The Girl In The Fireplace - have great replay value). Nope, I tend to end up writing more about Dr Who in response to articles on other blogs rather chronicling my sheer joy on these pages. That is, unless I am drunk, as is the case right now (2.12am as I type).
  
  However, drunk or not (or otherwise), tonight was a masterclass in the televisual control of tension, expectation and fear.
  
  Or was that the X Factor?

He also has a stray arm being controlled by Jim Henson - very Kermit the Frog.

Additionally, he looks like comedian Stewart Lee whilst in slightly-plump-mode.

And he's got the eyebrows of a goat.
