A friend just sent me the link The Ten Doctors. It's absolutly brilliant. It's a webcomic by a huge Dr Who fan, where all ten of Doctor Who's incarnations meet up. He's done a really god job of capturing each character's likeness, and personality. And it's really funny too. Rose's reaction to Ace is just perfect. Did I mention that all the and the various assistants are there too?

In the text under the comics he explains where in the continuity each Dr come from. And the implications of the Time War on the other Doctors. And quite spectific props. He's a huge fan

I've only just started reading, but it's been going for quite a while now, so there's lots of archive to catch up on.

The Beeb has made someone remove their DR Who knitting patterns from the web.

They're normally fairly lenient on fan activity, but it seems some idiot started selling them on eBay. So Auntie has told everyone to stop it.

I'd include an image, but I don't want to bring the lawyers over to this planet.

Previously, I may have mistakenly suggested that bringing back the cult sci-fi classic Blakes 7, in the wake of Doctor Who's rebirth on the BBC, might have been a good idea. I may have erroneously led readers to be believe that the return of the classic BBC serial to our screens, with improved modern-day production values, was something I was quite keen on.

As a lasting tribute to Horndean Special Bitter and the genius brewery that created it, I have set up a little tribute gallery - the Gales Brewery Archive. There's not a huge amount there at the moment, but it'll grow.

If you don't know, George Gale & Co was once a great local brewer based in Horndean, Hampshire. In 2005, it was taken over by Fullers of Chiswick (makers of London Pride, ESB) who immediately closed the brewery and relocated production to Chiswick. They've since rebranded all the local pubs, removing all trace of the Gales name, and the old Gales ales are gradually dissapearing from the pumps too.

The latest "craze" with the "kids" will come as a surprise to nobody apart from the sane - yes, it's Tetris Arm Wrestling of course, or "Tresling" as the youth know it. Such an obvious idea it's almost too simple to explain, Tresling is the perfect marriage of an early Russian video game with the ancient sport of arm wrestling, where each twitch of the arm is translated to the movement of a falling block on screen. Engadget have a tournament video here.

Tresling looks set to join the growing pantheon of physical/gaming cross-overs, including Tron Tennis, Galaxian Pole-Vault, and Naked Pacman.

Residents living in an unfortunately named graffiti-plagued village in Merseyside have been asked to consider changing its name to tackle vandals who alter signs in the village.

Can't think why....

Widespread suspicions that we may be entering the biblical "end times" for civilisation were confirmed today, as Disney announced that High School Musical 4 is already in the pipeline. With the third film in the series not even completed yet, the move has been commonly understood to mark the end of all that is good about the world, humanity, and everything worth saving of our wretched, pitiful existence.

The exact date of the inevitable apocalypse is unknown, as is the availability of Zac Efron, but the final crushing blow to the flickering flame of the human spirit will probably premiere as a TV movie in the first instance.

There's an interesting article over on the Register about the growing acrimony between the BBC and ISPs over Iplayer. The basic problem is that the Iplayer, the BBC's new system for making its programming available online, is very popular - and since it's video, it also takes a lot of bandwidth. Internet Service Providers in the UK are finding that carrying all this data to so many users is quite costly, and we're supposed to feel sorry for them.

The Register is generally quite scathing about the BBC, and predictably they're taking the ISP's side in this argument as well. The BBC are being branded as arrogant and abusive of their position in setting up Iplayer in the first place, and in criticising the industry's suggestions that they should subsidise the ISPs in some way for having to carry all this extra content.

The entire world was united in horror today as bad news continued to flow from the new Terminal 5 at Heathrow. Opened last week, the new terminal has become a symbol of national shame for Britain, as scores of passengers were inconvenienced by missing baggage and cancelled flights.

Many have been so shocked by the front page news that support groups have had to be established, for those still reeling from disturbing revelations such as baggage sometimes gets lost, brand new airport terminals don't always run smoothly from the first day, and - perhaps most disturbingly of all - flights can sometimes be cancelled.

Apple (they of the increasingly annoying adverts) are coming for in for some stick after finding ways to sneak their latest web browser onto Windows PCs.

Their Safari browser, previously found only on Macs, now has a free Windows version. Nothing wrong in that, except rather than wait for people to choose to download it, Apple are using the Apple Update software that comes with their ubiquitous Itunes and Quicktime applications to offload Safari onto Windows punters - often without their knowledge.
