The Daily Ampersand

We're sorry. We are so sorry.

We tried, we really did, to find something positive to say about Fear Her. 

Couldn't do it though.

Movies, books, TV, Doctor Who and everything else.

And here is the second part.

Lawrence is much less furious in this one so it is safe to come out from behind the sofa now.

Ah, you know the one. Big red man lives at the bottom of a hole.

This is me and Lawrence talking through the first part of it. A word of warning: Lawrence is FURIOUS about things today. Not this episode though. We both like that just fine.

Here we all are then. The Idiot's Lantern, a pejorative term for the telly. Like "goggle box", except when was the last time a telly looked like a box? the 1950s probably.

It is five minutes later.

The levels of sugar and enthusiasm are still high.

Here, then, is our commentary for the second half of Series 2's Cyberman story. Sorry about all the things.

A commentary track for new Who, series 2 episode 5. This week brought to you by the sugar marketing board it would seem.

Eat more sugar! It's delicious, and good for you.

Shush.

We're watching The Girl In The Fireplace. It's good, innit?

Stuff we forgot this week: the name of the actor Bruce Spence; and that the title of the film about Giulio Andreotti is Il Divo. I should have been able to remember the second one because of the embarrassing incident at the ticket office when the person at the cinema thought it was a film about a boy band of opera singers or something.

Our friend Mark, to whom we refer is @CWhoFan. He is a splendid fellow, and his blog Trap One https://trapone.wordpress.com is ace and always worth reading.

This week the "facts" are more than usually brutalised, most egregiously when John manifestly muddles up Toby Whithouse and Stephen Thompson.

At least we all know what a gadfly is now.
