Spotlight, Etc.!

Hey guys. I know it's been a very long time (is this how I always start my blogs now?), but I thought that the fact I'm in the TV.com Spotlight this week is reason enough to do it.

I'm actually posting this from Movietome - for some reason I'm unable to access TV.com or Gamespot today. This has happened a lot recently - being able to visit the site one day, and then not for the next couple of days. It's no big problem as long as I get through my submissions.

So for that reason, I'm not certain I'm in the spotlight, but I've been assured by Islander it's true! I guess I should say thanks to the "random" choosing machine that selected me...

Um, also I'd like to make (another) apology for being absent from forums and blogs. Obviously with limited access and none of my favourite shows on at the moment, I've not really been around. Still, two of my shows will be back soon, so I'll be on here a lot more.

TV-wise, there's not much on at the moment. What I've caught of The Sarah Jane Adventures has been quite good - I missed the finale on Monday (that is, if they did show it on the CBBC channel), but it'll be repeated this Monday. It was nice to see the return of Ms. Wormwood, the Sontarans, and of course, the Brigadier in the first part.

Desperate Housewives is quite good, as well. Setting the fifth series five years in the future wasn't a bad move as it's allowed the introduction of a lot of new situations. Dave (Edie's husband) is really mystifying, and can I ask - am I the only one who seems to be uninterested in all of Susan's storylines? I'm not at all bothered about her and Jackson.

As mentioned, two of my shows are returning early next year - Primeval and, of course, Waterloo Road. I don't know much about the third series of Primeval, but there's been a Waterloo Road press release for the first episode of Series Four (which airs on January 7th). For those who care (anyone?), both Rachel and Davina (one who was crushed by a collapsed roof, and the other who had smoke inhalation) were said to have died, but it turned out neither have! That's really good news, especially with Davina, who is one of my favourites. And it'll be the first time one of Tom's girlfriends hasn't died! Both Lorna and Izzie died in the second series...

Um, Richard would never forgive me for not using my new-found spotlight fame to advertise our animation, Doreen and Maureen. After we finished the first series, I promised there would be a further series, however, we agreed only to do one final episode, which we released a couple of weeks ago. It's called "Black Wedding", and whilst it may not make complete sense if you've not seen the other episodes, it's still pretty funny. It continues from the cliffhanger at the end of "Emo Grunts", and has some nice twists. Check it out here (and definitely watch after the credits):

I think that's about it for today. I hope you guys are all okay, and I'll try to keep this up a little more regularly.

(Can't see my TV.com level or percentage...is it Level 32 or 33...? And it's around 58%, right? I don't know, I'm just guessing...)

Many congratulations on the community spotlight, Mr Pitt. A very worth recipient indeed. Sarah Jane has been very decent this season. I've particularly liked Secrets Of The Stars and The Temptation Of Sarah Jane Smith. I have 'acquired' all episodes of DH season 5 but have yet to watch them. According to TV.com, you're Level 32 but I can't see a percentage. (I have now seen a percentage and it's 58.28%)

Take care, mate

Congrats on Spotlight!!!! Ive loved DH this season, i was a little worried about the 5 year jump ahead, but its worked out great!

Yeah, congrats on the spotlight.

Congrats on the spotlight. I have a review for desperate Housewives' Me And My Town. There's also double polls for DW/TW on my blog. I don't mind Primeval but I can't get into Waterloo Road. More4 are repeating Season 2 of Brothers And Sisters, weekdays at 3pm/4pm next week.

Hi QB, I'm on TV.com now (yeah, it works today!), but thanks for telling me. I think the BBC should consider a more prime time airing of SJA. And what do you think of Rani in comparison to Maria?

Thanks for the congratulations, guys. If you haven't already been in it, you will be on day, I'm sure.

I agree Dool_girl - I'm particularly finding Porter's storylines in DH interesting.

And I'll come right over to your blog, Shawn. By the way, I'm watching the B&S repeats right now - have been all week.

Congrats on the spotlight . I didn't realized you still had difficulty login in, that's must be very, very frustrating by now. My David is in the Christmas Special (meaning the one I'm the editor for) since Blackpool I have been looking forward to a reunion of the two Davids.

Hey Matt. Congratulations on the Community Spotlight, you deserve it. That's so awesome. But, That sucks that you haven't been able to get into TV.com.

Thanks guys, but it's okay at the moment. Actually, it hasn't played up since I posted this blog, though I reckon it might soon.

I'm looking forward to The Next Doctor too. I didn't realise you were Editor for David Morrissey. Hope you're well.
