    David Tennant fans might be interested in the forthcoming HBO/BBC co-production " Einstein and Eddington", which stars Tennant as British scientist Sir Arthur Eddington and somewhat improbably, Gollum - er, I mean, Andy Serkis - as Einstein. Its due to be broadcast in the UK on the 22nd November. Also, there was a two minute preview of the forthcoming Christmas Special during the BBCs Children in Need telethon this evening. Its probably already circulating, but be warned theres some big spoilers in it...

    Super Robot stuff is great to dip into every now and again. And no "real mecha" show has ever inspired a lyric like "Only the finest violence for those that defy even God!". And go watch Patlabor on TV! Like, right now! We'll wait!

    Apparently a possible 12.5Gs. Though the more I think about it, the more it looks like the pilot forgot something important. "Wait, this isn't Edwards!"

    J-Turns. Not just for cars: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=bgaOrCYb7b0 (although I feel I have to make a joke here about the pilot having seen a Typhoon coming the other way... )

    Its worth it - the ending is a bit of a deus ex machina, but its otherwise pretty good all the way through. Still has one of my favourite anime chase scenes, one that ends in a Hall of Mirrors...

    I just find it scary these days that theres all these young whipper-snappers into their "Nar-u-toes" and "Depressions of Ha-ru-hoo" who might not know the significance of tiger-stripe bikinis. The first movie is pretty much a UY TV episode writ large, but my favourite UY movie is "Remember My Love". We were born to be free, kids!

    I'm not sure if its worth renting again, but theres an end scene featuring Tony Stark and a certain very well known actor playing a very well known Marvel character...

    Kids, if you're wondering what "Urusei Yatsura" is, ask your parents. DARLING!

    ZZ improves quite a bit from about episode 22 onwards; up to that point its worth suffering through just to see why it was so important that Tomino be kept miserable at that stage of his career. One of the things I never got over there is poor Bright being reduced to the Universal Centurys greatest straight man...

    The original series is still worth a watch, if you can forgive the 70s-era animation, design and disco music. Whats interesting is that you can almost tell the point when Tomino steps up a gear - after reading so much about Gundam for so long, finally seeing the moment where Lalah appears for the first time - chills up the spine, that is.

    The YF-22 is not Macross, but during its development it was competing against the prototype Northrop YF-23 [1] and its often cited that this competition was one of the inspirations for the plot (and look) of Macross Plus. I really liked the Iron Man movie; I felt the ending was a bit of a let-down but everything else was very, very good. If you haven't seen it, do watch past the end of the credits! [1] Something of a fan favourite on Macross World, and also quite possibly the most Macross-y real world aircraft ever.

    I quite liked the first MS Igloo; it was interesting to see an anime focussing on what we Brits used to call "operational research"; however I was a little disturbed by the "good guy Nazis!" feel on occasion and I think they also spoilt the ending a little bit - Tomino would never have let that happen...
  13. F-ZeroOne
    I wouldn't exactly call it "current", but Fang of the Sun Dougram.

    I found his later books rather weaker than the earlier ones; The Andromeda Strain I think is my favourite. And we do have him to thank for making dinosaurs freakin' awesome again.
  15. F-ZeroOne
    Actually, I rather suspect that The Stig is a new model Dalek...
  16. F-ZeroOne
    If we're going that route, theres only one member of the Top Gear cast I would like to see in the TARDIS. Some say that he bites the heads off life-size jelly babies... Some say that hes bigger on the inside... ...all we know is...

    I think Russell T. Davies said recently that it has to be someone younger these days, as the production schedule and increased pace of episodes would kill an older person. I forgot to mention, that in the same TV awards where Tennant announced he was leaving, Doctor Who won best drama and best actor (go on, guess which one) but somewhat annoyingly, the best actor and actress categories were merged, which meant that Catherine Tate and David Tennant were effectively competing against each other - I felt that was a bit hard on Tate... Edit: its not too late to vote - there is a third option...! http://www.pvponline.com/comics/pvp20081104.gif

    Haven't read it, but I need no convincing whatsoever about the deranged and scary part. Though I have to say, the one very brief minute I got to meet him once he was charm itself.
  19. F-ZeroOne
    Really. He announced it at a recent TV Awards in the UK, though its been sort of rumoured for quite some time. Place your bets...
  20. F-ZeroOne
    You're welcome. Tom Baler seems to be getting bigger every year - not fat, just big.
  21. F-ZeroOne
    One of the names doing the rounds is Robert Carlyle; the only problem I'd have with that is that it would completely remove any sense of threat. Even the Daleks would poop themselves. ("EX-TERM-I-NATE THE DOC - wait, you mean its that guy our of Cracker and that Bond film?! Er... LOVE AND PEACE TO THE DALEKS! PLEASE DON'T HURT US...") I think the only thing we can be reasonably sure of is that - ahem - Whoever it is will probably not be a generally known name. Maybe someone who has starred in a high-budget production but not a "household" name. Edit: YouTubers might wish to search for clips of Tom Baker, who hosted the popular British satirical programme, "Have I Got News For You" last night. He introduced himself with the magnificent line "Hello, I used to be Jon Pertwee... "

    The 00, by the way? Thats quite some ankle poseabilty...!

    I got into Turn-A sometime after that toy came out. I did see a couple in Tokyo recently, but they all had the scary unreadable kanji which translate as "Problem". I'm also kicking myself for not picking up the MSiA when I had the chance, but again, when I had the opportunity I was still under the impression that Turn-A was the result of Tomino hitting the tequila a bit too hard recently and not the masterpiece creation of the Universes greatest mecha show director. I have someone working on something in compensation for missing out on the figures, I'll see about putting up some images when Project... er... Fish... is completed.

    Colour pics of the Turn-X figure: http://ga.sbcr.jp/mreport/011409/ And, Bandai? Turn-A. You are, aren't you? OR ELSE.

    I'm just looking forward to Scotty charging around the Jefferies Tubes hunting Klingons with a cricket bat and yelling "Come get some!" whilst doing so...
