# Nicely
I haven't watched this week's episode yet, but I gather there's a bit of to-do at the end?

# Yep - a good episode
Though Amy Pond solving some baffling problem in about three seconds is beginning to bore me. She's managed it in every episode so far.

# Speaking of...
...I just made a complaint to the BBC:

"Good afternoon BBC,

I'd like to join the thousands of other viewers who have written to complain about Graham Norton's avatar's unexpected appearance on saturday's broadcast of Doctor Who.

Doctor Who is my very favourite television show. Each week I get totally swept along in the narrative, the beautiful sets and incredible acting talent. It's not unusual for an episode to make me cry.

So imagine my frustration when - during the amazing climax to what promises to be one the best 'Who' stories ever - a poorly animated dancing pixie prances across the screen, deflating any sense of danger and ruining the tension that the whole episode had been building up to. It was like having a sneeze building up for forty-five minutes - only to have someone pinch your nose at the last moment.

I did find a work around to the problem. I have downloaded a copy of the episode from a file-sharing service which was recorded from BBC HD. As you'll be aware, the simulcast version of the programme in HD had a far more sensible announcement after the end credits.

I don't like having to break laws in order to watch my favourite programmes as they were intended to be broadcast. I hope there won't be a repeat of this incident.

Yours,
[name] (age 30)"

I love that I told the BBC that they've forced me to use Bit Torrent to watch my favourite show!!
