- Radio 4 is currently doing well at broadcasting things that make me angry just as I am waking up. On Saturday they had Michael Winner on the Today programme talking about the new Playboy club. (To be fair, they also had Kat Banyard, who was awesome.) Michael Winner. WHYYYYY. One of his points was that if you go into an art gallery many of the pictures are of women. Because that is a) just the same as making waitresses dress up as bunny girls and b) completely the natural order of things and in no way influenced by any historical or sociological factors. *sigh* And then this morning I heard on the news about Vince Cable warning the unions that if strike activity increases, the laws on striking might be tightened. I have a lot of feelings about the importance of the right to strike, but even if I didn't, how is it ok to say "btw, you totally have this right, but if you try and exercise it or anything we will absolutely take it away. JSYK!"? Ugh.
- In happier, more Doctor Who related things, I am v. pleased to see that we seem finally to have found something all of fandom agrees on, and that it is that interspecies Victorian lesbian couples who fight crime are awesome (and should have their own spinoff. ♥
- I watched K9 and Company on Friday! THE CREDITS. OH THE CREDITS. I had heard they were a sight to behold, but I wasn't entirely prepared for their full glory. ...I sort of want to go and watch them again. :D Lis was amazing, of course, and made the whole thing much more entertaining than it had any right to be. (There were almost tears at "Oh, Doctor, you didn't forget!") And I do love K9. ♥ I adored the scene where he sings "We wish you a Merry Christmas"! Plus, one of the DVD extras was a spoof interview with K9, which is the sort of thing I would watch ALL DAY if I could. :D
