I was wondering where I'd haunt as a ghost. Parliament would be fun, but get depressing. Shopping centre probably OK. Hotel, I'd feel like a creep. Nothing too outdoorsy. Theatres, too poky. Maybe a real big airport. Anyway, I spent so long thinking about it, a Tesco staff member asked if I was OK.

All will be set free, but be electronically tagged. The Home Office will release a free app that lets you track them down, like Pokemon, and gain points for every con you scan. A month's free luncheon vouchers for every 100 points gained. Points per convict vary based on severity of crime.

The more I watch 'A Canterbury Tale', the more convinced I am that the end sequence of our pilgrims receiving blessings, is The Archers' greatest achievement as storytellers.

This week, Terry Nation tries to reclaim the glory days when Dalek stories took place on a more modest scale — full of incident and action sequences, but shot in a studio that had once hosted episodes of Morecambe and Wise. #DoctorWho #PlanetOfTheDaleks 500yeardiary.com/s5/e7

Nice moment in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home when they arrive at San Francisco, until you discover Sulu said this about every place they went in the universe. What you can't see is the rest of the crew rolling their eyes.

JL2 'The Ruins of Kaerula' box set. The Kaerula set stories are mercilessly dull, despite a brave attempt to do some interesting time-wimey stuff. Plodding and forgettable. 'Cry Of The Banshee' is much better. Starts out in a very Pertwee era-ish mode and then takes a surprising and strange turn.
