Some say…

…his face is permanently blurred to protect his identity.

Google Maps launched its Streetview service in the UK yesterday, and some intrepid sightseers have already found the Stig at the BBC’s White City offices. Fun.

Also Nottingham High School, on a rare “not rainy” day:

Oh, and Wally on Putney High Street:

Starting for 10

Tonight is the final of series 15 of University Challenge, as Corpus Christi, Oxford, take on Manchester. Both teams have done phenomenally well in all of their previous games, so tonight promises to be a tough game.

I’m tipping Manchester to win. I know a lot has been written about about Corpus Christi’s captain, Gail Trimble, [...]

Calling The Doctor

According to this week’s Doctor Who, the Doctor’s phone number is 07700 900 461.

Alas, “The number you have called has not been recognized”. BBC, you disappoint me. Why feature the number so prominently (full screen, at least three times) if it doesn’t do anything? Would it really have been that difficult to put a recording [...]

Meh

Life on Mars is one of my favourite television series Of All Time Ever. This disturbs me a little… but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. It could be awesome, it could be rubbish. I’ll be watching.

30 Rock

Tonight’s episode of 30 Rock, on five at 10.50, is possibly the funniest piece of television I’ve seen in the last year. Watch it. Or feel forever that you’ve missed a little piece of something.

Snapple is awesome. That is all.

Who

For those who watched Doctor Who tonight (and if you didn’t, why not?)…

My name is The Master. I had an accident, and I woke up at the end of the universe. Am I mad, in a coma, or back in time? Whatever’s happened, it’s like I’ve landed on a different planet. Now, maybe [...]

Any Dream Will Do

Two things before we start: I love musicals, and I hate TV talent and reality shows. I can’t stand The X Factor, Pop Idol, Big Brother and so on. I would much rather be sitting at the back of the Apollo Victoria. Past experience of TV talent shows suggest they’re no very good at picking [...]

Mobile

Running alongside a Grauniad blog article is an advert for a new ITV drama, Mobile.

But Mobile isn’t on tonight. It’s on next week. Oops.
