Sat 19 November 2005 - Doctor Who stuff
A special charity episode with David Tennant and Billie Piper just aired in Britain, and is available online for a little while. (Though so far, I can’t get it to play. I assume that’s a heavy load, rather them blocking it for non-UK viewers.)
This looks vaguely familiar: Cybus Corporation.
I’ve just ordered the 9th Doctor boxset (the one with all the special features). At just under $100 (including postage) from Amazon UK, it’s substantially cheaper than the (almost exhorbitant) $150 asking price in Australia, and I should get it a week or two before the AU release.

I wasn’t aware DVDs and VHS tapes from the UK work in Australia.

I couldn’t get it to play either until I realised that my settings for the BBC site were to play content in Windows Media. Change your settings to Real Player and give it a go.

Anonymous, The UK use the same type as we do(PAL)whereas in the US and Canada, they use NTSC. Although the DVD regioning is different,Aus- R4,UK-R2. If you have a multi region DVD player, then you should be fine if you want to watch a DVD from R2(although you might need to find out whether your TV has NTSC playback abillity if you want to watch a R1 dvd, or possibly a NTSC tape).

Couldn’t get the BBC feed to work, but naturally it’s available via BitTorrent
Awesome that it continued straight on from the end of last season, but hell it dumped us with even more of a cliffhanger than we already had damnit…!!!
Bring on December (and then January for part 2 of season 2 of Battlestar Galactica)!

Public transport, moving house, settling in, relationship, work, kiddies and Doctor Who. Very well rounded.
