Watched yesterday

ER: ...As The Day She Was Born - Neela-centric episode, which is no bad thing because as all people of taste know, Parminder Nagra's the hottest actress to regularly star in ER since, well, Leslie Bibb. BTW, Angela Bassett has joined the cast for next season (which will be the last) - 4/5

Decision Time 2008 - final London mayoral debate, staged by Sky News and hosted by Adam Boulton. Boulton was a bit shambolic, but endearingly so, just like Jon Snow. The staging was shambolic too, and there are no excuses for that. Brian Paddick could become intensely irritating, so thankfully he has no chance of winning. He reminds me of the classroom snitch, which seems appropriate considering he used to be a police officer. Ken was Ken and Boris was toned-down Boris, though he did get a couple of lines in. When asked by Ken why he didn't vote for term limits, he replied that he didn't think Ken would be foolish enough to run for a third term. So who do I give my non-existant vote to? Ken's flawed for sure, his flirtations with dubious clerics is a worry, but he's done good things. Boris hasn't really run anything of consequence in his life and has few noteworthy policies, but has undoubted entertainment value. Unfortunately, entertainment value isn't enough. Sorry, but Ken gets my vote - 4/5

Entourage: The Dream Team - as reliable as ever - 4/5

Heroes: Four Months Later... - first episode of the second season. Mixed bag, really. The most interesting storylines so far are those of Claire and her father, the latter adding some welcome humour to proceedings as well. Hiro bimbling about feudal Japan with the guy who used to be in Alias is quite tedious and apparently it goes on for several episodes, which doesn't bode well. Suresh is still babbling on without consequence. I missed evil Niki - 3/5
