Notes

1. Good news in the world of Doctor Who where the BBC have announced that Steven Moffat is to replace Russell T. Davies as executive producer. Moffat is responsible for writing some of the best episodes, including The Girl In The Fireplace and Blink. Davies deserves credit for reviving the series, but the episodes he wrote were almost always the weakest and it is time he moved on. Moffat takes up the reigns in time for the 2010 season - remember, there's no 2009 season.

2. Film recommendation - The Station Agent, 11.35pm tonight on BBC One.

3. The government has apparently abolished Cheshire and Bedfordshire.

4. Good, perceptive articles in the Guardian sticking the boot in Labour from George Monbiot and Polly Toynbee today.
