Forget 'Star Wars!' The Real Media Event is Tomorrow!

My fellow porker, Mark, is excited (see the post below) that he's got tickets to the sixth Star Wars Movie. You have to be dedicated to watch the movie in a foreign language after reading the script beforehand.

Well, to those who are only slightly older (ignore the polite coughs from those in the know), are equally excited at the prospect of a new series of Dr Who.

It started in 1963, and I can clearly remember the watching the early series in black & white TV. Although not a true series fanatic, I've watched most of permutations over the years.

The Darlek cry of "Exterminate" and "Resistance is Useless!" still reverberate. The later is commonly used when convincing my kids that I really am serious.

The first show is tomorrow night at 7.30, which unfortunately clashes with an engagement with friends to attend the 'local' to watch the Warratah's Super Twelve Semi Final. Thank heavens for video recorders!
