The BBC has made available the original Last Chance To See radio programmes from 1989 (UK only, unfortunately) - Douglas Adams and Mark Carwardine travelling the world in search of endangered species. I had no idea they were narrated by the original Voice Of The Book, the late, great Peter Jones. Even if you've read the book, these radio gems are highly recommended.

Millennium Dome's Daddy (he doesn't say which) reviews Doctor Who: The Planet of the Dead. He doesn't like it very much. I quite enjoyed it at the time, but agree with every one of the criticisms listed here, and suspect it won't be one I re-watch much.

Daddy Alex always writes over on the other blog.

Daddy Alex doesn't write nearly enough on the other blog! But you're entirely right. Daddy Richard writes the guest reviews on Millennium (usually, Millennium writes his own pieces, of course), though we all bounce around ideas after we've watched it...

I thought it was one of Richard's harshest reviews, but while - like you - I quite enjoyed it at the time, it seemed to fall to pieces more each time we discussed a bit. My one-line review would be, 'Voyage of the Damned with added sharks, but much less to it'. Though I like Voyage much more than Richard does!
