Seriously?? He's got a weird name in real life - I know that much.

The little girl is a joy: "In England we call them biscuits".

In fact the whole ensemble is great. Samantha Bond is great as the Auntie and Hugh Dennis and Claire Skinner are really believable as the parents.

Oh, Karen's (the little girl) response about the dreamcatcher is hilarious.

Auntie Angela: It's a dreamcatcher.
Karen: I had a dream about foxes trying to eat me. I hope it doesn't catch that one.

:D The programme leaves me with a big smile on my face.

Eccleston regenerating on BBC Three

Oh bums, I missed 10 seconds of David Tennant with weird hair talking about his new teeth.

:O I've missed all of it then!

The Hunt for the Red October. It's playing on TV right now. What a great movie.

The one with the Scottish Russians.

I'm not sure if that was a Friends episode.

Laughing out loud

Sir Sean is a legend. He's 78 now - can't believe it!

He is, it bugs me how he's too lazy to 'act' another accent though. I mean, he hasn't lived in Scotland for years, but still has a heavy Scottish accent. Strange that.

True, but I can't imagine now seeing him suddenly be American or South African or French!

That's cause he's never done it. I think he would have been a lot better actor if he had've done (from the start). But maybe he wouldn't be so iconic.

Edit; I think he may have done an English accent early on for a few roles.

Watching Star Trek - Voyager. :$

Yes, you can't argue with his success I suppose!

I didn't realise that's what they were. I thought it was just another sketch. Doh.

It was sort of supposed to be I think but it wasn't really funny - just trying to be clever.

Darnell & Mikey on BB being Elton John & Kiki Dee

Who Do You Think You Are? with Jerry Springer. My dad thinks he'll cry for at least half of the air-time, and keeps mentioning it!
