Big Brother and Sister

An interesting take on how a C4 boss thinks that BB is a modern parable...

Personally I think that this series is not that compelling (and that's coming from someone who watched all the other series avidly).

But whilst we're on the subject of TV - how good has Doctor Who been! Belatedly watched the last episode last night and IMHO thought that that had more to say as a modern parable than 13 strangers getting drunk, making false displays of affection and arguing about cleaning up... It showed us what happens when you have the power to look into the heart of time and space, how to take responsibility with a kiss, and the possibilities of dying to live again.

(And to David Tennant, with those new teeth - Barcelona here we come...)

Scottish via Estuary English I think... (Those new teeth might still be settling in as well, you know.)

Things you might not know about David:

- His favourite band is The Proclaimers
- He was born in Paisley, Scotland on April 18th 1971
- He once played a cross-dressing barmaid in an episode of the comedy series Rab C. Nesbitt
- And he was a brilliant Casanova recently on the Beeb...
