Dr Who

Still not into it yet. I'll give it one more episode I think, then it might be delete the series link!!

Recently bought a new Doctor Who novel, from Amazon, featuring John Hurt's war Doctor. It's called Engines Of War.
I highly recommend it. Very enjoyable.

9/10

^^^Halfway through reading it, as it happens

A beheading scene in an upcoming episode has been removed by the BBC in light of recent international and national news events.

it's the episode that's on tomorrow evening

they must've removed it because the scene looked shit compared to all the actual beheadings the kids have been watching on liveleak and ogreish!

BBC? Moffat? Filming something that might risk offending some middle class mumsnet type in Surbiton? Are you all sure it was an actual beheading? I'm sure that it must be like MIB with the alien who keeps growing his head back
Typical BBC. Edit the programme and risk ruining it rather than postpone that episode until a suitable and decent amount of time had passed as a mark of respect.

That's not the only cut that's been made. The 'lesbian' kiss from episode one has been removed for broadcast in some asian countries :

Do they not do artificial respiration there then ?

I don't go out of my way to keep up with previews etc so this will all be old news..

but from an article I have seen recently I'm concerned about the amount of "celebrity" casting that seems to be coming up..

Ben Miller as Sherriff of Nottingham ?
Keeley Hawes ?
Frank Skinner ?!
Chris Addison ?

Shades of JNT and Ken Dodd/Bonnie Langford syndrome ?
