Strictlywatch 2009: Brucie Bonus
I have come up with a new, brilliant, theory, though I say so myself, and I didn't even need an apple to fall on my head: the BBC don't know when to say "enough". They kept adding episodes of Eastenders until there were so many that keeping up with it was a full-time job - so I quit. And now ...

Strictlywatch 2009: week 10
Is it midseason fatigue or has Strictly got suddenly, fatally dull? This is my third attempt at a Strictlywatch for this week. But what is there to say? Bruce was back to his smug, homophobic ways (telling Craig not to call men "darling") - GET RID GET RID GET RID - Tess was back in the backroom ...

Doctor Who: The Waters of Mars / Children in Need
THERE WILL BE SPOILERS... I know it went out days ago, but it feels unnatural to let an episode of Doctor Who go by without comment. (I have visions of myself standing outside the gates of heaven with St Peter saying "I read your blog, you know - what were you DOING between November 15th and ...

Strictlywatch 2009: week 9
I'm going to have to watch what I say very carefully this week, as last week's mention that I wanted Brucie to die, I mean retire, seems to have had a disastrous impact on his health. Sorry, Bruce. Can't you just move to a remote Caribbean island somewhere? Anyway, it was interesting to see how ...

Reviewus Interruptus
Just switched on my PVR to discover that it hasn't recorded any of the programmes that I have set over the last several weeks. No Strictly over the weekend, no Doctor Who, NO DAVID TENNANT, no True Blood, no Peep Show, and none of the entire series of The Thick Of It that I was looking forward ...

Strictlywatch 2009: Week 8
And now! Live! Live!! LIVE!!! from BLACKPOOL!!!! It's the Strictly Come Dancing Kicking Out Craig Special!!!!! OK, so when did the Blackpool episode become all about Craig? Why was I not invited to that meeting? I'm pretty sure I was free. I realise that Craig is FROM BLACKPOOL, in case ...

Firestation Bookswap: November Preview
Over on his brilliant blog, Robert Hudson does a lovely job of publicising next month's Firestation Bookswap , in which he is appearing with Richard Asplin . I think it's going to be a particularly good one this month, if you can make it, which is not to diss the particularly good ones we've had ...

Strictlywatch 2009: Weeks 6 and 7
Oh my god! OH MY GOD! I can't believe I managed to stay spoiler-free! From the comments I thought the big news was the tiff over Ricky and Erin's dance, and something about Jade's eyebrows! ALI AND ZOE! ALI AND ZOE! WT MUTHA-F-ING F??? Although, to be scrupulously honest, at the end of the ...

Strictlywatch Interruptus
No Strictlywatch this week either. This is the price you pay for me going away for ten days to a cottage with very dodgy (read: largely non-existent) television reception and finishing my novel. I will leave it up to you whether you think it was worth it. (If you're very lucky there will be a ...

I Am Robbie Williams (Sort Of)
womanwhotalkedtoomuch.blogspot.com — I finished my first draft today. (Subject to minor corrections before I send it to my agent.) I want to be honest here about what finishing was like because I didn't feel how I think I was supposed to feel. In short: it was horrible. I was panicking ... I Am Robbie Williams (Sort Of)
A Short Blog About Writing
Since Sunday night I have been by myself in a cottage in Dorset. It's my favourite place to write. It's perfect because it's so beautiful, peaceful and quiet, and because there's absolutely nothing else to do. That's an exaggeration, of course. Today I read some of the weekend papers, and went ...
