8 Out of 10 Cats

Criminal Justice
Part 5 (of 5)
The show with TV's most boring title sequence comes to an end. While justice is served it's pleasingly not a "and they all lived happily ever after" ending -- major characters lose relationships, careers, and even their lives. In spite of a final half hour that show the legal system coming through for Ben, it's too little too late to restore any faith you may have had in it, which was surely shattered by the rest of the series.

Mine All Mine
Part 5 (of 6)
When Mine All Mine first went out, they were offered a fantastic slot (between one of those talent shows and Christmas, I think)... but it was only five weeks and they'd made six episodes. So out went most of part five, with the necessary bits edited into a longer final episode. Hence why I'm seeing much of this one for the first time. Incidentally, Mine All Mine is utterly hilarious and massively underrated, if you ask me.

This Morning
(4/7/08 edition)
A brief and relatively uninformative interview with Doctor Who boss Russell T Davies. It was great when the Dalek woke up though.

Wimbledon 2008
Bits and bobs, but most substantially: half of the more likable Murray brother sadly losing his mixed doubles semi-final; and the end of unseeded Brit Laura Robson beating Romana Tabakova in the girl's semi-final. Tabakova = stroppy Slovak; Robson = amusing and likable. Clearly, if there is a theme to my thoughts on Wimbledon players, it's "be likable". And it helps if you're British.
