Magazines

Doctor Who Magazine #408
Lots of letters about last issue's Christopher H Bidmead interview... which I still haven't read. Elsewhere, next-to-no news. Long way 'til there's more Who on telly yet.

Radio Times 2-8 May 2009
Amongst all its usual goodness, this RT includes an excellent article about the job of Sundays. It's by Alexander Armstrong and it's on page 14, and I'm sorry I'm only mentioning it when this issue has two days left on sale.

What Hi-Fi? May 2009
Looking for a new TV and a Blu-ray player, so what better place than an expert mag with a buyer's guide? The next issue (out in just a few days) may have a "Budget Blu-ray Shootout" to find the best low-cost player, but this issue's review of the Panasonic DMP-BD60 has me quite convinced (that linked-to one is different to the one in the magazine, though covers more-or-less the same points). It's especially attractive as I know I can get it chipped to play any region, an essential addition for me. Super!

You really should read the Bidmead interview.

I found that I agreed with most points he made; I just disagreed that most of them were Bad Things. He's spot on about the screwdriver though.
