TV

Cracker
1x03 To Say I Love You Part 1
[Watch it (again) on ITV Player.]

So, Demons, eh? So much for being just one week behind, I'm now over two. And I was doing so well...

Poetry

The Ballad of Reading Gaol by Oscar Wilde
Wilde's long but rewarding poem about a hanging that took place while he was in prison. The carefully-observed rhythm, rhyme and alliteration are all right up my street. (I'd consider it for Poem of the Week, but it's so bloody long...)

Magazines

Doctor Who Magazine #405
Matt Smith is the Doctor... though he's not treated to that famous DWM headline just yet, 'cause there's still four episodes left for The Other Guy. There is his first-ever exclusive magazine interview since landing the part, however, and despite filming being six months away there are a few tidbits for fans nonetheless.
Not a great deal else of note in this issue, it must be said, especially as the key snippets of news were blown on Outpost Gallifrey the day before it came out. I guess they've given up on their former policy of not stealing DWM's news in advance then.
