The Funny Side of...
Episode 6 Christmas
'Funny' in quite a loose way, unfortunately.
[Watch it (again) on iPlayer.]

James May's Toy Stories
1x05 Lego
1x04 Scalextric
Welcome daily repeat run for this series (bookended by new episodes) as I missed it first time round. Why they're repeating it so thoroughly out of order, though, is anyone's guess.
[Watch Lego and Scalextric (again) on iPlayer.]

Merlin
2x12 The Fires of Idirsholas
2x13 The Last Dragonlord [season finale]
[Watch The Fires of Idirsholas and The Last Dragonlord (again) on iPlayer.]

Said so.

The Joke’s On Who 2 by Dave Golder
(from SFX)
"By some systems of counting Planet Of The Dead could be considered Doctor Who’s 200th story (if you count Shada, for example, and The Trial Of A Time Lord as four separate stories)"
Well this is a thorough "oops" moment for a sci-fi mag -- the exact opposite is true (you have to not count it & count them as one to make it #200). Interesting list otherwise though. (Part 1 is here, incidentally.)
