Wimbledon 2010
Been keeping a vague eye on Wimbledon so far, but paid proper attention today: picking up a match I saw some of the end of yesterday before play stopped for light... which, as you may have heard, turned to the record-demolishing Longest Match Of All Time -- John Isner vs Nicolas Mahut, in which the final set alone eventually beat the previous record for Longest Match Ever.

Magazines

Radio Times 26 June - 2 July 2010

One wonders if the Radio Times is subtly displaying a dislike for Mongrels, BBC Three's new puppet show. I quote:

"The mistake is thinking puppets can do all the work - you need a good script."

Mongrels is written by Daniel Peak and Jon Brown, who have previously worked on Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps and My Hero.

Or, to put it another way:

"you need a good script."

This script is by some guys who previously wrote some godawful shit.
